Hey all. I know this is a Ruger forum, but many here have exhibited great knowledge of other brands too, so I thought I'd give an ask here.
One gun I've always meant to look into, and sometime contemplate buying has been the Browning Hi-Power in 9mm.
I've fired a couple of them, and found them to be a nice slim alternative to the chunky tupperware guns. (I also have a Glock 19C which I DO like much)
Today, I came across a nice looking one used for $449. It looks to have had little use, the bluing only has a couple very tiny (smaller than a hair) scratches, and the mags show very little use too. It came home with me.
My questions are:
1. Any idea as to the date of manufacture? (SN 245PN625XX)
2. The trigger seems pretty heavy. I've heard that removing the mag disconnect can improve the trigger pull. Is this easy, and advisable to do (paper-punching and bowling pins mainly)? If so, are there any online tutorials on doing this?
Thanks!
Oh, here's a pic of it:
