What you have is a FEG P9. They were a very faithful copy of the pre-Mk II FN Hi Power and have 100% parts compatibility with their FN made counterparts.

The later 1st generation P9M had a 1911 style slide release, larger 3 dot sights and an extended safety. With the exception of these parts and the slide release cut in the slide they also have 100% parts compatibility with their FN made counterparts.

FEG 1st Gen P9M. Note the lack of a half moon slide release lever and the extended safety:




The 2nd Gen P9M looks like a Hi Power but it isn't. It uses a S&W locking system and you can tell the difference externally, by the lack of the oval from the cross bolt on the right side of the frame above the trigger.

KBI imported all three models above as well as the FEG FP-9, which had a ventilated rib under the PJK-9HP model number,

TGI imported the three models above as the "P9M".

Those mis-marking practices create a lot of confusion about what is what.

KBI also imported parts from FEG and contracted first with Dan Wesson and then later Magnum Research to assemble the "Charles Daly Hi Power". This avoided the need for import marks and these are arguably some of the best non FN made Hi Powers available. KBI lost money on every of the 3000 they made. These were P9s with extended safety levers and the slides cut for Novak sights. The Dan Wesson pistols were cut for Novak Browning sized sights, while the Magnum research assembled pistols were cut for 1911 sized Novak sights.


The FEG P9R is a clone of the S&W Model 59 but the P9R model number often gets confused with the FEG hi Powers, because it was made by FEG. The P9R magazines are not compatible with any of the Hi Powers.

The FM Hi Powers were actual Hi Powers made under license in Argentina, including final inspections by FN staff, from 1969 through 1989. When the license expired FM started making their FM 90 pistols which are easily differentiated from the earlier FN licensed pistols by the 1911 style slide treatment. They were pine pistols initially but quality declined in fit and finish. They followed up with the FM 95 in 1995.

I'd happily take home one of the actual FM Hi Powers, but I'll pass on the FM 90 and later pistols.

The Israeli Hi Powers that are being imported (less now than before) are a mix of:
- FN Hi Powers bought under contract by Israel;
- FN Hi Powers purchased surplus, or captured in combat;
- counterfeit Hi Powers made by FEG to make it less obvious they were violating various arms embargoes (these all have FN roll marks, but B prefix 5 digit FEG style serial numbers);
- FEG P9s made by FEG and sold to Israel; and
- "Kareen" marked Hi Powers assembled in Israel from parts supplied by FEG.
