If you like guns, FN’s exhibit is a can’t miss on your to do list. The company marks its beginnings to 1889 as Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre when a group of Belgian arms makers got together to build 150,000 Mausers. Over the years, the company has produced firearms like the legendary Hi-Power 9mm pistol, the FN FAL, as well as the more modern M240- and M249-series of crew-served machine guns. FN, Browning and Winchester are all part of the Herstal Group. Industry wide, if it went bang, there’s a very good chance that FN and its designers had something to do with it.

This year, 2022, is a special year in that FN has reintroduced the iconic Hi-Power but they didn’t just duplicate the same design that made you suicidal at the thought of having to field strip it. They kept all of its unique characteristics with significant improvements to make the 2022 offering far more ergonomic, an improved fire control group, and increased magazine capacity. If you’re familiar with the original, you know all too well about its propensity to not cycle reliably or stovepipe with commercial 9mm ammunition, FN zeroed in on those concerns and has improved both accuracy and reliability of its 2022 release. Prospective buyers, you’ll have three flavors to choose from at an M.S.R.P. of $1300.
