Just got my August issue of the American Rifleman, and noticed a comprehensive article on the "new" High Power (not the original " Hi-Power").

The article isn't available yet online, but key take-home points are;
  1. No parts compatibility with the original,
  2. Dimensions are abit larger than the original,
  3. the new 17 rd mag won't fit in the original,
  4. Sig-like locking system,
  5. SS slide & barrel but cast alloy-steel frame,
  6. PVD finish,
  7. internal extractor,
  8. sight dovetails are 509 type,
  9. reversible mag release,
  10. no mag drop safety.
So, while there's an outwardly resemblance with the original, and FN differentiates from the original by spelling out the word "High" vs. the originals "Hi"; it's a completely different & modern-design handgun.

Again I think Sig's are overpriced also.

I see your point, however when a new design Camaro (insert any make or model) year comes out,

1. none of the parts are not interchangeable with the original
2. many dimensions are different from the original,
3. it might have an anti-lock breaking system that the original didn't have
4. different finishes might be available or not available,
5. different features are available or not available.
6. The frame, suspension components, etc
7. etc, etc, etc

So do you say " So while there's an outwardly resemblance with the original it's a completely different & modern-design car?" implying that it's not really a Camaro that it just looks like a Camaro. Or is it a modern designed Camaro? Food for thought. I think the new BHP is a modern version of the BHP and it has some welcomed changes. Things evolve over time. Unfortunately the price is too high. BHP Browning Highly Priced.

I’ll take a BHP over a Camaro any day of the week.
