Robar Browning Hi Power

[@georgelong4888]

Robbie does nice work. Back when the .40 cal Hi Power first came out, about 1993, I built a Custom 40 for a customer. The last time I shot it was a joy to shoot. For the final finish I had Robar use his proprietary finishes. Leap forward and its now 2017. The gun is returned as the owner wants to give it to my new born grandson. When I unboxed the gun it looked like the day I sent it to the customer. I stripped the gun and cleaned it. There was little to no wear showing. The lack of wear can be attributed to Robar's finishes. This was an every day Pistol made to use in the real world where my customer could bet his life own. I hope my grandson is allowed to enjoy it for years once he is old enough.

[@JayM1989]

That might be the sexiest pistol I've ever seen outside of 1911s. Really need to get myself a Hi Power

[@afrosheenix]

Jay save 500 bucks and get a CZ.

[@TheSaikou96]

Hi-Powers are improved 1911s ;)

[@TheCobradragon]

oscar trujillo I wouldn’t say improved nor would I call it a 1911 because it is HI POWER

[@JayM1989]

Haha way ahead of you brother. I love CZ.

[@yourmom1302]

There are other custom hi powers that much more resemble a 1911. Plus there is a pretty good aftermarket market.

[@Mjk10957]

Had a browning 9mm high power in iraq for a couple of months before it got replaced by the sig p226 british army now using glock 17 however out of those 3 pistols i still prefer the browning every time p.s you americans a really lucky what you can have over the pond i got a uk firearms lieance but we just cant have what you boys have god i be even happy to have your californa gun laws

[@pinkiewerewolf]

That is high praise because those are three great pistols. I had a P226 and the only reason I traded it for an older German made P220 was all the safety "stuff" that California made Sig put on the newer Ca models.

[@michaellissow543]

Wow! That's saying a lot about your gun laws. I live in Cali, can't stand the unconstitutional restrictions. The people voting for more gun restrictions have no idea what they're getting into. They're willing to throw away their hard earned freedoms, earned at the expense of others lives, to have some preconceived notion that they'll be safer, but what they're actually doing is enslaving themselves to, and ensuring a tyrannical government, to which they will neither be safe (r) or free!! You get it. These dummies live here and are oblivious.

[@anchorbait6662]

uk spartan 2 nobody should have to settle for even Californias laws. Come on over. The waters fine :)

[@jordanaug81]

Haha "over the pond", I like that and yes we are lucky, or just really adamant about fighting for gun rights.

[@larrydalestubblefieldthe8263]

uk spartan 2 I bet you can find a place here cheaper than you think nice place out of town 2-5 acres about 145k USD in oklahoma no rules can have anything you want get ya a Chevy truck and a scar heavy and I agree come on over the waters fine

[@Jeremy-io4hm]

Tell Brandy I said thanks for all she does. I really appreciate the whole IV8888 family for everything y'all do!

[@anchorbait6662]

"I said Brandy, that's a fine gun. Such a fiiiiine gun indeed!"

[@joep4235]

damn, I wish I had thought of that!!! :-)

[@anchorbait6662]

If I hadn't said it, I know you would have bud. :) ha

[@argu4096]

Would make a fine wife.

[@anchorbait6662]

out4danoney29 I don't know that he did.

[@TheGremlin50cal]

its trigger could steal a gun grabber from California

[@kusifdf]

0:03 eric

[@Macleod644]

Luis Assis lol

[@Menaceblue3]

Technically that is Eric from a different alternate dimensional reality!

[@anchorbait6662]

Eric... Not!

[@PuFFieS13]

Isn't that Eric?... Just kidding LOL!

[@maxstueven1965]

Apparently Chad is not important enough to have his name on it

[@kennethfox6271]

ah, nice to see a Hi Power video. I have the practical in .40 and I love it!

[@JH-jh8ms]

Two-tone guns are everything.

[@danielfisch655]

Robar does some great work. I had them cut slots in a BHP MKI and install night sights for a present for my father in-law. It was flawless.

[@docgonzodotcom]

Love a Hi Power in any form, but this one's real purdy... Great video, guys!

[@chrisloUSA]

I got myself a surplus 1965 Belgian Hi-Power off of AIM last year for $430, the finish shows some wear but it's the best $430 I ever spent. All I did to it was put a little White Out on the front sight and bought a bunch of Mec Gar 15 round magazines, I am very happy with it.

[@schwarzerkuerbis]

This was a very nice realistic review. No wonder the SAS used this handgun for decades, it is one of the most sturdy and reliable handguns ever made. And the sight on that gun is off to the left for sure.

[@Libertyspot-1]

Thank the LORD I got my Hi Power done in full NP3 Plus before ROBAR went out of business. Sad to see them go. Who is doing NP3 coatings now????

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Love my Dads Practical Browning Hi-Power in 40 S&W. It's a dream to shoot and it's accurate too. I'm a Browning fan and own severely of them, they are so reliable too. Thanks for this review it brought back some members of my Dad. I also would love to have a Robar Browning Hi-Power in 9mm. Thanks IV8888

[@kenhelmers2603]

Congrats to Brandy, and thanks for what you do!

[@patmancrowley8509]

I really liked the flinch when the slide lock had worked and you were expecting it to fire. That is at time stamp: 9:45. What a hoot.

[@scottrosenthal1124]

Very nice! Robar is right up the street from my home. Very professional people and product.

[@calebrec9073]

Thank you Brandy

[@ronschramm9163]

I love the channel, and realize ya'all are fairly young, compared to me, but Robar became most well known about 30+ years ago for their NP3 finish. I used to live in Arizona back in the day, and dropped a PA-63 and had the NP3 finish put on...it was terrific and really made the gun look great.

[@symmetrytanner5156]

You boys need to take a lesson from hickock45. Make excuses before shooting... Then you won't miss

[@Rocketman9mm]

Damn all those upgrades make the hi-power so much better. If I ever got one I'd have much of this same work done on it.

[@CTM6point7]

Beautiful firearm, great video! I've been really looking into getting one of my Sig Sauer's done by Robar. The work they do is outstanding! Very nice pistol you have there, and it's for sure A Carry Gun!

[@dgdvrn]

0:49 he had 2 bullets left and pushing out hahahahahah

[@timb9606]

I've always liked the look of the Browning Hi Power Practical, but Robar took that one over the top. Absolutely incredible!!

[@rednecksniper4715]

Do a review on the nighthawk custom hi power

[@PhantomX889]

I love the hi power look. I wish the new ones weren't so expensive though. The new ones from browning aren't worth $800+ If they were around $500-600, I'd buy one

[@shotgunrain1994]

Luke Weaver they’re only gonna go up in price now that they won’t be made anymore

[@tylers.4506]

Luke Weaver They are worth every cent, once you handle and shoot or own one you will understand the cost.

[@ares9304]

Buy an FEG P9. Put in Browning Hi Power springs and you're good to go. Had a P9 as a service weapon.

[@johnmorganjr769]

Paid 600.00 in 1990!

[@patforet7336]

Yea well best you look into the Raven or Zenith pistols because you get what you pay for.

[@redtra236]

Also something cool about this gun is the ATF exempted it from being an SBR if you use an original or reproduction Hi Power stock.

[@TheAsh377]

how much did the custom job cost?

[@freshfowler1398]

THANK YOU BRANDY!!!👍

[@pocketstring3634]

Alas, Robar is no more.

[@gabrielalfaro1040]

Look that long beaver tail...looks good it's like the best improvement that you can make to a browning high power for people with big hands

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

So many memories with my "Grande Puissance"

[@bigbadfnmonkey]

Cant say nuthin bad bout ROBAR! I have a 1911 Springer TRP that had a full facelift, and its the best working pistol I own. Nice video fellas, & best wishes, MIKE.

[@patmancrowley8509]

Thanks, Brandy, for helping me with the Mancan some time back.

[@ig16]

Can you do a review on the 1916 Spanish Mauser?

[@jacobgebman4666]

3 times the gun locked back with a single round in the magazine. I'm guessing that's not riding the slide stop. that seems like a magazine flaw

[@michaelandradejr]

its a big slide lock man kinda funny mine can do it to if i lean it sideways or like chad is doing noodling the dam grip like a dandty lady LOL

[@deadsoulwalking4296]

It's the slide lock for sure, not the mag

[@michaelreardon7667]

Yeah, I caught that too. He didn't want to admit it and actually thumbed the round back on the first mag.

[@zachhebbe1]

I did stippling on the top and backstrap of a beater ruger p89 with a tool engraver before I duracoated and it actually looks pretty close to that stippling!! Pretty cool

[@jones9467]

do they make a robar hi point tho

[@anchorbait6662]

Good-point :)

[@ntsims01]

Thanks Brandy!!

[@GoddessofGrunge]

Wow 😳 that's a sweet hi-power! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@New2Kendo]

To bad Browning has ceased production on the Hi Power, they are very nice, I had one (should have kept it) hopefully I can get one before the price jumps much higher than it is now

[@nobilismaximus]

At a guess if the frame is nonferrous alloy the grip Stippling was done with an air powered needle gun with very fine pins.

[@zamiruco]

Hey buddy, can you recommend me a website to look for a tactical leg handgun holster for a browning detective high power ? Thank you

[@dannon2010]

That's a great addition.. the extended hammer protector at the top of the grip. Little girly maybe, but after a couple hundred rounds in my HP, I'm all chewed up on my hand.

[@darrylnelson6264]

I sent a Browning Hi-Power to Robar for some work too, but not as much as she had done. Still a very nice gun,

[@cctrans29]

As a 1911 fan, I find it almost a duty to own a Browning High power to honor the Master JMB. And because it is a fine 9mm pistol. Maybe send it in to High Power girl for a little work. 😉

[@gudrich]

0:47 Got up to the latency delay and the cartridge still had a cartridge !?

@13:15 I see what you did there: It really is a killer pistol :)

[@jimzo1985]

thanks brandy !!

[@Mossy500A]

That beaver tail could be used stake a vampire in the heart! Cool gun and nice shooting.

[@mikedee6173]

Beautiful Hi Power. ❤️ the channel.

[@michaeljust3577]

I've had Robar coat 3 rifles. They do awesome work.

[@jackwatts9030]

Does Robar still have the best after-market finishes? Who are their competitors in that area? Looking to have a couple pistols refinished.

[@BB-mo9sf]

Excellent video. Maybe put a microphone near the slide and drop it on a fresh magazine ...what a fantastic sound!

[@kaveebee]

5.08 I love that sound too

[@johnny32149]

GREAT WORK GUYS

[@QuiGonJim76]

I have a FEG Hi Power clone, love that gun! Would love to get an actual Browning someday.

[@TheKentuckyPatriot]

Beautiful gun!!!

[@NoName-gt5mc]

Robar is the fucking shit I live in Phoenix and I feel so blessed every time I can just drop shit off there and not have to deal with the mail

[@CWB1863]

The ejection is fantastic!

[@writtenworlds]

"Hi this is Chad..." *Eric pops up on screen*... I think my brain just melted...

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Beautiful piece!

[@amandamyers5169]

Great video Eric an Chad. I just love The Browning Hi Power. It's one of my all time favorites. I want an FN made Hi Power for my Collection. An I truly hate a magazine disconnect. I believe they are dangerous an ridiculous.... Nice Hi Power guys...

[@timwilliamanderson]

I kind of want to know if they made the safety less squishy Browning Hi Power and more crisp like a 1911

[@TheCobradragon]

Are there any American made hi power pistols? Are they all made over seas?

[@Deadtileyedie]

Killing me lol....I've been lusting for a hi power for soo long now..this one is awesome robar makes great stuff, I have a robar g17 and even there connectors are amazing..

[@delzottoj]

Have you guys at moss pawn ever come across an ASP handgun?

[@vdelrio999]

Any updates? "Thumbing the slide release" improved or symptomatic of the pistol?

[@HypocriticYT]

Great looking work on it. I've never had one bite me so I don't really understand the extended beaver tail except maybe for largest of hands or chubby ones..

[@midnight4540]

browning JUST CANT GO WRONG, I CALL IT THE 1911 SISTER. keep up the good work!

[@jz1366]

It kind of is. it was basically designed as a "new and improved" 1911 model. very nice pistol.

[@Yeoman7]

Didn't you guys already do a video on this gun?

[@johnmorganjr769]

How much was the Robar treatment? I have an 89 model, the Browning bluing is so easily disrupted, may look into it. Iraq vet,2004-05,central near Balad.

[@douglasfrazier811]

I love my Rocke Guns Robar G43 and I love Hi Powers...Merry Christmas to me?

[@bigbadwolfbites607]

0:48 did the slide lock back with a round still in the magazine???

[@Nerezza1]

Dude... we have the same pic. :O

[@dexternorman6283]

Awsome gun review keep up the great work

[@SuperJuiceman11]

So a gun locking open with a round still in magazine? what would cause this?

[@RyanB1987]

RIP Hi Power. 82 years is a good run

[@cmaugle]

Are those sights specifically for the Hi-Power?

[@GrandadsGun]

Great vid thanks guys!

[@philipvanvaerenbergh5062]

Does any company make an affordable Hi Power? The new Browning's far exceed my budget. I've seen some surplus models come about but they seem to be low volume and are gone before I find out about them.

[@reedpond6867]

Over the years I found that the Hi Power generally runs better with 124 gr loads.

[@davidjakubowski1975]

id love to see some old WWII pistols. maybe a comparison between a few different countries' pistols. id be really happy if it included a viz.35.

[@richdow6517]

That is one beautiful hand gun!

[@stompy63]

Hope all well. Have son in military. Want to get ballistic plates for him. Could you recommend any. Thank you.

[@treydubs4184]

Great gun I need 1 immediately

[@351WINCHESTER]

For decades the h/p was the gold standard of pistols. I prefer the mag. disconnect as it gives you the option to make the gun safe from your kids & others by just removing the mag. The modifications are endless, but the most important is the trigger. Truly a classis that refuses to die.

[@pteronarcyscalifornica694]

No handgun is more beautiful than a well finished Browning Hi Power.

[@mnubs7975]

What brand flag cap is that you're wearing?

[@burgknife758]

Man that is a really nice hi power.great job robar.

[@smrts]

I know that feel with fucking up the operation of a gun by how you grip it. that was my experience with the glock 42, the place my right thumb wanted to sit was directly on the mag release so every 3 rounds or so the mag would drop.

[@graycloud057]

What a beauty!

[@ryebread6167]

take it out to 600?

[@amartin8716]

What did it cost to give it a beautiful makeover like that? I have one I might like to send in to get pampered. Lol.

[@ryanmerrill3012]

:36 ! Haha, gosh. Next question? (YT weird abt how you phrase comments) Chad seems unwilling to chip a nail, thinking somehow he can ruin a refinished 2nd licence Browning pistol. What the refinished pistol has become is more tactile and useful under many climactic conditions, and is made MORE accurate by the application of texturizing copolymers!! I love you, baby!

[@FightingTemplar]

What an awesome looking gun!

[@leroyjenkins4811]

This gun fixes the main things I hate about the Browning Hi Power, the hammer and the beaver tail. I always hated Hi Powers because always got hammer and slide bite.

[@mikeoconnm]

Thanks for the video guys. I am looking for a MK3 to replace my HP MK2 I sold. Dumb move on my part.

[@bldlightpainting]

Thank you guys so much for your very informative videos that do not contain immature disgusting vulgarity so often seen in other firearms related channels. You are very much appreciated. God bless.

[@bowlofrice8]

and stippling metal is easy ive done it on a few 1911s ive always used a small steel punch (harder than the gun) and you just whack it with a hammer my uncle is a gunsmith tho so he helps

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Soak up all the knowledge you can! I wish that I had a family member that was a gunsmith.
