- SHOT 2022 FN High Power
bit.ly/2CHLudt
The FN High Power was one of the first guns I wanted to get my hands on at Shot Show 2022.
There are a lot of questions about this gun, so I made a b line to the FN booth to get those questions answered.

FN saw Springfield having all the fun and decided to hop back in.
Lol too soon
Yeah at twice the price, typical FN
And I thought there was a reason to buy something from SA again.
@@lbcsvHellion maybe?
They couldn’t cut it that close. To be fair, FN is behind the power curve.
Feels like the return of Sherlock Holmes after "The Final Problem". Hi-Power was discontinued after 2017, but it again came back. Legendary firearm.
It's not the SAME firearm
@@SteveIgnat Yup, they even distinguishes that by the names: it's High Power, not Hi Power :)
i think the only reason the HP was dropped in the first place always boils around money.. Not enough people were buying them and they werent cheap either! I always saw them for around a grand maybe more new.
@@nonyabiz9487 Last couple years, yes. When I bought mine brand new in 2010, it was $750 (from CDNN, plus another $20 for the transfer). It was even a 75th anniversary model :)
@@SteveIgnat Well not entirely different also, as per the external design.
Funny how things go full circle. Smith and Wesson should bring back the 4506, 5906, and 4006 pistols to compete with these.
My vote would go to the 1076
I think the only two they’d be interested in releasing is the 5906 and the 1006.
@@DocMitchell69 I used to have the 4006 and the 645. Absolutely reliable and accurate. I only got rid of them because S&W no longer makes parts for them.
1006 please
@@DocMitchell69 There'd be enough people interested in stuff like the 457, too, I'm certain.
FN had the easiest job ever: Make a Hi-Power compatible with aftermarket/legacy parts, polish out the kinks from the original design and maybe adding a picatinny rail up front. All of that at a reasonable price.
Instead, we got a $1300 CZ-75 lol.
Sadly, even the CZ 75 B SAO exists lol
Bruh since when were FN guns ever "reasonably priced"? They're always priced premium
😂😂😂😂😂
And then you look at the CZ- TS 2 and wonder why would i buy the high power.
@@blacklilac1408 because CZ has a huge handle that cannot be concealed, whereas HP is wearable?
It's a nice gun , but for 1300 bones I'll go with a CZ Shadow or two 75's
I said the same thing before I seen this comment
CZ? mediocre... ya get what ya pay for everytime except maybe some of the Turkish guns.. high quality for cheap but people are too snobby to notice Turkish pistols are better quality than American made pistols and cheaper. sucks for them!
Sounds like they're trying to pick up the ball they dropped after Springfield ran with it 🤣🤣🤣
I want to see you range the SA 35 and FN Hi-Power in a comparison review. I was waiting for you to ask him about a possible optic cut version of the gun (not that it needs an optic) since everything is cut for an optic these days.
Yep, I would buy it with an optic cut. Old BHP’s had many problems and I sold mine due to crappy sights and poor blued finish and aweful hammer bite.
or mebbe see if it takes glock mags?........
I've got four of the Browning HP's. Three in .40 and one 9mm. Would NEVER get rid of any of them!
And with other 9mm High Powers , why would you get this one that is not compatible with the older mags? Would make as much sense as coming out with a new Colt 45 that doesn’t use the older 1911mags
i couldnt sell all mine quick enough! and made quite a lot on them. theres a sucker born every minute.... HP pfff... give me a break! one of the worst guns i ever had... worst trigger ever with a hammer spring made for Conan the Babarian and that thing rattled more than a maraca on Cinco da Mayo... over rated garbage! the new HP and Springfield Armory options made that original HP not worth talking about anymore and the price on them are gonna plummet just like all the snobs with the old Colt Pythons happened to them
That FDE looks great on this firearm.
I wish magazines where interchangeable with older model
These things look like a High Power in name only.
People: “How can I set myself up for failure”
FM: “Hood my beer 🍺”
Colion: "So tell about the motivation to come out with the Hi Power."
FN: *in Mr. Krabs voice* "Money!"
I hope S&W brings back the 5906 with all of the new interest in Hi Powers
I have a 5906 that was New Old Stock I will just stick with that instead of spending more money even though the f n does look cool
Me: dreaming of a Bren Ten
Would love to see the 5906 and 457 brought back.
@@neddistanz the 5906 was the first pistol I purchased once I turned 21. I kick myself for trading it off.
I was issued/carried a 3rd Gen 1076 for a while. Man, I wish I still had it. Stellar piece!
Notification squad. This gun doesn't make sense. It has no nostalgia appeal or compatibility with existing Hi Power parts, and it is $1,300 MSRP with no optics mount or accessory rail to compete with other 17 round full size handguns.
That is the problem I feel they face in the market. It is a bad hybrid of old and new tech. It won't appeal to those interested in a Hi-Power for historic/vintage reasons (and mag incompatibility), and won't appeal to modern gun enthusiasts as there are better metal frame guns (CZ, Sig, 2011s).
Exactly my point. Modernized to when? 1986 instead of 1934? Great, thanks. Pass.
Not digging the wide slide serrations, but it's nice to see the Hi-Power still around.
This is NOT a Hi Power. Not even close. They should call it something else. Maybe “Almost a Hi Power.”
High Power in name only. Nothing is interchangeable.
Yeah. Glad Springfield brought one out.
FN SHOULD NEVER HAVE stopped production.. just needed much better sights..
Better sights, delete the mag disconnect. An idea that was so good no one else used it. (Actually Smith and Wesson used it on their 3900, 6900, 5900 series, but LAPD ordered it deleted in their orders.) Keep the larger ambi safety. Delete the 2 piece brazed barrels to a one piec3 forged barrel, clean up the trigger pull, tighten the QC machining, change the spur hammer to a ring hammer. I don't care whether it is 13 rounds or 17 rounds.
@@ms.annthrope415 then you would have to charge 1300 dollars..
I'd rather have a CZ Shadow2
no one bought them because the American civilian market was full of whinny cheap skates so they ended it.. blame yourselves.. I SAID CHOKE YOURSELF!!!!
The reason all the old Hi Powers sat on the shelves was because of the price point. Seems that FN still hasn't figured this out.
they were good quality too.. too bad everyone was such a cheap worthless asso!!! let me get the cheap gun... something nobody should ever say when it comes to firearms but hey people are dumb so what do you expect
You have to pay for quality
I think it's more a case of your not figuring out that it's an FN we're talking about, not a Walmart Black Friday Special! And that 17 round magazine! If you are one of those that insist on having the old 9mm from way back when, then this looks like a pretty good weapon to shoot the old age pensioner rounds out of! It even has the funky new sight gizmos modern shooters insist will make them expert marksmen (and women)! FN showing it still has some tricks up its sleeve! However, I'd still not choose it above a Five seveN! No Sireee!
If your complaint about a gun is it’s price you’re in the wrong hobby
@@Freakincident They'll sit on the shelves right next to the Stainless PPK/S. They are old-school cool for sure, but not many are going to sell.
The battle of the gun companies is great for the customers. They compete on gun models, pricing, it keeps us at the gun store and on TH-cam for all of the great reviews.
I fell in love with the Hi Power some 50 years ago. I saw the Springfield version and thought I would like one. FN has them beat hands down and will be seaking one out when they hit the market.
Enjoy new Coke!
So did I, but eventually sold my Hi Power. If I was in the market for a handgun right now I'd definitely go for the FN Five seveN instead of the rejuvenated Hi Power! The old digits are not quite so strong any more and the Hi power had a kick like a mule. The Five seveN is a much more dignified lady, with a lethal sting! Price? Couldn't care less - mere detail. [It's like the old Rolls Royce punchline: " Fuel consumption, Sir? If you need to ask, you cannot afford a Rolls. Sir!" ]
SA - 35 looks much better.
I think I'd like to go for the Girsan MCP35 Hi-Power knock-off for around $500
good luck finding one... maybe if EAA actually had them in stock your boneheaded idea would be good and also eh... been there done that with the old HP. when you done one HP you done them all nothing special
Girsan is Turkish trash all they do is make cheap copies of firearms
Always great videos. Keep doing what you do.
This... is astounding and amazing. I need to get my hands on one, would absolutely love getting one of the first of these to maybe help change things and get my feet back under me.
*Colion Noir* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us the new FN. God Bless.
Sad day when FN makes a highpower less like a highpower than Springfields highpower. With double the price tag this is a super easy pass
Easiest call I’ve seen…….
Springfield's quality control is shit at best, unless you don't mind a brand new pre-rusted pistol
@@CaptainRon1913 I disagree with you completely. Even if what you are saying is true why would you ever buy a gun that has rust issues. I’d send that puppy back in a heart beat. Springfield has been putting out quality for a while now. Their 10mm is probably the best 10mm on the market. Their 1911s have been great. The hellcat has had the least amount of issues of all the pocket hi cap 9s besides maybe glock and the shield. FN has been very over priced for what you get in my opinion. The FNX tactical has cheap polymer and deforms in heat. MAGs get stuck. The 509 had striker issues and still they don’t recommend you dry fire them so they don’t break.
@@martina6212 I have had nothing but issues with the Hellcat, but besides that, their XDs are ok (dislike the grip and don't have one, but my dad does and he likes it and its run reliable, just don't like the grip), and the Hellion seems great, but I'm waiting on people to make review videos after 1000 and 5000 rounds have been put through it to see if its reliable and well made.
I would go with the Springfield what the hell were they thinking not true to the original
This is in my radar big time. Have a 1962 first gen High Power (internal extractor). I don't personally experience "hammer bite" with it. A few that have shot it have had it happen. I like what they have done with it.
It's not the same gun
Always love your videos Man U has inspired me with my guns I do own and looking into buying recently looking for fn 45 tactical
For $1,300 you’re better off with a CZ Shadow 2 in basically every capacity. That’s what I did, and you’re paying an excess $900 (on the High Power) for that “FN” to be engraved.
Shadow 2 is not a carry gun.
@@robertbiermann4666 I don't think the High Power is a carry gun either.
@@makotoyuki2199 Well I carried one for years as well as about 1M active duty people across the planet.
@Mike 😂
@@robertbiermann4666 Ok but that gun has been around since the 30s, and the 1911 since they 1910s so that’s not really a fair comparison. If people seriously carry 1911s in the civilian world I wouldn’t be surprised if someone carried a fully tricked out CZ-75 variant, since there’s plenty of people across the world carrying them both police, military and civilians.
Thanks for the sneak peak!!! It’s on my must have list.
I can get either one of these or I can get 2 Sa-35 for the same price or 4 of the Turkish Girsan clones. Why would I bother with a brand new HP skinned FN pistol with zero aftermarket parts instead?
Very nice handgun. Loving the 17 round mag. I will be looking into getting one of these.
Great video. Information straight from the source is always appreciated.
I suppose the Springfield SA-35 being released had nothing to do with it.
FN well come back huge fan. A definitely must buy. Awesome!
FN has such amazing products. My .45 tactical is one of my favorite platforms
I had to shave the mag catches a hair to get it to release the mags smoothly. Unacceptable for 1200$. This hi power is another overpriced BS gun that should be priced at 650
Love the HI-Power Great show! Thanks!
Love the show Colion . It's nice seeing firearms moving forward.
I'm glad to see firearms I grew up with returning to the market place I'm 63 years old the polymer pistols have their place but to me the old steal pistols seem to shoot more accurately and because of the weight less felt recoil making them more fun to shoot I currently own a cz75b omega great pistol.
So they left all the things that needed to be corrected from the original… SA made those changes and a superior gun
Didn't they say they corrected the issues that the OG had like a better grip that doesn't bite your thumb, more ammo, and a better slide removal system. What problems haven't been corrected? If anything, they missed out on giving it an Optics cut and a 1913 rail, so its barely been modernized, and is defiantly not at all worth 1k-1.3k. If they wanted to make a modern Hi-Power, it really needs a optic cut and 1913 rail, but even if it had it, 1k is fairly steep price.
@@PilotTed Opinion: Position of the safety is poor (it is back way too far). The dust cover is so smooth and curved that you can't anchor your support hand thumb (right handed) anywhere on the frame reliably without it sliding clean off the frame with every shot. It creates the naturally tendency to try to get your support thumb up higher which leads to your thumb either creating friction on the slide, or bumping the slide stop up, both of which create a stoppage. Better trigger and magazine capacity really are the only gains worth mentioning.... so congratulations, now you have a $1200 gun which might perform on par with a $700 CZ 75.
Love it!! A true classic...
Well done looking forward to purchasing…thank you
This is timely. I've been looking for a hi-power.
They should make a modernized version with light rails on the bottom and optic ready cuts on the top. Retro is cool too, but I want an actual modernized one
I’ve always wanted one and now they’re finally back!
So why should we buy the FN instead of the Springfield S35 at almost half the price?
Exactly. Equal quality too. They sell to the name buyers
If it doesn’t take other mags I’m not interested and that’s where they made the mistake I’ll buy the Springfield
nice now I want one!! I'll be waiting for your hands on range review!!
Awsome video looking forward to a new fn herstal highpower . Thanks
Just discovered your channel. Keep up the good work.
I love every gun FN comes out with. I'm sure this will be beautiful
Stainless model is definitely on my short list, especially since Springfield's version seems to be having some teething issues. Gonna wait a bit and see if FN comes out with an optics-ready version though.
what an eye candy
Great review, Colion!
Gonna be looking to upgrade my pistol collection, this looks like the perfect addition!
Shoot safe, shoot straight!
Pic rail dust cover for light and threaded barrel option in that FDE would make this perfect.
I’m waiting and watching for this firearm!
Springfield has one out & now F&N !
I’m not buying until I see both of them side by side!!! And I own a browning high power 9mm! I bought mine in 1976 !
Cool, will definitely put on my list to buy!
Between FN, Springfield Armory, and EAA; 2022 is shaping up to be the Return of the Hi Power.
Cant wait for your range review of the hi power.
I own an original and while it's not perfect, it's the one gun I just can't get rid of. I love shooting it, carrying and just showing it off. In nearly 50 yrs it's been the one gun I have never had a problem with.
That stainless one is absolutely beautiful. But do I want a Springfield variety or this improved version. Have to shoot them both I guess.
Nice. Wish the Moro wasn’t so high but the quality you get is outstanding
This is magnificent I’d love to see a head to head with FNH Hi Power vs the Staccato. Could you make that happen???
I bought a Browning Hi-Power in 1975 at an Army Rod and Gun Store in Germany for $181.00. I sold it to a fellow soldier, a helicopter crewman, for $125. Word got around; shortly after the sale my battery executive officer passed by and said, "Garrett, you idiot, I'd have given you $150". That pistol today is worth $1207.40.
And FN wants 1300 for a semi-copy.
Nice video. Been watching several vids on this. Love my PS90, FiveSeven, Scar17, and FNX45 Tactical. This will be added to the collection.
Always amazing products from FN
🤩 I’ve watched this video, so many times 👍
Yes... that is a lovely piece of hardware.
Shop owner as he passes the Hi-Power: “The clip holds 14 rounds, you expecting an army?”
Serpico: “No, just a division.”
Great video. THANKS
Have a Browning HP, polished blue adjust.sights. But my go to is a 1980 blue 6” Colt Python.Nothing like a magnum…but that’s just the Charles Bronson in me.
I have an effin' Hi-Power, which was made in 1968.
Love old school look of the Hi Power
Loved my Luger m81, copy of the high power, want this.
Thank you for the video, and thank you FN for a all metal lower
Great information
I prefer the Springfield SA-35 . It is more true to the original , in my humble opinion . The price is also a lot less .
But you can’t find them and if you do it’s $1,000 to $ 1,800. 6 stores in my are and none have received one.
@@dalerobbins4737
At my local gun shop the price is not that high . The main manager has ordered 20 of the SA-35 pistols and i am set to recieve one . I won't say what the agreed price is . I guess my local gun shop is less greedy than some of the others .
Thank you Dale for your kind reply !!
@@jameshobbs1104 let’s us know when you get one
@@user-xx5zl8dz1v I will let it be known how i like the SA-35 . My gun dealer tells me that it may take awhile before the pistols arrive at the shop , so patience is needed . I am willing to wait . I think it will be worth it .
I'd love an optics ready version of this.
Beautiful !
Loved my original hi power.
Great video.....the new FN LOOKS AWESOME 👍😁
Ty for the video
At $1369, half the cost is for the FN logo, alone.
Glad they fixed that sucky trigger! I bought a brand new Browning Hi-Power in 1973 or '74. It was absolutely beautiful but you couldn't pull the trigger with both hands. I shot it exactly 4 times and got rid of it. I have not wanted one since....until now.
I have a 1938 Belgian-made Hi-Power that was my grandfather's, and it's gorgeous. I don't know how I feel about this one - I'm left-handed and the original is SUPER righty so ambi controls are great... I don't care about no rail, and I'm fine with Iron sights, but a price of two CZ75's seems excessive. Market price will probably drop some to be the same as a SIG-P226, and I'm guessing build quality is similar, but won't know until they're widely available to shoot.
So I’m actually torn between this FN high power and the p226, care to weigh in?
Fulls size + a light rail and a carry version please. Either way I'll be picking one of these up for sure.
I love the looks of this. And the fact that it has modern control's
love the Video Colion what a thing of beautiful that pistol is, but im not gonna lie, im gonna be honest that Gold bar really got my attention, i always wanted a Gold bar or more
I’m leaving a comment and I am subscribed. Thank you sir.
As a fan and owner of a BHP I would have liked to see and hear more on the safety disconnect, hammer and how to take it down we saw a brief moment on the process.
CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE!!!
Reportedly, FN wanted the revive the venerated HP. So, what did they do? Basically built a totally new gun and hung the name Hi Power on it with a four digit price tag………just plain stupid. I’ve said for years, I don’t pay for names anymore. I’ll be buying the SA version.
And you'll be damn happy I'm betting by your decision. I'm going that way too.
Wait until they get the bugs worked out first. A few guntubers say they're failing bad after 800 rounds.
It was for extraction issues I’m almost sure. A new replacement extractor will sell (IF this is even a problem) and FN still gonna be overpriced
Its still a Hi power, most of it's features are the same, it just been modernized with modern ergonomics, a different style of take down, and more ammo capacity. I'm fairly disappointed it has no optics slot cut or a 1913 rail though, if they wanted to modernize the Hi-Power, they should have done that. If you already own a Hi-Power, there is almost no incentive to get this one, especially with its price point and the fact it only has slightly better ergo with 4 extra rounds. Not really worth 1000-1300 or what ever its actually going to go for in retail. I would rather go for the single/double action CZ that has the 1913 rail and is half the price.
@@PilotTed It's not a HI-Power, it's a High Power and has nothing to do with the original.
Love it
I still occasionally shoot my Belgian made Browning HiPower and enjoy every time I do . I bought that pistol new in 1971 , did a ton of hi quality work on it and it was my primary off duty carry gun into the 1990's. I've owned and sh I t a l I t of different pistols , but this will always be a keeper . Just seeing the new version makes me excited like a kid at Christmas . Can't wait for them to hit the market. If it shoots as good as it looks , I'll probably bite the bullet and get one . It seems that everything I did to my original HiPower in customization , has been already done to this pistol at the FN shop. Great video !!!
I sold my belgian BHP. Was just ok...but hammer bite, crappy sights and crappy blued finish said get rid of it. If they put a red dot cut on this I would buy it in stainless or good polymer coat.
Really cool they redid the High Power and think the changes are great.
Great pistol I love the half power.
I’m excited for this! I’m definitely going to be looking to get one! There just classic and sexy
I am a cz 75 fan. I am anxious to see how the new fn compares.
The girsan one is coming out with a rail and rmr cuts. Not gonna lie this looks like a rounded arcus 98
That's really nice! Tempting...especially for a steady diet of +P ammo. They didn't mention if it will be available in .40 S&W.
Hi there could you please do an independent comparison of the sig p365 spectre and the canik tp9 sf elite combat executive as well as video comparing all guns with gold barrels
