Browning Hi Power 15 round mag?

Lancerdad34 · September 4, 2020, 04:26 PM

I did not even know until recently that there was a 15 round mag for the Hi Power. I see a lot of places online and want to make sure I shop at the right one. Can any of you recommend where to go?

Thanks,
Brian in MI

Mec Gar is the best European magazine, Greg Cote has good prices and delivery.

+1 to what Jim said.

I hear CZ75 mags can be modified to work in the BHP.

+1 on Mec-Gar. They supply magazines to Sig and Beretta.

I have Mecgar 15 and 21 rounders that run 100%.

I bought three Nickled MecGar 15 round magazines for my chromed Hi-Power. They worked great for several matches and practices. I traded off the gun and have the magazines left. Good magazines for sure.

Thanks for all the replies! My next question is a better ( Bigger) safety. I have been looking on this page.

Based on the reviews, I'd go with the single lever one. Plus, in my opinion, it would look righter.

I’ve had both the Cylinder and Slide Wide Target and Extended safeties. I liked the Extended much more. I’ve only ever had the single side.

Bad information. Especially as there is no direct relation between the BHP and the CZ series of guns.

When you have the option of buying a new magazine built for a particular gun going that route is the best. Trying to jerry-rig something as important to a gun as the mag is is a rough and unnecessary road.

Inglis mags, not likely available Stateside, have been 14 since 1944. Bought a 20 rounder eons ago at a gun show. No idea who made it or what it was intended for, but it works. And it's horribly evil.

I prefer the stock FN ambi safety levers.
