    Question AIM has Belgian Hi-Powers

    http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.as...e6aba-18942077


    From what I usually see Hi-Powers selling for this seems like a pretty good price but I know nothing about this model.

    Also these Israeli police trade-ins.

    Aim is listing them as Mk2 but I thought the MK2 has the safety on the left side only, and the Mk3 has it on both sides? Not my center of expertise but pretty sure on this.

    Regardless $440 is not a bad price for a Belgian Hi-power.

    The Mk2 had ambidextrous thumb safeties, nylon grips, 3-dot sights, and a throated barrel. The Mk3 had a firing pin safety and a black epoxy finish. The main distinguishing (visual) feature of the Mk3 is the absence of the water drain hole below the muzzle on the forward face of the slide.

    Very nice! I sure do love hi-powers.

    I'm tempted, but if I manage to convince myself to spend any money right now it will probably be on a Finnish M-39....
