Key Features

- Flat Dark Earth PVD Finish – This durable PVD coating resists corrosion and wear while giving the pistol a low-glare, tactical look that stands up to heavy range use.
- 17-Round Steel Magazine – Each 17-round magazine feeds reliably, and you get two in the box plus a zippered ballistic range bag for transport and storage.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for sport shooters who want a modernized version of the classic High Power. If you compete in USPSA or IDPA, or just spend weekends at the range working on fundamentals, the FN High Power gives you a proven single-action platform with updated ergonomics and a durable finish.
