When you say "leaked" you mean "announced publicly because they want to take back their business". Leaking something implies they were trying to keep it secret and someone blabbed.
If it has a magazine disconnect safety it will bomb.

Recently leaked from the Shot Show setup. FN is once again starting up it Hi Power line after a lengthy hiatus.
I’m guessing they didn’t like how Springfield Armory was making a clone.
But now? A Glock 17 does everything the BHP does but better.
This really isn't BHP and thank god.
Big ups to FN for actually redesigning the pistol rather than reproducing a copy. The Hipower died because of virtually no innovation in 80 years.
Major new features:
Take down lever
Ambi slide release (looks like non-ambi mag release tho)
New recoil mechanism and barrel design
Possibly modular backstrap and beavertail
17 round mag
Not sure what the role this new gun fills, but it's a bit odd that this modern version doesnt offer a light rail or optic capability. In addition to the other new features that would certainly differentiate it from the other two commerically available clones and the +1.5 million originals.
It's been really funny to see people getting new SA-93's and realizing that not only is a BHP very much not a 1911, but also that they really dont like BHP's.Exactly lol, the two things the BHP needs to keep it relevant, well, three, are light and optic mounting capabilities and extended mag. They got 1/3 right.
The trend I notice is that people want the BHP to be a 9x19 1911. I don't like that.
Remember that this new version is a HIGH POWER, not a HI POWER.Recently leaked from the Shot Show setup. FN is once again starting up it Hi Power line after a lengthy hiatus.

Being marketed in Japan as Hai Power...
A little?An Official Journal Of The NRA | New For 2022: FN High Power
FN America brought back its High Power in an all-new, redesigned package that takes the iconic Browning design into the 21st century.www.americanrifleman.org
No mag disconnect safety. A little pricey at $1250 MSRP

Not that I immediately disagree, but for argument sake: if you put a rail and optic cut on it, then one could argue its in the same class as their 509, and the 509 is the better option (depending on how you feel about striker vs hammer). The 509 is cheaper, lighter, and there is some aftermarket support for it already. Not much, but not zero. Should the classics, even slightly updated classics, stay classic?
