![]() As it is, the magazine wont fall free from the gun, which slows reloads immensely. Some sort of extension to the grip frame, not necessarily a beavertail (like what S&W did to the old PPK), would have helped sell these guns, and so would have doing away with the bothersome magazine disconnect. Here were two things Daly could have altered to vastly improve the Hi-Power, yet they didnt bother. Would not fall with the magazine removed. Then we noticed the web of our hand overlapping the web-guard portion of the frame in back, a clear invitation to get bitten by the hammer. We thought it was more pleasant in the hand than a 1911s grip. The grip was big, thick, massive, and not for tiny hands. The gun was all steel but for the grip panels, which were checkered hard rubber or polymer, with just the right amount of friction. Those with serial numbers beginning with “HPM” were done by Magnum Research. Charles Daly HPs were assembled in the U.S. Browning magazines apparently work in the HP. The first thing we did was deburr the magazine so we would not cut our fingers while loading and handling it. Inside, some of the machining was on the rough side, but it all appeared to be sound workmanship. ![]() Externally we could not fault the guns workmanship or appearance in any way. In fact most custom Hi-Powers are refinished with non-glossy surfaces. Tactically, this overall dull finish is superior to that of the highly-polished Belgian guns, even if it doesnt look as pretty. The slide sides were brush-finished before bluing. The Daly HP was all matte blued but for the slide stop, safety and hammer. Each magazine would fit the well of the other gun, but neither would latch properly.Ĭharles Daly HP 9mm, MSRP $550, Street $350 A suitable loading aid would help immensely. We suspect many women will not like these two guns because of the extreme forces necessary to load their magazines by hand. In fact we found it to be very painful on the fingers, from sharp edges and high forces needed against powerful springs, on both guns. Loading the magazines for both guns was not easy. We tested both guns with Fiocchi 115-grain JHP, with American Eagle 115-grain ball, with Black Hills 147-grain ball, and with 115-grain JHP by Ultramax. We didnt much like running a DA against an SA, because we thought theyd never compete. As a Turkish gun, its price has come down drastically from around $650 to an MSRP of $449. It is now being made in Turkey, using Berettas machinery, and is sold under the Stoeger name (a Beretta subsidiary) as the Cougar Model 8000. ![]() The second test gun used to be made by Beretta as a smaller and lighter version of the 92, yet still is pretty much a full size DA/SA auto. Because of its recent discontinuation, we thought you might like to know what its all about while the Daly HP is still somewhat available, so we quickly came up with another high-capacity 9mm to test against it. Weve had a Charles Daly HP (Daly never calls it a Hi-Power on the guns markings or in the manual) on hand, waiting for a suitable test matchup. So if you could get a decent version of the Hi-Power 9mm single action for that amount, it might well be all the Hi-Power you need. The Daly HP commonly sells in the neighborhood of $350 on the street. Used Browning Hi-Powers go for $750 or so. Lots of moms use his tips, myself included, and they are golden.We just learned that Charles Daly has discontinued its HP model ($550 MSRP), a close copy of the Browning Hi-Power. He has some great, proven effective soothing techniques that you can use. Harvey Karp (or I think there is a DVD you can watch too). One other recommedation is to read "Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. If the doc knows about it, they can rule out other medical causes and ease your anxiety about it. Otherwise, just mention it to her doctor at the next well baby visit or sooner if you are worried about it. Maybe check those out if you haven't already. Does she gag on other things (bottle, breast, her hand), or just the paci? Is the paci maybe too big for her tiny mouth? The only paci my son would take was the Mam brand, with a flatter nipple. Or there might be more going on, considering you say she is pretty fussy in general. Not sure what you mean by her acting like she wants the pacifier, because most babies will act like they want to suck on just about anything you put in or near their mouth, it's just an urge they have. ![]() ![]() I wouldn't force it, some babies just don't do the paci. ![]()
