FN America's High Power is a semi-automatic 9mm with a 4.7-inch hammer-forged barrel that has a target crown, and this one wears an FDE (flat dark earth) PVD finish. Capacity is 17 rounds. Two pairs of polymer grips come with it so you can change the feel of the frame, and FN includes a zippered ballistic range bag. Our listing shows it as used; the supplier describes it as new.

For North Carolina shooters this is a full-size pistol that fits home defense and range use, with a long sight radius from the 4.7-inch barrel. Buying is simple here: no state permit, no waiting period, a Form 4473 and a NICS check at the dealer, or a valid North Carolina concealed handgun permit in place of the check. The range bag means it is ready for the first trip out.
