Well I saw a really nice one today at the local Cabelas Gun Library for...wait for it....$1,400.00(!?) I guess if you want one bad enough then this is pretty bad!
I know part of this is the fact that Browning now has these out of production and the other part of it is that prices in the local gun market here are absolutely inflated. Much cheaper than the Nighthawk Custom Hi Power that I saw earlier today, which is my gold standard in a 9mm firearm and which could be yours for the paltry sum of $3,195.00. I think if I ever had to sell off mostly everything (again), this Nighthawk would be the first one I’d get to restore the collection.
I’m thinking $750.00 gets me a good Mk III project gun that I can do the trigger & sights on & have a great range shooter. If the one at Cabelas were priced reasonably it would have come home with me and would now be keeping company with the NIB hard-chromed BHP Practical that I bought in 2009 for under $400.00.
Anybody want to take a stab at what is a theoretical “reasonable” price for this HP Standard? ? BTW, the duly appointed Gun Library official wasn’t hearing any offers - LOL
