The Brigadier pistol was developed to meet Canadian requirements for a service handgun in the aftermath of World War II.  It was based largely on the FN GP35 Hi-Power self-loading pistol of 1935, but scaled up significantly.  Whereas the Hi-Power used the 9 mm Para cartridge, the NAACO Brigadier used a new long-case .45" round of much greater power than the then-standard .45 ACP.  With a standard 230 gr bullet, the .45 NAACO cartridge could produce muzzle velocities of up to 1600 ft/s , or almost twice as fast as the .45 ACP.  In order to keep weight down, the pistol used an aluminium slide, but still weighed more than four pounds, unloaded.  Its box magazine could carry eight rounds of ammunition.  A removable trigger module allowed for a fully automatic configuration, complete with an attachable butt-stock.  This would produce a sub-machine gun configuration called the Borealis (never constructed).  Gunsmith Robert Herman and Designer Russell Sutherland spent a year developing the prototype.

It worked well but due to the war effort was found expensive for mass production and its weight defied the concept of a Light Rifle.
