It is interesting to note that many of the reports in the popular press indicated that John Inglis Company was formed to manufacture the High Power. The history of the war and the manufacture of the pistol in Canada are clear, and production records exist that tell us how many pistols were manufactured. Just the same the important facts are there. There is much misinformation on the Inglis High Power and some of the facts are difficult to nail down after sixty years. The High Power has been copied and cloned in Argentina, India, Israel, Indonesia and Hungary.Īmong the more interesting variants of the High Power is the John Inglis manufactured pistol. At one time the High Power was in service with some one hundred nations. The Browning High Power is the single most successful military handgun design of all time.
The final version of the High Power or Grand Puissance or simply the “neuf millimetre’ is a great pistol and has become a classic handgun. Saive is credited with the FN 49, FN FAL and other rifles as well as machine guns and other implements. After Browning’s death the final work was undertaken by Belgian designer Dieudonee Saive. Most of the design work was accomplished by the American designer and inventor John Moses Browning. Not a committee gun by any means, the High Power was very much a human effort. The Browning High Power is among a very few handguns that owes its design to two of the finest designers that ever lived.
