Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key modifications on this custom FN High Power MK3?

This custom FN High Power MK3 features VZ full checker grips for enhanced handling, a direct-mount Trijicon RMR CC optic for improved aiming, and a single-stage trigger job that flattens the pull and shortens the reset. It also includes an in-house alloy full-length guide rod.

How does the new FN High Power differ from the classic model?

The new FN High Power shares virtually no interchangeable parts with the classic version. Its slide is notably longer and wider, which facilitates direct mounting of optics like the RMR CC, a feature not easily achievable on older models.

What are the benefits of the single-stage trigger job on this FN High Power?

The single-stage trigger job provides a straighter, flatter trigger pull with a very short and audible reset. This modification enhances shooting precision and speed by offering a more predictable and crisp trigger break.

Can I mount any optic directly onto the new FN High Power slide?

Yes, the wider and longer slide of the new FN High Power allows for direct mounting of optics like the RMR CC. However, due to internal components like the extractor, the optic's mounting position is limited to the lower 10-20% of the slide.
