    Red Dots and the Browning Hi-Power

    I've been toying with putting a red dot on my Hi-Power but I have run into a problem of finding an adapter plate made for it. I am looking for an aluminum plate that will drift into the rear sight dovetail. Any of you guys have any thoughts on who might have an adapter plate made for a Browning Hi-Power? I appreciate any help!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Must people concidere a red dot on a HP a terrible wrong. Another forum talked about using an 1911 mount envolving drilling and tapping a 4/40 . No pictures so do not know what mount. GW

    May want to ask Cylinder & Slide about it. Far as I know, they have more experience with the Grande Puissance than anybody else.

    C&S can do BHP work that no one else can do!

    I know you can get plates for 1911s as I have a red dot on a 1911.
    Nothing wrong with it at all, it is not a permeant modification, so what could be wrong.

    I know that Bill Laughridge has retired, but last I checked (1-2 weeks), they seem to still be open.
    Service members, veterans and those concerned about their mental health can call the Veterans Crisis Line to speak to trained professionals. To talk to someone, call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, send a text message to 838255 or chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat.

    If you or someone you know might be at risk of suicide, there is help. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, text a crisis counselor at 741741 or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

    They are still open under new ownership. I ordered some parts from them a couple of months ago.
