This guide details the operation of the FNH SFS (Safety Fast Shooting) Hi-Power system, as demonstrated by an expert instructor. The SFS system allows for a safer carry method by enabling the hammer to be manually pushed forward, rendering the trigger dead. A simple downward swipe of the safety lever re-cocks the hammer for a ready single-action shot. The video also compares this system to other Hi-Power variants and South Korean designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the FNH SFS Hi-Power safety system work?

The FNH SFS (Safety Fast Shooting) system allows you to chamber a round and then manually push the hammer forward. This action makes the trigger dead, rendering the firearm safe. To fire, you simply swipe the safety lever down, which automatically cocks the hammer for a single-action shot.

What is the difference between the FNH SFS Hi-Power and the Daewoo K5?

While both systems involve forward hammer manipulation, the FNH SFS is a single-action system where the safety lever re-cocks the hammer. The Daewoo K5 (DP51/LH9) is a DA/SA hybrid, meaning pushing the hammer forward results in a light double-action pull to cock the hammer.

Is the Tisas BR9 Regent a good alternative to an original FN Hi-Power?

Yes, the Tisas BR9 Regent is presented as a faithful and high-quality reproduction of the Browning Hi-Power, offering excellent build quality and performance at a more affordable price point than original FN models.

What is a drawback of the FNH SFS Hi-Power system?

A notable drawback of the SFS system is that the pistol's slide cannot be manually racked (cycled) when the hammer is in the forward 'safe' position. This requires the hammer to be cocked before slide manipulation.
