Browning Hi-Power Mark III 9mm Luger – 1991 Belgian/Portuguese Full-Size Pistol, Matte Black, 13+1
Produced in 1991, the first full-production year of the Mark III revision, this Browning Hi-Power combines classic FN design with the practical updates that defined the late-generation models. Belgian-made parts were assembled in Browning’s Portuguese facility, resulting in the durable matte epoxy finish, newly added firing-pin safety, and external extractor that set the Mark III apart. A factory 13-round magazine, luminous 3-dot sights, and wrap-around checkered synthetic grips round out a proven single-action platform prized by shooters and collectors alike.

What’s Included
- Grey Browning ABS factory pistol case with original label
- Browning Hi-Power owner’s manual (black cover)

The Mark III variant introduced a firing-pin block and a tough matte epoxy finish, giving this Hi-Power modern safety and corrosion resistance while retaining the slim profile and crisp single-action trigger that define the platform.
Factory rollmarks—“MADE IN BELGIUM – ASSEMBLED IN PORTUGAL” and Browning’s Morgan, Utah / Montreal address—confirm its Belgian fabrication and Portuguese assembly, a hallmark of late-production Hi-Powers.
Fixed luminous 3-dot sights provide a clear sight picture in varied light, while an external extractor and vertically-serrated slide enhance reliability and handling.
The pistol wears aftermarket wrap-around checkered synthetic grips that offer a secure, full-hand purchase without altering the Hi-Power’s classic lines.
With its 4.625-inch barrel, 13+1 double-stack capacity, and spur hammer, this full-size sidearm balances shootability and capacity in a timeless design still valued on the range and in collections.
