help FN High Power FAQ
Is the FN High Power the same pistol as the original Browning Hi-Power?
No. FN introduced the modern High Power as a redesigned 9mm pistol inspired by the historic Browning Hi-Power, but many components are not interchangeable with the older design.
How many rounds does the modern FN High Power magazine hold?
The standard modern FN High Power uses a 17-round 9mm magazine, increasing capacity over the classic Hi-Power's traditional 13-round magazine. Legal magazine limits may reduce the supplied capacity in some jurisdictions.
Did FN keep the original Hi-Power magazine disconnect?
No. The modern FN High Power omitted the classic design's magazine disconnect, which had prevented firing when the magazine was removed. FN also revised the trigger, controls, ergonomics, and takedown system.
How does the FN High Power differ from Springfield Armory's SA-35?
The SA-35 stays much closer to the dimensions and parts pattern of the traditional Browning Hi-Power. FN's newer High Power is a larger modernization with a 17-round magazine and redesigned internal components.
