The Mark III configuration brings practical updates to the classic Hi-Power design. This example includes an external extractor for reliable cycling, an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, and serrated pads on the slide stop and safety for positive control. The all-steel slide and frame are finished in blue/black, paired with black checkered synthetic grip panels.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 4.6" barrel and a 13+1 capacity, it uses a single-action, short-recoil, locked-breech system with a linkless cam. Sighting is straightforward and durable with a front blade and a fixed rear notch, and a spur hammer complements the established Hi-Power control layout.
Manufactured in Belgium, it bears Belgian proof and inspection marks. The slide carries dual rollmarks: "FABRIQUE NATIONALE HERSTAL" and "BROWNING S.A. MADE IN BELGIUM." An importer marking is present on the underside/front area (Kingston TN), and a lanyard ring is fitted at the heel.
The serial code information is consistent with a 1990 production Hi-Power in 9mm (prefix "NM" for year and "245" for caliber). These identifiers, along with the Mark III features, provide clear provenance and model correctness.
