FN or Browning Hi-Power?

[PINski1015]

Looking at both and can't really see a difference. Is there a difference? I'm talking about new guns. FN does'nt list a price on it's website and the Brownings are right at 1000$.

Not much difference, no...

FN makes the Browning brand HPs anyhow.

Browning long-guns are made in Miroku, Japan

Browning handguns are made by FN in probably 3-4 different places.

Buy whichever one makes you happiest in pants.

There haven't been any new FN's in awhile, companies were blowing them out for pretty cheap several years ago. As a previous poster said the Brownings are produced by FN with the biggest difference being basically the markings and finish. No way would I pay 1000.00 for either one though, definately shop around you shouldn't have to pay that much. I saw a couple nice used ones at the last 1500 for between 5-600.00.

The FN marked ones exploded in price after FNMI stopped importing, they're the same as the Browning marked. 5 or 6 years ago the FN's were being closed out at around $300. I wish I had bought up several. The Browning are around $700-800.

FN makes the Browning. There is no functional difference. The only real differences are cosmetic. As a BHP owner, I would not hesitate to buy a FN, but I wouldn't spend a grand for one.
