After conquering Belgium, Nazi Germany produced more than 300,000 High-Powers for use by the Waffen-SS, \u003ci\u003eFallschirmjager\u003c\/i\u003e and others, and after 1945 the High-Power became standard for most NATO-armed forces as well as scores of others.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chambered for the 9  19mm Luger cartridge, John Browning's High-Power improved on the classic Colt M1911 design, especially in its use of a far simpler takedown system. The pistol's innovative 13-round magazine, designed by Dieudonne Saive, staggered the cartridges for higher capacity without unduly increasing the grip size. During its 82-year production run at Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Belgium, the design evolved slightly, but a 2017 High-Power was still easily recognizable as a descendant of the original model. \u003cbr\u003ePacked with gripping material including detailed technical specifications, contemporary photographs and highly accurate artist's renditions, this title is a comprehensive and informative guide to the world's most iconic semi-automatic pistol.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509032140958,"sku":"UBD-9781472838094","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781472838094.jpg?v=1780639957","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781472838094","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
