![]() ![]() When Germany invaded Belgium in 1940, the designers at FN fled to England with the designs of the hi Power and after much tortuous negotiation it was agreed that a production facility would be set up in Canada by the Inglis company. The French chose a different model, but it was adopted by the Belgians and was one of the most modern hand guns in service at the start of World War Two. The design was however developed and was ultimately ready for service by 1935. John Moses Browning started work on the pistol’s development but died before it reached its final iteration. The Hi Power was developed in the interwar period by FN of Belgium to meet a French Army requirement. I try not to do weapons posts too often as I don’t have an unlimited supply of different deactivated guns and I want to spread them out a bit, that being said it is a long time since we last looked at a firearm on this blog and it seemed about time we looked at the Hi Power. Observant readers may have noticed that in some of the posts on holsters over the last few years I have been using a Browning Hi-Power to illustrate how they work.
