No Hi Power on Browning DVD 2008 Catalog

[triggerjerk]

Kinda strange.
I just got a 2008 Browning catalog on dvd.
No BHP on it. Website shows it though.

Weird.

After you mentioned it, I checked my copy that I had just picked-up from a local dealer. You're right, no HP listed/shown at all on the DVD. I also find that peculiar, especially if they are still featuring it on their website.

Perhaps prepping for a model drop in mid-year? :dunno:

I hope not, but it's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense at all.

They've been talking about dropping it for a few years now; maybe the time has finally come. If so, that's really unfortunate.

It is in the "paper catalog" 2008

A good sign! :thumbsup:

Ratcheting up rumors of the BHP's imminent demise, then trickling another batch to us a year or so later, seems to be sort of a regular thing with Browning/FN for the last decade or so. Since new ones are retailing at what, over $800 now, I only shop for them in the used, no-paperwork market.

I agree, this is not the first time that it appeared that the BHP was going to go away...

However in a world of plastic pistols I am wondering how much longer there will be enough interest to justify manufacture of the gun. I think it likely that day will come at some point. Maybe this is it.

I had a "backup" BHP that I almost sold several years ago to fund another gun, exactly which one escapes me at the moment so obviously it wasn't all that big a deal, eh? I'm very happy that I held on to it!
