Features 

The hammer-forged barrel with target crown promotes consistent accuracy. A refined chamber feeds reliably across common 9mm loads. Textured grip panels reduce slippage. Controls are fully ambidextrous: thumb safety, slide stop, and the FN 509 dovetail-pattern driftable steel blackout sights. Manual thumb safety adds a carry safety margin.

Feedback on the FN High Power Black 17+1 is largely positive. The ergonomics get high marks: the grip fits comfortably across a range of hand sizes and the ambidextrous controls work well for both-handed shooters. The 17+1 capacity is a frequently cited selling point, giving more rounds than other single-action designs in this size class.

Build quality draws consistent praise, including the black PVD finish and the overall feel of the pistol. Accuracy across various distances is another common positive. Weight at 40 oz is the most common objection, particularly from those who want the pistol for daily carry. The price is noted as relatively high, and some buyers mention limited holster selection compared to more established platforms. Trigger feel gets mostly positive reviews, though some prefer a different reset. The FN brand's reputation for reliability carries weight in discussions and gives buyers confidence in long-term performance.
