Default FN Highpower

I saw a quick blurp on my phone that FN announced at the Shot Show that they are bringing back the Highpower. A little competition from Springfield. It is time to get back the real metal pistols.

A number of us have already shredded this gun in this thread.

Brand new production FN High Power...very interesting

IMHO it is a metal FN509 without the benefits of a rail. Oh, and it is seriously porky weight wise.

Not as porky as the all-steel Beretta 92X Performance which weighs in at a whopping 47 oz+ unloaded. The thing is a brick.

Beretta 92X Performance
