It's been an absolute dream. I am toying with the idea of getting another one from them before they run out.

+1 on that!
I got one in 9mm a while back with the SFS safety feature. The price is great, the pistol was absolutely beautiful with a trigger far beyond what I expected in terms of smooth and crisp. I could not believe I could get so much quality for so reasonable a price.
I'm considering adding a .40 to the stable.

Okay, I'm home from work now, so I can elaborate.
My FN has been completely reliable, but what I REALLY love about it is the trigger -- after Eric (of HBE Leatherworks) helped me get that stubborn magazine disconnect out, the trigger is beyond sweet.
The last time I went to see Eric, he wanted to know who I had work on the trigger. Other than the disconnect, I haven't done anything to the gun, but I would estimate that it is around 4 lbs, maybe a tad more. The trigger is crisper and lighter than my 1911's trigger.
Don't make me choose between my Browning and my FN -- I just can't -- but I get all hot and bothered just thinking about the trigger pull on the FN. I've fired my only true "one ragged hole" groups with this gun.
I'm tellin' ya, you can't beat these, especially for the price.

I picked mine up yesterday, blued with walnut grips. This gun is beautiful. One of the grip panels needed tightening and there were no dots painted on the sights. Fortunately my wife had some white nail polish, so I corrected both of those items immediately.
This morning I took it out and ran 200 rounds through it. It performed flawlessly with 115, 124 and 147 grain ammo. The lighter loads shot a bit low (about 1-2" at 10 yards), while the 147 grain bullets shot consistently to POA. The pistol's accuracy exceeds mine, I am very pleased.
It is now cleaned and resting comfortably in my IWB holster.

How do I order an HP from CDNN?
I'm guessing I first have to make arrangements with my FFL and tell them they'll be receiving a shipment, then contact CDNN and tell them where to ship? Their catalog says only FFLs can purchase guns. I'm a little unsure how to go about ordering one from them and having it sent to an FFL.

Anyone can purchase from them but they can only ship to a FFL dealer. Call CDNN and talk to a salesman. You will make the purchase over the phone by credit card, they don't charge extra. Give them your Dealers name and address and have them check to see if he's already on file with them. It will save time of you having to get a copy of his ffl and submit it to them. If they have the copy on file they can ship it right away. That's all there is to it. When it comes in, your dealer will call you to come in and do the transfer and you've got your pistol.

Ok, all of you are killing me. My wife has given me the ok to go get one , but since I run the finances of the house, I know that I should wait a while. :banghead: I have two 1911s and I have to get a HiPower in the family. My father has in his possession an FN Model 1922 that his father brought back from WWII with him and I think the three would make a great combination. So I am waiting patiently to pull the trigger, literally and figuratively.

Thanks. I'll do that. I'm pretty sure my FFL is on file with them. I know a couple of others in town who have ordered from CDNN and had them shipped to my FFL.
I may have to add one of those Mark IIIs to my list.

If I do add a MKIII to my catalog, it will be laying alongside a BHP Standard, BHP Belgian, and a BHP .40 cal Practical. So it will be in good company.
Hi guys, I'm new to this board and I might have some useful info. I just purchased a Hi Power with the SFS system in 40 S&W thru gunbroker.com for $400 plus $20 shipping to my FFL. It is the polished blue model with wood grips and 3 factory mags and cleaning kit all in a hard case. The CDNN price for the same thing (except only 2 mags) is $500. CDNN still has the 9mm in matte finish for $400, but gunbroker is the only place I have seen any polished models left for this low price. I haven't received shippment yet and will be out of town next week, but I will let you know how it turns out. poppy

Ordered mine today with the wood grips and 2 extra 13 rounders. From my discussion with CDNN, supplies are getting low. Don't pass this one up. I almost did.
SFS stands for "Safety Fast Shooting system." To engage the safety on a pistol with SFS, you simply push the hammer forward. It will stop at a half-cock postition and the safety moves up and engages. To fire the pistol, you just sweep the safety down, like a conventional safety, and the hammer will automatically return to the cocked position.
Many folks feel it's an unnecessary addition to an already reliable system. Personally I like mine very much.
Here's a link that explains it more thoroughly:

The worst thing they did the the HP was make a DA version.
I'm just glad they still make them in SA.

The CDNN catalog also has the FN HP in DA/SA. Anyone have experience with it?
