Recently the Real Guns website ran an exhaustive test on the Browning Hi Power, and understandable they were highly impressed with what they found. As a quick history lesson, the Browning Hi Power was the brainchild of American gun inventor John M. Browning, who also invented the legendary Model 1911 .45 Automatic for the US Military. The initial Hi Power design was created in the early 1920s as a joint effort between Mr. Browning and the Belgian arms maker Fabrique Nationale (FN) for a French request for a new military pistol. The French ultimately passed on the innovative new pistol, and Mr. Browning died suddenly of a heart attack at the FN factory in late November of 1926.
