Tam has a review of the new FN High Power.
I'll stick with the classic Hi Power, but not out of a sense of nostalgia. I live in a state that bans high-capacity magazines, so a classic Hi Power means having three rounds less than a classic magazine. The new High Power's magazines hold seventeen rounds; so it's a bigger, heavier gun for carrying ten rounds in its magazine.
But, to be frank, I'm just going with a 1911 with Wilson ETM magazines, since the magazine limits negate the "more BBs" advantage of a 9mm.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Nothing wrong with .45s they may be old, slow, and fat, but they get the job done!
ReplyDeleteThis is where I get lost:
ReplyDeleteThe Browning Hi-Power is a single-action, semi-automatic pistol available in the 9×19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W calibers. It was based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at FN Herstal. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. FN Herstal initially named the design the "High Power", which alludes to the 13-round magazine capacity, almost twice that of other designs at the time, such as the Luger or Colt M1911.
During World War II, Belgium was occupied by Nazi Germany and the FN factory was used by the Wehrmacht to build the pistols for their military, under the designation "9mm Pistole 640(b)".[7] FN Herstal continued to build guns for the Allied forces by moving their production line to a John Inglis and Company plant in Canada, where the name was changed to "Hi Power". The name change was kept even after production returned to Belgium.

In this country, “Hi Power” = P-35, aka GP-35.
ReplyDelete“High Power” is the quasi-lookalike FN now makes.
