==Summary==
The Browning Hi Power is a single-action, semi-automatic handgun available in the 9mm and .40 S&W calibers. It was based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. The Hi-Power is one of the most widely used military pistols in history, having been used by the armed forces of over 50 countries. After 82 years of continuous production, the Hi-Power was discontinued in 2017 by Browning Arms, but it remained in production in some countries, under license.
In 2022, FN announced that they would resume production of the Hi-Power. The 2022 FN High Power incorporated numerous brand 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. Contrary to popular belief, the new FN High Power, while resembling the original Hi-Power, is a completely different design from the original, with one of the noticeable details being the lack of Browning-style locking lugs.

Weaknesses: Initially the hammer would painfully strike the web between the user's thumb and index finger, this is easily fixed with a custom hammer, the 2022 model no longer has this problem. Initially the safety release was very hard to release and re-engage due to the safety's shaft being under the hammer's pressure, later models fixed this. The original Browning model had 13-round capacity magazines, which, while being of sufficient capacity at the time of its inception, is now considered subpar for most modern pistols, but the new FN model now offers 17-round capacity magazines as standard.
