The history of the Hi-Power is interesting.

A generation ago, the Hi-Power was issued to elite units in the United States including the New Jersey State Police Fugitive Squad and FBI Hostage Rescue Team. The Hi-Power has been issued to the armed services of more than 50 nations. Our Canadian allies issue the Hi-Power, and it works as well today as a battle pistol as ever has.

If you scan the news, you may see a Hi-Power in the hands of Indian police or being waved by a woman during a street battle in Iraq. In the perfect handgunning world, all pistols would have the mix of history, performance, and collector interest of the FN Hi-Power. The Hi-Power is among the most recognizable handguns worldwide. Fabrique Nationale recently announced that the Browning Hi-Power pistol is being discontinued from manufacture.
