They're stock. Been pretty much the same since '35. I want to keep the one I bought brand new last year pristine. The one on the right is the used one I just got to use as a range queen. I think I want to put something fancier on them but i'm not sure what.

Marble would be sweet.

They're composite imitation. I've considered "ivory" too.

I would constantly have to be on the lookout for them. Just not worth it to me. I might even just do black wood.

@silverbullet2893 Finally got my second one! Gonna wait a week to pick up the other one though so I don't have to do the ATF bull.

Those aren't scratches either. Just did a full cleaning and the plastic bag on the lid left prints in the oil.

The trifecta is almost complete, baby. Can't wait.

I hear there are plenty of Israeli surplus ones to be had.

Aim Surplus used to get a batch from time to time. Haven't seen any in a while. Those things have been through hell though.

Those would be OK as shooters but I wouldn't pay much for one. If you see one at a good price grab it but too many sellers are trying to get a premium price for them.

I had the chance to get one last year but I decided to just save my money wait for what I really wanted.

A bit dated technology but not bad for 80 years old. I like them but like a pistol with a smoother trigger pull. I might grab one if I saw it cheap but wouldn't go out of my way to find one.

Excluding surplus guns, was never such thing as a cheap Hi-Power. And never will be now that they are out of production. The Python Effect.

What’s the one I see on on sale real cheap all the time. Hi- point maybe?

Python is like Apple fans. Pay too much for the name.

Hi-Power shouldn't cost that much. Millions of them made. I agree you should pay more for a better commercial grade pistol but not for military surplus.
