FN Brings Back The High Power

[66PonyCar]

FN has brought back the High Power. They must have seen the favorable reception that the Springfield Armory SA-35 received. They did away with the magazine disconnect. Comes in stainless, black and FDE. Has a 17 round magazine. Also almost twice the price as the Springfield.

The Beretta High-Power is looking good! I think it has even more levers than the 92.

Wonder if I can use the 17 rounders in my in my real HP.

The hell is the thing on the right side forward of the presumably ambi slide release? Takedown something?

 

[Knobgoblin]

Ooooof.

I was excited until I saw the sand colored one on the bottom.
Why did I keep scrolling?

No more fde please.

Loving the rear sight.

They were released within six weeks of each other, so they were in the pipeline a while simultaneously. FN moved production from Portugal to SC so that was (maybe?) part of the downtime and re-design.

SA went with perfecting a classic MKII HP with all subtle common changes included. FN went for a more tacti-cool flash gun at a much higher sales point. I don't think they are going to compete head-to-head. I think the SA-35 will steal from 1911 sales - I know it did in my case.

Still waiting to find an SA-35 at retail. Seems many of them are ending up on GunBroker.

I really have no need for yet another 9mm pistol, but man, I think that stainless one looks GREAT.

 

[Oro]

Ooooof.

Yeah that's nasty, same reaction here.

I'd prefer the SA rear sight be sloped like a conventional Novak vs. the tac rack, as it would be more attractive. The tac rack is really uneccesary with the captured front recoil spring - actually better to do it that way. But the U-notch is effective and not worth changing it IMO. It's a standard novak cut according to SA so easy to swap if desired.

Built in toenail clipper and bottle opener.

Built in toenail clipper and bottle opener.

Did someone say "bottle opener?" Because I have an app for that:

 

[Knobgoblin]

Makarov and Galil too

 

[No_Regerts]

Notice this is not a "Hi Power". It's a "High Power". The name is disingenuous as the two guns are pretty different.

I had one of them once, but I think she was born in 1986.
