I'm sure I'll be branded a heretic but I've never really seen the appeal of the Browning HP.

 

Of course, that said I don't like Glocks either so what do I know?

Now you have said it I'm going to as well. I don't like glocks either. There. I feel better now 😁

Not liking the look of Glocks is quite understandable - it's a box on a grip.  However, I rather like handling them.  Odd, really.

How anyone can find the Hi Power ugly... well I just don't get it

 

 

I love the look of M9's too, and they're not madly different.  Lots and lots of people like them.

Agree strongly.

M9's just scream 'l mean business' it's a mans* gat. I have three. Two Airsoft and one 4.5mm co2.

It's metal on metal at its best. 

There are a couple in the classifieds that I'm salivating over 🤤

 

 

*And ladies...

Is it just me or does it look like a 1911 and a 92F had a one night stand and 9 months later the Hi Power was born?

Yes!

But fortunately not face meltingly beautiful

See I despise the way the 92f looks but love the 1911 and the hipower.

The Beretta M92 is probably the best looking pistol man will ever manufacture. The Hi Power is a close second.

Sorry but all the above just don't add up to the superior aesthetics of the Walther P99

Too heavy handed mate.

Treat it like you would a refined and sophisticated lady. With care and tenderness and a hint of playfulness.

I'm ok cause my we M9 is like a lady of the night....don't cost much,likes it fast and rough and still wants more 😉😂

mine is also sitting in the “to do” pile 😂

[EDcase]

All I did was rack the slide and not overly forcefully.  That part is quite thin and made of really poor quality pot metal.  (afterwards I broke a part of it on purpose to see how strong it was)

I've already bought a replacement from KYAirsoft.  (Postage was more expensive than the part of course)

I also plan on strengthening it a bit with some JBWeld

 

Maybe next time I'll make a post to see if anyone else needs parts and we can put them all together into one order 😉

My WE hi-power is supposed to be awful according to everyone. It has the smoothest slide to frame interface of any pistol I have used. Never missed a beat. I am obviously lucky and get whatever the opposite of a Friday afternoon special is... Monday miracle?

[EDcase]

The slide is fine but the hop adjustment is incredibly basic and annoying to adjust. (Not a deal breaker as at least it stays when set)

The biggest problem with the current WE version is the valve knocker design that will snap VERY easily when a magazine is inserted (Uncocked).

Most pistols have a hinged knocker that folds up when a mag is inserted.

 

Make sure to rack the slide to cock the hammer (and striker) BEFORE you insert a mag!

Oh I agree it's a bit of a crap design, I didn't push my luck and buy the MK3. But I would certainly like a true modern spec version not just a rehash or a bad design.

Did you get the P35?

Its exactly the same design as the MK3

 

Personally I like KJWorks and wish they would produce a Hi-Power MK3

I'm sure TM have been intently reading this thread and as such will be announcing a GBB Hi Power at next week's Shizuoka Hobby Show. It's on my vision board ha.

Well if they are I will take a GBB upgrade to the MAC10, same as the mp7 please...

I want a TM Hi-Capa 3.8".

I handled the WE hi-power for the first time at the site shop on Saturday. Prior to this, I was considering taking the plunge, and despite all the warnings of it's mediocre functionality, well, just owning one. But after handling it, just no. Flimsy lightweight thing that feels like it's made out of metal barely thicker than a heavy duty roasting foil.

Was there a mag in?

Its a bit more weighty with a mag but yeah, I wish we could get a decent one.

To be fair, no there wasn't! I'll wrap a hicapa mag in tin foil later, and see if it makes a difference

Just fondling mine again 😜 and it does increase the weight quite a bit but at the grip of course.

In case you want to compare with other pistols its 813g with mag (no BB's which would add weight 🤣)

(Real steel is only 1kg)

BTW,  P99 is now fixed 😃
