Good news - kinda.
Seen over at Mad Ogre’s place:
The Browning High Power remains in the 2008 Catalog. This is interesting because I had been told that FNH was ending production of the High Power all together. I’m glad to see they haven’t.
You know, the Hi Power might sell better if Browning actually put even the slightest effort into promoting it. As I said before, there’s no advertising, no promotion of any kind, no new models (aside from this abomination), no factory night sights, no stainless guns. Their entire marketing effort consists of one page in the back of the annual catalog. That’s not the way to sell guns.
“That’s not the way to sell guns.”
It’s the way to avoid selling a gun that’s still a tiny bit profitable thanks to it’s labor intensity, instead selling one that gets flung together like a toaster and raking in the big profits.
