The FN Hi-Power is the same as the Browning Hi-Power. Two different companies (or affiliated companies?) making the same pistol design.

Your best bet is the WE Tech Browning Hi-Power when it is released.

Will the WE have an 800lb trigger pull just like the real thing?

Hopefully the WE won't replicate the magazine safety device....

History lesson:

John Browning (PBUHN) was actually contracted by FN to design the High Power for them. This as opposed to him having the design and selling it to a manufacturer as he usually did. It was in answer to a contract for the French military. In reality Browning (PBUHN) had completed two prototypes before he died and the remaining 60% of the design work was done by another designer working for FN named Saive.

it wont cost an arm and a leg but ya know what it will cost you? your money and patience. WE has no imagination, they are just copying the tanaka. i mean exactly since they are. F that im not buying it. your just buying a metal head ache. the tanaka was full of problems. worst was the trigger linkage easily breaking. as much as i wnated a browning HP. there is no good one and i think there never will be unless like kwa makes one.
