Not sure if FN was at the NRA convention or not but if so did they have the new FN High Power on display . If so what are your thoughts or impressions. Any rumors on release date ? Thanks

Not a fan. At 40oz, 8 heavier than its predecessor. Juice isn’t worth the squeeze for me. Improvements not withstanding

Put a light rail on that fat pig and it should be a good nice nightstand gun.

I hope to get one next year. It will not be a financially inconsequential purchase.

Yes FM was at the event

They had a nice large booth.

I have never been a fan of the High Power and only glanced at it. Fit and finish looked excellent

I actually went there to handle their new 10MM pistol

Do tell more. I am finding nothing of the sort.

Yes, I'd also like to more about that new 10MM. I'm guessing that colt_saa meant to say "FN" NOT "FM"(from Argentina).

I saw it there and was pleased.
I always liked it and always wanted one.
Heavy guns don't bother me, I wouldn't CC a high power but would take it to a conflict if necessary.

have absolutely no need for one and not a big fan of the look even though I wanted one so bad back in the early 70's after reading the book Serpico...
but there is a good possibility I will buy one of the FN's ... I have a thing for spending money locally.

There were several high powers at the show.

They are bigger than a hi power, and heavier. I do not know what they did with sight and grip compatibility. It almost definitely will require proprietary leather.

For a 17 round single action 9mm with a thumb safety, there are other options I would go with first, like a few cz’s, a staccato, a safetied M&p 9, etc

Is this gun heavy as in "I'd feed it a steady diet of +P+ and just change the springs regularly on an accelerated schedule" heavy or is it just heavy?
