all metal

[Double Tapper]

does anyone know if a company makes a all metal browning hi power military
pistol. tanaka's browning is made of abs,and i like using propane.i have looked
at all the companys i can think of

Browning Hi-Power is similar to a 1911, yes?
If so, what about these?

Are they so hidden?

Similar : yes in the style of hand gun,
real steal owners that have the BHP will disagree, beside other obvious little differences the BHP was originally only chambered in 9mm (I state originally as I haven't followed real steal pistol stuff for a while and I would be suprised if someone hasn't made a 22lr conversion)
Where as the 1911 is 45 ACP (mostly if i recall correctly they did chamber it in 9mm, 380 auto and other I can't remember) but generally the 1911 is accepted as a 45

CF impression is to have a browning hi power,that's what i used,that's
what i want,i just didn't want to carry around two diffirent gas sources.
i don't want the 226,but follow that i should use a 1911 instead,
is like saying i should use a m3a1 because i was unable to get a mp40.but thanks for looking

[Styrak]

Where did you get that I was recommending a p226 to you? Or what are you trying to say? It's kind of hard to understand.

Browning Hi-Power bears zero resemblance to the 1911.



An all-metal BHP is extremely rare and will typically be a one-off made with an aftermarket slide and frame. If you see the name Sheriff anywhere in the metal content, don't waste your money. Sheriff parts are sintered crap (compressed powdered metal) and routinely disintegrate.

the 226 came in awile after i left the service,i just meant it was not a
alternate choice,i just want to collect what i used and make some of
the things that are not avalible or just to pricey.if abs is all i
can find,i'll just go easy in the warmer weather

Rare indeed and FNH doesn't produce the Hi-power, except Browning themself.

[The Saint]

Metal frames for Tanaka revolvers are more common than Browning frames, that's crazy. Too many companies busy producing 50 bazillion minor variations of 1911 and 2011 parts.

Bash Sherrif all you want, but sintering is a great mechanical forming process. Most high-end (>$300) kitchen knives are sintered stainless steel; rockwell C hardnesses in the high 50s - low 60s.

[Gryphon]

Interesting, I didn't know that. I stand by my comment on Sheriff products though!

[ThunderCactus]

it depends whos doing the sintering and what type of material is used. monkey metal isnt good no matter what you do to it lol

It's been done. It's a pretty inexspensive kit aswell.

But seriously.. the BHP IS UGLY. Farking disgusting cr@p.

[talon]

but it's such a pretty ugly. i would jump for a BHP too.

[Double Tapper]
