Key Features
- Hammer-forged barrel – This 4.70-inch barrel is target-crowned for better accuracy at the range. Why it matters: You get tighter groups shot after shot, without needing a custom barrel.
- PVD slide finish – The corrosion-resistant coating protects against sweat, moisture, and holster wear. Why it matters: This pistol holds up to daily carry and range use without rust spots or finish fading.
- Ambidextrous slide stop – Left- and right-handed shooters can drop the slide using either thumb. Why it matters: No fumbling or adjusting your grip, especially under time pressure.
- Interchangeable grip panels – Swap the backstrap and side panels to fit your hand size. Why it matters: A proper grip reduces recoil and improves control, making the gun shoot flatter for you.
- Includes two magazines and a range bag – Comes with two 15-round mags and a zippered ballistic bag. Why it matters: You can hit the range right away without buying extra gear.
Who It’s For
This FN High Power is built for the range shooter or sport shooter who wants a full-size 9mm that’s accurate and easy to shoot. It’s also a good fit for new gun owners who want a reliable, low-recoil pistol that feels natural in the hand. If you’re upgrading from a compact or subcompact, this gives you a longer sight radius and a more comfortable grip.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Excellent accuracy from the hammer-forged, target-crowned barrel.
- Pro: PVD finish is tough and resists corrosion better than standard blued or nitrided finishes.
- Pro: Interchangeable grip panels let you dial in the fit without aftermarket parts.
- Con: The trigger pull is a bit heavier than some competition-style pistols—around 5.5 to 6 lbs per FN specs. Some shooters may prefer a lighter trigger for precision work.

FAQ
Is the FN High Power compatible with aftermarket holsters?
Yes, but it uses a proprietary frame shape different from the original Browning Hi-Power. Most major holster makers (like Safariland, Vedder, and Blackhawk) offer models specifically for the FN High Power. Check holster fit for your specific model before buying.
What magazines does this pistol use?
It uses FN High Power specific 15-round magazines. They are not cross-compatible with other Hi-Power or 1911 magazines. Two 15-round mags come in the box, and additional mags are available from FN or aftermarket suppliers like Mec-Gar.
Can I mount a red dot on this pistol?
The standard model does not come with an optics cut. However, FN offers an optics-ready version (the High Power Optics Ready) if you want to mount a red dot. For this model, you would need to have the slide milled by a gunsmith or use a dovetail adapter plate.
