#BROWNING HI POWER MANUAL#
A manual safety switch was originally located on the left side of the frame. It was referred to as HP-DA and is still produced by FN Herstal. All variants of this pistol have a single-action trigger, except the one produced in the 1980s when FN Herstal developed a version with a double-action trigger. Over time its production and mechanics were simplified and became available to the wider public. Originally the Hi-Power pistol was quite expensive, as it required precise manufacturing.

Additionally, there were models chambered for 7.65×21 mm and. The original Hi-Power military model is chambered for 9×19 mm ammunition. Sometimes it is used in various modified forms. Over the years, it has been used in a number of pistol designs. This locking system proved to be very successful. The barrel and slide lock and move back together for a short distance. During firing, locking lugs on the barrel mate up with those on the slide. The Browning Hi-Power is a short recoil-operated pistol with an improved locking system, and John Browning first developed that. That led FN Herstal to reintroduce FN Hi-Power and offer some new features such as a fully ambidextrous slide lock, simplified takedown method, enlarged ejection port, reversible magazine release, wider slide serrations, different colored finish offerings, and 17-round magazines.

These new Hi-Power clones began competing with each other by offering new finishes, enhanced sights, redesigned hammers, beveled magazine wells, improved trigger, and increased magazine capacity. From 2019 to 2022, with new Belgian Hi-Powers no longer being built, new clones were designed by various firearm companies to fill the void, including GİRSAN, TİSAŞ, and Springfield Armory, Inc. The pistol was in production until 2018 when FN Herstal decided to stop production after 82 years of excellence. Many modern pistols have some design features “borrowed” from this design. Its design inspired a number of copies and clones.

The Browning Hi-Power is one of the most influential pistols ever made. Unlicensed copies of this pistol were produced in China, Hungary, and possibly elsewhere. Its production was licensed to Argentina, Canada, Indonesia, and possibly some other countries. Since it appeared, Browning Hi-Power was constantly improved. In the years coming, Hi-Power was adopted by Belgian Law Enforcement and many other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. Next year, he was recognized and adopted by the Belgian Army, which led to the mass production of the pistol during the same year. A few years later, in 1934, Hi-Power was complete and ready for production.

The design was acquired by a Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Belgium, and their engineers, led by Dieudonne Saive, finalized Browning’s design. Fabrique Nationale Herstal Hi Power chambered in 9 mm (Photo: XY)
