Check GB for an Israeli trade in, CDIsales has a bunch for around $469.  For around $250 you could probably find a Kareen or FEG.

Best pointing, best shooting and most accurate semi auto pistol I have fired. It runs like a thoroughbred as well, just as reliable as my Glocks and just as much capacity for the size (it is actually smaller than a G19 in several dimensions).

And some REAL ones.

I never mentioned plastic, but that's certainly a proven material that reduces weight quite a bit, as well as production cost.  And most modern guns of similar size are of higher magazine capacity.  And feed ramps with modern hollowpoints in mind, and an accessory rail.

I own a BHP, but it's like a 1950's car.   Cool to look at, but when you're used to power steering and air conditioning, the 1950's car loses a lot of it's initial glamour and is not as nice a daily driver.

  How is a modern, reliable handgun better than an older design, reliable handgun? Because it's plastic? That's an opinion.

With the C&S wide trigger (removes the mag safety), hard sear and hammer, the trigger is excellent at 4.5 pounds.
The Novak sights round it out nicely.

Huh? It is true there is no rail, if that is important to you. It is also a bit weighty, which actually helps the shooter.  As for the rest, you couldn't be more wrong.

Love my MkIII; it's reliable with everything I've tried in it and super accurate.  Everyone I've let shoot it liked it and shot it well too.  I swap it out for the 1911 and carry it on occasion.  

For those whining about the mag capacity, Mec-gar makes flush fitting fifteen round mags as well as twenty round mags that are both reliable.

Does reality make you sad?

  Far from reality.  Nothing wrong with a single action trigger, not to mention fine ergonomics, excellent reliability, thin grip profile, and 15 rd aftermarket mags. Your fail is your burden, not mine.

You can buy crusty trusty BHP's from Aim every now and again.

I have one that is so beat to shit that I originally bought it intending to strip it down and refinish it with a modern coating, but it is so reliable and pleasurable to shoot I'm afraid that if I change anything, I'll ruin what is a fantastic little gun.

That said, you forgot to mention how much softer the recoil is from the BHP than from anything else. Every other 9mm pistol has a bit more snap than the gentle push of the BHP. It's like shooting a 22lr and the only pistol that I have no reservations of handing a newer shooter thinking they'll get scared by the recoil.

I love Hi-Powers; but they are certainly more maintenance intensive than a modern polymer pistol.  The only thing they have left going for them is slimness and great ergonomics.  In every other way, they are like a 1967 Camaro - sexy and beautiful to look at; but likely to get its ass kicked by a modern sedan.

I am a huge fan of the HP's.  So I'll admit to some bias.

I've got 4 of these things from1969 through 1994 and put many thousands of rounds through them.  Never...not once, a misfeed or malfunction with any kind of ammo;  FMJ or HP.  So reliability is one of its strongest attributes.

I will admit that the trigger needs some work to improve.  The only issue I've had is with the trigger reset.  Even with an upgraded return spring, I've had a few issues when shooting in competition and trying to get really quick follow-up shots off.

Got to disagree here.  I've owned and worked on some bad (read:factory) BHP triggers and the SA mode of the 3 you mentioned are far, far more usable than a heavy BHP trigger.  The last MkIII I worked with had a 10 lb pull until I removed the mag disco, which dropped it down to 9 pounds.  The last one I looked at buying, a beat up surplus MkIII from AIM, had a pull about the same.  Even when they've been fully worked over, the reset is long and weak.

please elaborate the BHP  is vastly superior to the beretta which is no crappy pistol, the only place a BHP has been surpassed is in weight and mag size most of the time a BHPwill be slimmer than the wondernine as far as trigger a high powers trigger is great compared to any clunky striker fired pistol.  and it is much easier to field strip and clean than any modern polymer gun.

In trigger pull alone the 92 whips the MkIII and with the use of a D spring, blows away any factory HP.   The HP is slimmer but you pay for that in other ways, namely frame life (with forged frame), tight ass magwell with slow reloads and grips that twist around a single screw unless very well bedded.

There are any number of modern guns that take down as fast as, or faster than the HP so that is a wash.  I have several plastic fantastic striker guns with triggers that are far superior to anything but maybe a Yost or CS HP, and even then, I bet the reset would still be better.

One was brought to me by a friend due to its rigoddamndiculous pull.  The other was on a shelf at a shop, though I concede the likelihood that it was only still there due to its insanely crappy pull.   What does yours gauge at?   The ones I own were around 6-7 lbs unmodified.  I was able to get my FEG to about 4.5 with spring adjustment and sear stoning.  With a good hard sear and something like Warner's true radius jig, things will go a bit better.

Other used guns I've handled in shops tended to range from 7 to 5 lbs, as a half assed estimate.  This includes a Capitan model that was virtually NIB, which I owned briefly recently.  I haven't handled many new HPs lately because who wants to pay $900 for one?

I'll put a gauge on it and let you know. It is definitely lighter than any other pistols I have fired (admittedly, probably only a dozen different types). More importantly, it breaks the cleanest. It is a beat to shit Izzy surplus FN MK3.

The BHP is a good pistol, but it has been eclipsed by modern guns. It'd be cool if FN made one with a rail, though. I carried one for awhile, but it was a tad heavy. I now prefer my G19 that has had a grip reduction. It's lighter and has a better trigger. I will not get rid of my BHP, though. It's a beautiful classic that will still get the job done.

I love the Hi-Power but the mag safety and three-step trigger system are abominations. I have never owned or shot a Hi-Power that had a better trigger than pretty much any modern service pistol, except maybe the M&P. Feels great in the hand, trigger sucks. Just like the M&P. Actually, now that I think about it, the M&P is really nothing more than a modern Hi-Power.

The mag safety can be removed, so that's a non-issue. As for the trigger pull, well, even after some work, it's still not that great. However, if you shoot it enough, you will get used to it. The biggest gripe I had is the weight and lack of rail for a light. My BHP had been super reliable and shoots well, which is why I will keep it.

For those that say the trigger sucks.  You don't know what your are doing.  It not that hard to get a 4-5lb trigger with no creep and crisp break.  Only thing you can't get rid of too much is the take up and reset.

This one is my best shooting HP.  Stupid easy to hit what you are aiming at.

Bought an FN off the EE last Fall.  Nothing fancy, a surplus 1977 'C' w/ a new parkerized finish.  Replaced the springs with new Browning springs and bought 4 more Mecgar mags.  1.5K rounds later, I decided it will REQUIRE new sights.  The 1/2 moon and notched rear are too much for these old eyes.

It will be going to Novak soon.

But love this gun.
Easy to shoot, accurate, and very little recoil.  It just feels like a part of my hand.

My Father brought this 1964mfg. T-series back from Vietnam as a "War Trophy" in 1972. It was taken off a VC Infiltrator at Tan Son Nhut Air Base who no longer had any use for it. This BHP sports a Chinese re-blue on the metal and varnish on the grips and came with one "JI" marked magazine. It was also the first handgun I ever shot.
