Where can I get one of these newer FN hi powers. I like the uncluttered slide with just the FN Rollmark.
How much should I expect to pay for one? |
|
Hi Powers seem to come over in batches, often times only once a year. Depending on where we are on the import cycle it can be a wait to find certain variations.
Otherwise, cruise gunbroker, gunsamerica, gun shows etc. This may be a tough one to find. I don't think all that many FN marked guns were imported. It's possible they were a one time deal. |

I have had much difficulty locating a new FN Hi Power 9MM here in the United States...partially because Fabrique Nationale USA stopped importing their version about 5 years back...I was able to locate a NIB FN Hi Power in .40S&W with the SFS from Cabela's in the last month (they had them on sale) but no 9MMs I could locate after they searched all their US stores...as for Browning marked models...easy to find right now...if you don't mind paying a premium, gunbroker or gunsamerica has them from time to time...they used to sell for a couple to few hundred less than the Browning marked one's (and they're the same pistol made at the same place) but because they are harder to find now...at least the 9MM versions...expect to pay current Browning prices near $1000...

Supposedly there will never be another run of "FN" marked HP's (at least that's brought into the states). The last run of those to hit the US ended up getting clearanced by CDNN with the claim that only Browning marked HP for now on. Kind of a shame as I do prefer the FN marked models too even though some uninformed people think it's a knock off because it doesn't say Browning on it 
I just wish I had bought 2 when CDNN had them. $400 for a NIB HP is a steal!!
