Robbie does nice work. Back when the .40 cal Hi Power first came out, about 1993, I built a Custom 40 for a customer. The last time I shot it was a joy to shoot. For the final finish I had Robar use his proprietary finishes. Leap forward and its now 2017. The gun is returned as the owner wants to give it to my new born grandson. When I unboxed the gun it looked like the day I sent it to the customer. I stripped the gun and cleaned it. There was little to no wear showing. The lack of wear can be attributed to Robar's finishes. This was an every day Pistol made to use in the real world where my customer could bet his life own. I hope my grandson is allowed to enjoy it for years once he is old enough.
Had a browning 9mm high power in iraq for a couple of months before it got replaced by the sig p226 british army now using glock 17 however out of those 3 pistols i still prefer the browning every time p.s you americans a really lucky what you can have over the pond i got a uk firearms lieance but we just cant have what you boys have god i be even happy to have your californa gun laws
That is high praise because those are three great pistols. I had a P226 and the only reason I traded it for an older German made P220 was all the safety "stuff" that California made Sig put on the newer Ca models.
Wow! That's saying a lot about your gun laws. I live in Cali, can't stand the unconstitutional restrictions. The people voting for more gun restrictions have no idea what they're getting into. They're willing to throw away their hard earned freedoms, earned at the expense of others lives, to have some preconceived notion that they'll be safer, but what they're actually doing is enslaving themselves to, and ensuring a tyrannical government, to which they will neither be safe (r) or free!! You get it. These dummies live here and are oblivious.
uk spartan 2 I bet you can find a place here cheaper than you think nice place out of town 2-5 acres about 145k USD in oklahoma no rules can have anything you want get ya a Chevy truck and a scar heavy and I agree come on over the waters fine
I got myself a surplus 1965 Belgian Hi-Power off of AIM last year for $430, the finish shows some wear but it's the best $430 I ever spent. All I did to it was put a little White Out on the front sight and bought a bunch of Mec Gar 15 round magazines, I am very happy with it.
This was a very nice realistic review. No wonder the SAS used this handgun for decades, it is one of the most sturdy and reliable handguns ever made. And the sight on that gun is off to the left for sure.
Beautiful firearm, great video! I've been really looking into getting one of my Sig Sauer's done by Robar. The work they do is outstanding! Very nice pistol you have there, and it's for sure A Carry Gun!
I love the hi power look. I wish the new ones weren't so expensive though. The new ones from browning aren't worth $800+ If they were around $500-600, I'd buy one
Love my Dads Practical Browning Hi-Power in 40 S&W. It's a dream to shoot and it's accurate too. I'm a Browning fan and own severely of them, they are so reliable too. Thanks for this review it brought back some members of my Dad. I also would love to have a Robar Browning Hi-Power in 9mm. Thanks IV8888
I love the channel, and realize ya'all are fairly young, compared to me, but Robar became most well known about 30+ years ago for their NP3 finish. I used to live in Arizona back in the day, and dropped a PA-63 and had the NP3 finish put on...it was terrific and really made the gun look great.
I did stippling on the top and backstrap of a beater ruger p89 with a tool engraver before I duracoated and it actually looks pretty close to that stippling!! Pretty cool
Cant say nuthin bad bout ROBAR! I have a 1911 Springer TRP that had a full facelift, and its the best working pistol I own. Nice video fellas, & best wishes, MIKE.
Seriously Racespec..? It's extremely easy to find national income data on whatever search engine you use. I guess I'll stop trying to teach you things, it's obvious from your comment you have a learning disability.
There is a gap that can't be accounted for its just like 2% not 23% when you take into consideration things like career choice and maternity, and less likely to ask for raises ect.
As a 1911 fan, I find it almost a duty to own a Browning High power to honor the Master JMB. And because it is a fine 9mm pistol. Maybe send it in to High Power girl for a little work. 😉
To bad Browning has ceased production on the Hi Power, they are very nice, I had one (should have kept it) hopefully I can get one before the price jumps much higher than it is now
Great video Eric an Chad. I just love The Browning Hi Power. It's one of my all time favorites. I want an FN made Hi Power for my Collection. An I truly hate a magazine disconnect. I believe they are dangerous an ridiculous.... Nice Hi Power guys...
That's a great addition.. the extended hammer protector at the top of the grip. Little girly maybe, but after a couple hundred rounds in my HP, I'm all chewed up on my hand.
Thank you guys so much for your very informative videos that do not contain immature disgusting vulgarity so often seen in other firearms related channels. You are very much appreciated. God bless. "Profanity proves neither toughness nor intelligence, only a lack of self-control, morals, maturity, language skills and character." BLD
How much was the Robar treatment? I have an 89 model, the Browning bluing is so easily disrupted, may look into it. Iraq vet,2004-05,central near Balad.
Great looking work on it. I've never had one bite me so I don't really understand the extended beaver tail except maybe for largest of hands or chubby ones..
I am not trying to criticize a Browning Hi Power or the fine people at Robar, but I don't understand why the beavertail on a Hi Power looks the way that it does. Just my opinion, but they look like they are too low and too long. The pistols done by Nighthawk are the same way. I wish that somebody could/would make them more like the beavertail on a 1911. Not too long and a little bit of an upsweep.
Killing me lol....I've been lusting for a hi power for soo long now..this one is awesome robar makes great stuff, I have a robar g17 and even there connectors are amazing..
Does any company make an affordable Hi Power? The new Browning's far exceed my budget. I've seen some surplus models come about but they seem to be low volume and are gone before I find out about them.
That might be the sexiest pistol I've ever seen outside of 1911s. Really need to get myself a Hi Power
Jay save 500 bucks and get a CZ.
Hi-Powers are improved 1911s ;)
oscar trujillo I wouldn’t say improved nor would I call it a 1911 because it is HI POWER
Haha way ahead of you brother. I love CZ.
There are other custom hi powers that much more resemble a 1911. Plus there is a pretty good aftermarket market.
0:03 eric
Luis Assis lol
Technically that is Eric from a different alternate dimensional reality!
Eric... Not!
Isn't that Eric?... Just kidding LOL!
Apparently Chad is not important enough to have his name on it

"I said Brandy, that's a fine gun. Such a fiiiiine gun indeed!"
damn, I wish I had thought of that!!! :-)
If I hadn't said it, I know you would have bud. :) ha
Would make a fine wife.
out4danoney29 I don't know that he did.
its trigger could steal a gun grabber from California

uk spartan 2 nobody should have to settle for even Californias laws. Come on over. The waters fine :)
Haha "over the pond", I like that and yes we are lucky, or just really adamant about fighting for gun rights.
uk spartan 2 I bet you can find a place here cheaper than you think nice place out of town 2-5 acres about 145k USD in oklahoma no rules can have anything you want get ya a Chevy truck and a scar heavy and I agree come on over the waters fine
Two-tone guns are everything.
0:49 he had 2 bullets left and pushing out hahahahahah
Tell Brandy I said thanks for all she does. I really appreciate the whole IV8888 family for everything y'all do!
You boys need to take a lesson from hickock45. Make excuses before shooting... Then you won't miss
ah, nice to see a Hi Power video. I have the practical in .40 and I love it!
how much did the custom job cost?
Thank the LORD I got my Hi Power done in full NP3 Plus before ROBAR went out of business. Sad to see them go. Who is doing NP3 coatings now????
Thank you Brandy
Robar does some great work. I had them cut slots in a BHP MKI and install night sights for a present for my father in-law. It was flawless.
Love a Hi Power in any form, but this one's real purdy...
Great video, guys!
I really liked the flinch when the slide lock had worked and you were expecting it to fire. That is at time stamp: 9:45. What a hoot.
Do a review on the nighthawk custom hi power
I got myself a surplus 1965 Belgian Hi-Power off of AIM last year for $430, the finish shows some wear but it's the best $430 I ever spent.
All I did to it was put a little White Out on the front sight and bought a bunch of Mec Gar 15 round magazines, I am very happy with it.
Also something cool about this gun is the ATF exempted it from being an SBR if you use an original or reproduction Hi Power stock.
This was a very nice realistic review. No wonder the SAS used this handgun for decades, it is one of the most sturdy and reliable handguns ever made. And the sight on that gun is off to the left for sure.
Beautiful firearm, great video!
I've been really looking into getting one of my Sig Sauer's done by Robar. The work they do is outstanding! Very nice pistol you have there, and it's for sure A Carry Gun!
3 times the gun locked back with a single round in the magazine. I'm guessing that's not riding the slide stop. that seems like a magazine flaw
its a big slide lock man kinda funny mine can do it to if i lean it sideways or like chad is doing noodling the dam grip like a dandty lady LOL
It's the slide lock for sure, not the mag
Yeah, I caught that too. He didn't want to admit it and actually thumbed the round back on the first mag.
I love the hi power look. I wish the new ones weren't so expensive though. The new ones from browning aren't worth $800+
If they were around $500-600, I'd buy one
Luke Weaver they’re only gonna go up in price now that they won’t be made anymore
Luke Weaver They are worth every cent, once you handle and shoot or own one you will understand the cost.
Buy an FEG P9. Put in Browning Hi Power springs and you're good to go. Had a P9 as a service weapon.
Paid 600.00 in 1990!
Yea well best you look into the Raven or Zenith pistols because you get what you pay for.
Can you do a review on the 1916 Spanish Mauser?
Congrats to Brandy, and thanks for what you do!
0:47 Got up to the latency delay and the cartridge still had a cartridge !?
do they make a robar hi point tho
Good-point :)
Look that long beaver tail...looks good it's like the best improvement that you can make to a browning high power for people with big hands
I've always liked the look of the Browning Hi Power Practical, but Robar took that one over the top. Absolutely incredible!!
Love my Dads Practical Browning Hi-Power in 40 S&W. It's a dream to shoot and it's accurate too. I'm a Browning fan and own severely of them, they are so reliable too. Thanks for this review it brought back some members of my Dad. I also would love to have a Robar Browning Hi-Power in 9mm. Thanks IV8888
So many memories with my "Grande Puissance"
Damn all those upgrades make the hi-power so much better. If I ever got one I'd have much of this same work done on it.
Very nice! Robar is right up the street from my home. Very professional people and product.
Alas, Robar is no more.
Hey buddy, can you recommend me a website to look for a tactical leg handgun holster for a browning detective high power ?
Thank you
I love the channel, and realize ya'all are fairly young, compared to me, but Robar became most well known about 30+ years ago for their NP3 finish. I used to live in Arizona back in the day, and dropped a PA-63 and had the NP3 finish put on...it was terrific and really made the gun look great.
THANK YOU BRANDY!!!👍
Thanks, Brandy, for helping me with the Mancan some time back.
Thanks Brandy!!
Beautiful gun!!!
take it out to 600?
0:48 did the slide lock back with a round still in the magazine???
Dude... we have the same pic. :O
I did stippling on the top and backstrap of a beater ruger p89 with a tool engraver before I duracoated and it actually looks pretty close to that stippling!! Pretty cool
At a guess if the frame is nonferrous alloy the grip
Stippling was done with an air powered needle gun with very fine pins.
thanks brandy !!
Cant say nuthin bad bout ROBAR! I have a 1911 Springer TRP that had a full facelift, and its the best working pistol I own. Nice video fellas, & best wishes, MIKE.
do you get a 23% discount for having a woman work on your gun?
The wage gap is a myth... It's still a funny comment though.
TheJustin574 that’s the joke man lol

GREAT WORK GUYS
@13:15 I see what you did there: It really is a killer pistol :)
Beautiful piece!
Any updates? "Thumbing the slide release" improved or symptomatic of the pistol?
To bad Browning has ceased production on the Hi Power, they are very nice, I had one (should have kept it) hopefully I can get one before the price jumps much higher than it is now
Awsome gun review keep up the great work
The ejection is fantastic!
Over the years I found that the Hi Power generally runs better with 124 gr loads.
5.08 I love that sound too
Great vid thanks guys!
Great video Eric an Chad. I just love The Browning Hi Power. It's one of my all time favorites. I want an FN made Hi Power for my Collection. An I truly hate a magazine disconnect. I believe they are dangerous an ridiculous.... Nice Hi Power guys...
Didn't you guys already do a video on this gun?
Beautiful Hi Power. ❤️ the channel.
where do u guys get your ear pro brand covers?
Excellent video. Maybe put a microphone near the slide and drop it on a fresh magazine ...what a fantastic sound!
Have you guys at moss pawn ever come across an ASP handgun?
"Hi this is Chad..." *Eric pops up on screen*... I think my brain just melted...
Wow 😳 that's a sweet hi-power! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
That beaver tail could be used stake a vampire in the heart! Cool gun and nice shooting.
I've had Robar coat 3 rifles. They do awesome work.
Are those sights specifically for the Hi-Power?
Great gun I need 1 immediately
Are there any American made hi power pistols?
Are they all made over seas?
That's a great addition.. the extended hammer protector at the top of the grip. Little girly maybe, but after a couple hundred rounds in my HP, I'm all chewed up on my hand.
Does Robar still have the best after-market finishes? Who are their competitors in that area? Looking to have a couple pistols refinished.
Thank you guys so much for your very informative videos that do not contain immature disgusting vulgarity so often seen in other firearms related channels. You are very much appreciated. God bless.
"Profanity proves neither toughness nor intelligence, only a lack of self-control, morals, maturity, language skills and character." BLD
Robar is the fucking shit I live in Phoenix and I feel so blessed every time I can just drop shit off there and not have to deal with the mail
I have a FEG Hi Power clone, love that gun! Would love to get an actual Browning someday.
I sent a Browning Hi-Power to Robar for some work too, but not as much as she had done. Still a very nice gun,
That is one beautiful hand gun!
adjust those sights?
What an awesome looking gun!
What a beauty!
How much was the Robar treatment? I have an 89 model, the Browning bluing is so easily disrupted, may look into it. Iraq vet,2004-05,central near Balad.
So a gun locking open with a round still in magazine? what would cause this?
What brand flag cap is that you're wearing?
Great looking work on it. I've never had one bite me so I don't really understand the extended beaver tail except maybe for largest of hands or chubby ones..
RIP Hi Power. 82 years is a good run
It said Eric instead of Chad in the beginning of the video
Man that is a really nice hi power.great job robar.
I am not trying to criticize a Browning Hi Power or the fine people at Robar, but I don't understand why the beavertail on a Hi Power looks the way that it does.

Killing me lol....I've been lusting for a hi power for soo long now..this one is awesome robar makes great stuff, I have a robar g17 and even there connectors are amazing..
I kind of want to know if they made the safety less squishy Browning Hi Power and more crisp like a 1911
Beautiful pistol!
always did have an affinify for the browning hi power
"Don't tell Brandy" that seems coincidental as Matt from Demo Ranch says "Don't tell Mere"
browning JUST CANT GO WRONG, I CALL IT THE 1911 SISTER. keep up the good work!
It kind of is. it was basically designed as a "new and improved" 1911 model. very nice pistol.
Does any company make an affordable Hi Power? The new Browning's far exceed my budget. I've seen some surplus models come about but they seem to be low volume and are gone before I find out about them.
Absolutely beautiful.
Dang. That looks awesome.
Hope all well.
Have son in military.
Want to get ballistic plates for him.
Could you recommend any.
Thank you.
