Browning Hi-Power MARK III

John Browning, founder of the Browning Arms Company, who was the inventor of the semi-automatic rifle, over-and-under shotgun and semi-automatic shotgun established a company that has left its mark on the history of gun-producing with a wide range of gun models. The Browning company employs approximately 210 people at its Utah headquarters, including also research and some light manufacturing operations. Since the year 1897, when the first Browning’s gun was successfully made, millions of pistols, rifles and shotguns for military use, hunting or sports shooting have been designed and manufactured by the Browning company.

The Browning Hi-Power Mark III is a single-action, semi-automatic handgun chambered in 9mm and .40 caliber.  It is based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. The Browning HiPower Mk 3 is one of the most widely used military pistols in history. The Standard Browning High Power pistols are based on a single-action design. Unlike modern double-action semi-automatic pistols, the Browning Hi Power mk iii trigger is not connected to the hammer. The Browning HP Mark iii has a barrel length of 4.63 inches. The Browning HP mk3 has a great feature set: a receiver of machined steel with a black epoxy finish, a 4 5/8" barrel, high profile fixed sights. The Hi-Power MK3 offers an excellent design. Since the early 1990s it has been a little eclipsed by more modern designs that were often double-action and were manufactured using more modern methods than Browning’s Hi-Power mk3. This model remains in service throughout the whole world. In 2007, the MK1 version of the Hi-Power remained the standard service pistol of the Canadian Forces.
