Made in Belgium, this C-Series Hi-Power showcases classic FN/Browning craftsmanship with forged steel frame and slide, finished in polished bluing. The pistol uses the short-recoil, tilting-barrel locking system with cam slot and locking lugs, paired with a 4.6 in barrel.
Its 1972 production is reflected by the C-Series 72C year code. Belgian proof marks are present, and the rollmarks include "MADE IN BELGIUM" and "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH & MONTREAL P.Q.", confirming Browning Arms Co. distribution and Belgian manufacture.
The slide has rear serrations only, with the long-style external extractor. Sighting is straightforward with a fixed ramped front blade and a square-notch rear in a dovetail. The pistol retains the spur hammer and a single-action trigger.
Controls are classic Hi-Power: a left-side magazine release and a thumb safety. The checkered wood grips with a bordered pattern (single screw per panel) provide a traditional look and secure purchase. There is no lanyard ring on this example.
This full-size Hi-Power uses a detachable double-column magazine system and is configured here for 15+1 capacity in 9mm Luger. Two 15-round magazines are included.
