Polymer Frame Hi Power

Stephen A. Camp · 03-13-2004, 09:57 PM

Hello. Some might have known that a polymer frame for the Hi Power existed. I did not until I was contacted by a fellow in another country with information on one. As firearms restrictions and laws are extremely tedious where he resides, I've promised not to reveal anything about him or the country he lives in.

Anyway, the frame does exist and is popular with folks that can get it. So far as I've been able to tell, it is NOT imported into the US. He sent several photographs that I've cleaned up so that we can actually see what how the pistol looks.

I am told that the pistol's reliability and accuracy were not affected by the use of this frame.

I sincerely thank the gentleman who made this report possible.

If interested there's a more detailed report via the link below.

Again, I don't think we can get these in the US, at least not at this time.

Best.

Any relation to this animal?

Hello, sir. No, none whatsoever. While I personally still prefer steel frame Hi Powers, I am a little surprised that FN has not offered it in a polymer frame version.
Perhaps its single-action design is considered dated and their efforts are towards a more modern pistol?

Best.
