Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns FN's New Hi Power

Looks like its a completely different pistol; I doubt any parts would interchange, including magazines.

Not something I'm interested in, but I'm sure there are many here who are.

Buttugly. Looks like a Sig, an Astra, and something else had a weekend getaway that led to this. And I kinda doubt it does much more than fizzle with current market trends.

Well, at least they got rid of that damn magazine disconnect safety.

I doubt Springfield Armory is worried at all.

40oz? That's a chunk for an empty 9mm, even if it is 17+1.

I hope they chamber it for 30 super carry so people completely lose their schitt.

All metal. Probably a pleasure to shoot, not so much for daily carry.

I agree. That's why my old HP either lives in my top desk drawer at the office or gets shot for fun at the range. The polymer guns get actual holster time.

My daily carry for the last few months, an all-steel Commander-sized 1911 (Ed Brown Kobra Carry):



With the proper IWB holster and belt, you don't even know you're carrying it. All steel guns in that weight class aren't nearly the problem to carry that many make out.

Over the years, from the early 1980s through the present, I've gone very long periods of carrying all-steel 1911s. Not a problem.

PS They get dusty when carried. I should have applied the compressed air to it before snapping the shot, but I just pulled it out of its holster and plopped it onto the scale.

I carried an all steel 5" 1911 for about 30 years.

I've gone long stretches doing that, like five years or so. It's a non-issue with a good belt and holster. I daily carried my full sized, all-steel, Springfield TRP for that long.

Here it is. Doesn't look carried, because the Armory Kote finish just never wears.

They should offer one with light aluminum alloy frame. It is upgraded design, therefore, such offering would make a lot of practical sense.

Maybe left handed people will like it, I don't like the ambi garbage on the wrong side

Id rather have the Springfield.

Carried an all steel.Commander for about 20 yrs.
Had to change holsters due to back problems.

Like my P365 very much these days.
My back is usually screwed up so lighter is better.

I'm with you. The SA35 looks better

That has to be a misprint unless they made the grips out of lead. If it is not a misprint then FN really screwed up imho.

Interesting, but not inspiring. The weight doesn't scare me, although it's rather puzzling. It would have to come with a really good trigger and balance in the hand like a HiPower to get me excited. And it appears they still haven't figured out how to make a proper thumb safety. I'd not want to be stuck with that.

I'm not impressed. I'll stay with my T models.

All steel guns hard to carry? What a load of $h!T.

If they came out with a highly polished blue, I might look twice. Just to say I did.

The ergonomics of the original is one of the best out there.

Catering to the +P, high capacity 9mm shooters.

John M Browning and St. Peter shaking their heads and laughing.

my brother's neighbor and pal is a SA distributer. He tells me I can buy one from him at his cost. I think I will.
