The Browning Hi-Power is a single-action, semi-automatic handgun available in 9 mm and .40 Smith & Wesson calibers. It is based on a design by the famous American firearms designer John Browning who died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. It was completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium in 1935 and is still in production.
It is one of the most widely used military pistols in history, having been used by the military forces of over 50 countries. The Hi Power name is somewhat misleading and may refer to its 13-round magazine capacity; almost double that of the Luger or Mauser 1910.
The Hi Power's pistol grip might also be the most ergonomic of any handgun. It is slim, trim and just about the perfect weight for carrying, the gun is almost perfectly balanced. This, together with the grip, makes the Hi Power one of the easiest-shooting, easiest-to-control 9 mm pistols in the world.
