Description
The FN High Power Black 17rd is a pistol chambered in 9mm with a 4.7-inch barrel and a 17+1 capacity.
FN High Power Black 17rd Overview
The FN High Power is a modern take on the classic Browning Hi-Power, keeping the slim profile and signature styling with modern features. It is a single action, hammer-fired 9mm that holds 17 rounds. When you choose a handgun, the right size depends on how you plan to use it. A smaller frame is easier to conceal under a light shirt, while a longer grip and slide give you more control, a longer sight radius and faster follow-up shots at the range.
Spend time with the grip in your hand, try a few draws from the holster you plan to use, and practice reloads with the magazines it ships with. Regular practice with quality ammunition will build the confidence and skill that matter far more than any single feature.
Design and Features
The High Power has an ambidextrous safety, a reversible magazine release and a slide-mounted extractor, and it disassembles easily. Its classic styling includes the signature slide taper and long slide release. For carry, pair it with a quality holster that covers the trigger guard completely and a sturdy belt that keeps the gun stable through the day. For home defense, a weapon light and a secure, quick-access safe are worth considering. Whatever the role, spend time learning to manipulate the controls until loading, unloading and clearing malfunctions become second nature.
Handling and Carry
The single action trigger breaks cleanly at about five pounds.
Trigger and Controls
The trigger has a consistent pull with a clean break and a short, positive reset.
Sights and Optics
The factory sights give a clear, quick sight picture, and an optic-ready slide (where fitted) lets you add a red dot whenever you are ready.
The 9mm Cartridge
The 9mm Luger is the most popular handgun cartridge in the world. It offers manageable recoil, good capacity, and a huge selection of affordable practice and defensive ammunition.
Setup and Accessories
A good holster is the most important accessory for any carry pistol. Choose one that covers the trigger guard completely and holds the gun securely, then add a sturdy gun belt, spare magazines, and a weapon light if the frame has a rail. Practice drawing and reloading with an unloaded gun until it feels natural.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the pistol and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the breech face and slide rails. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
