I wondered years ago when I was begging pistols to do the pistol portion of the small arms instructor course in Gagetown, why didn't they just purchase new Mk3 Hi Powers direct from Belgiumicon. That way our remaining parts would be useful. Our mags were the real issue, they'd been damaged and mandrelled out to shape again and some had lost their strength. Instead we messed around and FN and Browning quit making Hi Powers...
