I’ve been looking into the FN High Power Stainless variants myself. There are a few models, like the FN High Power MK III and the more recent ones. The MK III has great ergonomics and reliability!

3

Absolutely! I love how the MK III is designed, but does anyone know if the new models have improved features? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

4

The latest Stainless variants incorporate better sights and improved safety features. I personally prefer the newer models for that reason, but the nostalgia with older models is hard to beat!

5

Is there a significant price difference between these models? That might influence my decision.

6

Definitely! The newer variants tend to run a bit higher in price. You might find the MK III being a better value, especially if you’re okay with the classic features.

7

I’ve shot the MK III before and found it to be very reliable and accurate. The tactical models also have threaded barrels—a cool feature for suppressor users!

8

That’s something worth considering. Are there any drawbacks to the MK III?

9

Some users mention the trigger feel can be lacking compared to competition models, but with a bit of tuning, it’s quite manageable. Yet, personal preference varies!

10

I find that a lot of it depends on what you’re planning to use it for. Range time or self-defense? That could really guide your selection.

11

I think that’s a key point! If you want a fun range gun, the MK III does great. For more serious defense, maybe look at the newer tactical models.

I’ve heard good things about MecGar magazines. They seem to fit well and enhance the overall experience, especially for training.

15

That’s helpful! I’m also curious though, what’s the opinion on the aesthetics of these Stainless variants? Some love them, others don’t.

16

I love the shiny look of stainless steel! But it can be a bit of a fingerprint magnet. Just keep that in mind if you’re a neat freak like me! :joy:

I love my FN High Power Stainless! For maintenance, I recommend using a quality gun cleaning solvent and a soft cloth to clean the exterior. You want to avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

18

Great tips, @dvega! Also, make sure you’re using a proper lubricant after cleaning. I typically use CLP for the internals. Keeps everything slick!

19

Don’t forget about proper storage! A moisture-absorbing dehumidifier in the safe is great for preventing rust, especially if you live in a humid area.

Absolutely, @ericahernandez! And if you ever take your pistol to the range, ensure it’s cleaned right afterward. I always remove any carbon buildup immediately.
