FN Browning Hi-Power vs BDA-9 On The Range

[@CzechoslovakGunStories]

every time I look at Hi-Power I cannot believe how much ahead of its time this design was :)

[@FireflyActual]

Hi Kuba, good to see you here. You're absolutely right - the fact that the age of the Wonder Nice only really began in the 1970s is puzzling. Maybe it's because it took a while for FN's patents to expire?

[@paullytle1904]

@@FireflyActual i think its more to do with shooting techniques and people actually caring about pistols

[@CzechoslovakGunStories]

@@FireflyActual Hiii :) I guess it took some time to phase out revolvers, smaller caliber pistols, etc. Maybe the growing threat of terrorism contributed too. Like Munich massacre...

[@nunyabidniz2868]

@@FireflyActual Actually, it's because it took time for bullet development to enable the 9mmP to level the playing field between it, .38 S&W Spec wadcutters, and .45acp; until hollowpoints became a thing, the round nose ball that all 9mm semiautos required offered sub-par efficacy to either .38 Spec shooting semi- or full wadcutters, and of course, .45 acp RN made bigger holes. Enter HiVel & Detonics & others, & all of a sudden it was a whole new world, and the wonder nines surged to the forefront...

Very nice vid, Bloke. Good example of the transition to the "wondernine" fad. While the HP suffered from that small safety and the magazine disconnect, it's still ergonomically superior to most of those later whiz bang models of hi cap 9x19 pistols developed since.

The CZ75, though a different design, is what I consider the successor to the Hi-Power. I have an Argentine FM Hi-Power (wish I had grabbed a Canadian surplus Inglis when I had the chance); just about the most comfortable pistol I own. Once I install the Browning ambi safety, it will be just about perfect. Another thing I really like is that I can reach all the controls without shifting my grip.

[@ConorD1990]

Always enjoy the Friday video, been watching them every Friday morning on me coffee break at work, it's become a nice little tradition for myself this past year. Nice to see some BAP content on channel, was in the Reserve Defense Forces here in Ireland not long after these were being replaced with the HK USP, never had the chance to shoot one during my time though unfortunately. Anyway, thanks as always Mike.

[@ashleypalmer7983]

Even though the HP is considered obsolescent, you are not poorly armed. Maybe not my number 1 pick, but it is definitely in my top 5 selection for a combat pistol.

[@88porpoise]

Let's be honest, pretty much any decently made and reliable semi-automatic pistol in an appropriate caliber ever produced is going to be good enough for the vast majority of practical usage. But modern polymer framed double action pistols just have large advantages over any older generation of pistols. Whether for military or civilian usage. That isn't a dig at the Hi-Power or 1911 or anything else, it is just the fact that time marches on and we have much better materials and production technology in the twenty-first century than pre-WWII.

[@fredmaughan5669]

I loved my Hi-Power! Traded it away for an iron-lunged Harley Davidson FXR just before the Harley market exploded circa 1991. Could have bought 5 Hi-Powers for what I sold the FXR for just a year later. I bought a beautiful Beretta 92 instead. Super reliable, but I hated it at the range. That thing chewed up my fingers something awful. Funny how different people have different issues while shooting identical guns.

[@jayfrank1913]

And it was never fired in DA.

[@garryhynds4870]

Thank you, for the video, love the channel! I have had a browning hp since 1978 and fired a few rounds down range with it. It came with adjustable target sights, much nicer then the service sight. Also carried the service browning no. 2 mk1 when I was in the CDN army, and have fired that, a few times as well. Taking a course on the range the other day. Some of the lads had the new wounderwaffen pistols, sig, beretta, glock, and so on. The old girl still held her own, some rounds were a little off but I think that was do to gravity fluctuation because of Covid. LOL The browning still shoots better that me.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

Very interesting comparison. I've been around Hi Powers for my entire 'gun' life, but I've yet to actually fire a BDA. Generally I tend to enjoy DA/SA autos, so I've always been left to wonder if the BDA is fundamentally different from the HP. Thanks for finally showcasing one in such a high quality presentation. Also, gotta love those AWB-era magazines. I have a few made for a S&W 410 which hold a whopping 11! rounds, vs the compliant 10 rounders...oh, the joys of bygone days.

[@srvanddt1]

On my Hi-Power, I removed the magazine safety and it made a world of a difference. With my Lyman pull gauge, I got an average 5lb 10oz trigger pull with the magazine safety in, without I averaged 4lb 11oz. The gun had a very low round count.

[@noahcount7132]

Interesting and worthwhile comparison. Many thanks! "Progress" is not always positive or desirable.

[@luisnunes2010]

I always wondered how FN failed to update the Hi-Power. Can we have a deeper dive?

[@philips.5563]

They tried, but by the time this could have really gotten meaningful traction it was competing with guns like the 92 or 220. If a military had BHPs already, the BDA is not enough better to be worth the replacement process.

[@sergeantbigmac]

​@@philips.5563 Bingo

[@nunyabidniz2868]

FN focused on military sales, for which the completely amortized production line of the High Power was superbly suited, since militaries still preferred SA pistols right up to the mid-80s [safety] and of course, since pistols are of almost nil actual value on the battlefield, the cheaper the better.

[@bebopwing1]

My experience with hi-powers is that the magazine makes a huge difference on the trigger pull. Older parkerized mags definitely add some grit and creep to the trigger pull, but newer smooth Mec-Gar mags are a significant improvement in trigger pull because of how the trigger/ mag safety plunger slides across the magazine.

[@siestatime4638]

If you remove the magazine safety (which slides on the magazine) you can improve that grittiness a little, but I agree - a slippery magazine definitely helps, and your magazine may ALMOST drop free.

[@bebopwing1]

@@siestatime4638 I tried pulling the magazine safety and ultimately put it back in. Without it I just didn't think the trigger reset was firm enough. Really I think the hi-power trigger woes are overstated. It's certainly not a nice 1911 trigger, but it's light years ahead of a Glock or M&P.

[@sergeantbigmac]

@@bebopwing1 Thats a good point about the oft cited advice to remove magazine safeties. Some people also like a positive trigger reset. Positives and negatives for everything.

[@ccfmfg]

Bloke on the Range, In the 80's I found a copy of Gun Digest with a very extensive article on the Seecamp DA Conversion on the HP-35. Unfortunately Only a Prototype had been done unlike His DA Conversion for the 1911 which was mass produced. But the Article also went into depth about how the British SAS had gone to FN and asked Them to produce a DA HP-35 for Them and that's how the FN Browning HP DA was Birthed. But it did not reach the Civilian Market for a few more Years especially in the USA as I tried to get one for years but no one was Importing them till late in the 90s. Since You are in Sweden I'd like to see You pursue an interview with a SAS Armourer or A Pattern Room Armourer that has direct knowledge of the SAS HP DA History and may be able to show, demonstrate and disassemble a SAS HP DA. Thanks for the video.

[@alistermcknight844]

I am a Glock person but I also have a BDA-9 and I personally love the way it shoots. Plus I love a pistol that is slender in design. I was training extensively with the Glock and got accustomed to it's grip angle, and when I transitioned to the BDA I realized I was shooting more to the left as you did. All I did tho was to carry my left hand a little higher on the grip and I was spot on with every successive shot.. would have been a perfect weapon if only it had a higher ammunition capacity. But I love.

[@raymondwidell8701]

I love the comparison of the firearms, and do not care about the shot placement or grouping. Having enlisted in 88 my first issued sidearm was an Ithaca 1911-a1. Just over a year later I was issued a first gen M-9. It literally fell apart during my yearly qualification. I said the same thing as many others, "WTF have I been issued" as the rage cadre are screaming cease fire as I'm only holding the lower of my pistol. That did not happen in this video but the premise is the same; a really good pistol (old) was pitted against new tech and it underwhelmed. Keep up the content.

I too have a Belgian made Hi-Power I picked up while on duty in Germany through the local Rod & Gun club. I replaced the hard plastic grip panels with Hogue wrap-around rubber grips then fitted the rear dove-tail with a Leupold Delta Reflex sight. I now pile all the shots into the 9/10 ring with frightening regularity. It is so much easier to aim, or snap shot, I don't think I shall ever use open sights on a combat handgun ever again.

[@nunyabidniz2868]

Don't need to even entirely remove it; as delivered, they just typically have too much preload on the shoe that rubs against the mag. Taking the trigger safety apart, you can sort out how much to clip off the end of the spring [in my '90s FEG HiPower clone, 2 or 3 coils did the trick] which will leave it with just enough preload to function, but remove a HUGE amount of the grittiness and creep in the trigger. Of course, you can always get high zoot trigger jobs, etc., but this one thing is something almost anyone with even a bit of mechanical aptitude can do for themselves if they just take some time & proceed w/ caution. And the best part is, if you cut off too much and want to go back to the start, the spring is a cheap replacement part!

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Nice video, I'm a huge fan of the GP35, I used to own two of them. It's such an underrated gun still nowadays BTW You can easily remove the mag safety. It also improves the trigger by making it lighter in my opinion.

I did my APWT with both late model Browning HPs and older Mk 2s. By the 90s they they had gained similar 3 dot sights and an extended ambi safety. The grips were almost identical to the BDA. I believe they were hand me downs from certain units who had recently moved over to Sig 229s.

It's interesting how both FN and Colt failed so similarly in trying to make these SA legends conform to 1980s requirements.

A purpose designed pistol of its age will simply be better than an outdated pistol with a couple generations newer features jammed into it the vast majority of the time. And the same goes for most things. Retrofitting an old design can save on development time and costs but pretty much always results in an inferior product. And when your competitors are putting out modern products designed from scratch as modern products it is tough to compete.

[@salve8496]

Are you allowed to remove the Magazine safety on the hi-power? I've heard in America that's a common modification to improve the trigger

[@markroeder2491]

It is usually the first mod done to get rid of the abominable magazine disconnect. It is nice to be able to do a mag reload with a functional weapon. The modification does improve trigger pull, but I think it also lightens/weakens your trigger reset. BHP Spring Solutions have a trigger option containing a return spring that allows you to adjust your trigger return! It also changes the geometry of the trigger pull to feel more like a 1911 as JM Browning intended. Nice to see them correct design changes implemented by Saive.
