They were discontinued a while back. The 9mm version too. If you want a Hi Power, you must buy the Browning brand version.

CDNN did a closeout on these gun a few years back.

What Shipwreck said . . . I was at the 2005 Shot Show in Las Vegas and spoke with the reps at the FN Booth. Basically the HiPower costs to much to produce nowadays especially with most mfgs going to polymers. So FN made a business decission to discontinue the FN which has sold since 1935 . . . and go forward to compete with other major mfgs in modern arms. The Hi-Power will always have a place with lovers of this exceptionaly fine firearm. But if you want one it will have to be a previously owned one unless CDNN still have some available. And if you want a Browning version new you'll pay the price until they no longer have anyleft. But there are lots still around and in very good condition.
