Key Features
- Hammer-Forged Barrel with Target Crown — The 4.7-inch barrel is hammer-forged for strength and accuracy, and the target crown protects the muzzle crown during holster wear, keeping shots tight downrange.
- 17-Round Double-Stack Magazine (Two Included) — You get two 17-round magazines right in the box, giving you 34 rounds on tap for extended range sessions or competition strings without constant reloading.
- Fully Ambidextrous Controls — The slide stop, safety lever, and magazine release are mirrored on both sides, so left-handed shooters can run this pistol just as fast as righties.
- Interchangeable Polymer Grip Panels — Three different backstrap sizes let you dial in the perfect palm swell and trigger reach, making this High Power fit your hand like a custom gun.
- Single-Action Hammer-Fired Trigger — A crisp, consistent single-action pull gives you a clean break with every shot, ideal for precision work on steel or paper.
Who It’s For
This FN High Power is built for the shooter who appreciates a classic single-action platform but wants modern capacity and ergonomics. It’s perfect for range days, USPSA or IDPA matches, and plinking sessions where reliability and accuracy matter. If you grew up on 1911s and want a 9mm with twice the rounds, this is your pistol.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate hammer-forged barrel, generous 17-round capacity, ambidextrous controls, easy takedown for cleaning, stainless finish resists rust.
- Cons: The single-action trigger requires a manual safety to be engaged for carry, and the polymer frame may feel lighter than all-steel competitors — a personal preference for some.

FAQ
Is the FN High Power compatible with standard Browning Hi-Power magazines?
No, the FN High Power uses a redesigned magazine that is not interchangeable with older Browning Hi-Power magazines. Stick with the included 17-round magazines or buy factory FN replacements.
Can I mount a red dot on this pistol?
The standard model does not come optic-ready, but aftermarket milling services can add a red dot footprint if you prefer a dot over irons.
What holsters fit the FN High Power?
Because the frame and slide dimensions are unique, look for holsters specifically molded for the FN High Power. Many kydex makers now offer models for it.
Is the stainless slide easy to maintain?
Yes, the brushed stainless finish resists corrosion and cleans up easily with a light solvent and cloth. Just avoid harsh abrasives that could scratch the surface.
