FN throws a huge wrench into Springfield Armory’s High Power dreams.

Thinking the SA-35 sales might suffer a bit.

Might be worth it if it's price competitive with the SA35.
I wouldn't pay double for ambi controls and some front strap stippling.


Edited: I scanned the QR code. No thanks.
Different barrel lockup (SIG cam style), a shoehorned in right side disassembly lever, non standard grips, "keyhole" muzzle pattern (whatever that is), minimal (if any) parts interchangeability with the extensive aftermarket, and what appears to be a giant hole in the slide where the recoil spring assembly is.
May kinda look like a Hi Power, but it ain't. FN has never made a bad gun, well maybe the FortyNine,

Interesting. Do I see an attempt at a thumbhole on the right side?

I had an opportunity to shoot a Ted Yost worked Hi Power yesterday. I'm ruined forever until I get one.

All they had to do was make an optic ready variant

They didn't understand the assignment.

IDK about a red dot.
There ain't a whole lot of material to mill off the top of that slide.

Could work tho.

unless one's intent is match-grade accuracy, why not just buy a 100% Belgian build High-Power from the 60' and 70's?

Nice job FNH. Like the finishes though.

IMO springfield is gonna run circles all around this, and i bet its gonna come with that FN pricetag too...no thanks
