Three new models are available at the FN High Power's launch, giving enthusiasts the choice of a black PVD-finished gun, stainless-steel or FN's unique flat dark earth. The guns are built on an all-steel frame, topped by a steel slide containing a 4.7" cold-hammer-forged steel barrel with an enlarged ejection port and a modernized barrel lockup to enhance reliability with modern ammunition. Unloaded, the all-metal gun weighs 40 ozs. While the gun retains classic touches, like the slide profile, slide release and tapered dust cover, many areas of the pistol have been touched to bring the High Power into the 21st century.
Gone are the single-side controls, and in their place is a bilateral slide-stop lever and thumb safety. The FN High Power also features a single-side, reversible magazine-release button. Additionally, the 13-round magazine capacity of the original High Power is a thing of the past. FN America skipped over the 15-round capacity seen in most of today's clones and outfitted its new High Power with a 17-round magazine.
