Made in Belgium, this commercial Hi-Power bears Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal P.Q. importer markings along with Belgian proofs. The serial format beginning with 245PT reflects Browning's two-letter dating system consistent with 1986 production.
The slide features polished-blue flats and a matte, non-glare top, paired with an external extractor typical of mid-1980s commercial Hi-Powers. Sights are fitted in a traditional configuration appropriate to this model and era.
Controls are single-side with a manual thumb safety, and the pistol retains the classic spur hammer. The absence of a lanyard ring matches the Standard configuration of this era. Checkered walnut grip panels with a bordered pattern provide a traditional Hi-Power feel.
This full-size, steel-frame Hi-Power uses a 4.65 in barrel and a 14+1 capacity in 9mm Luger. The polished blue finish over steel underscores the model's period-correct appearance and commercial-market build.
