Military and law-enforcement agencies in more than 90 countries have issued the High-Power and it has seen combat in conflicts from World War II through to the \"War on Terror.\" After conquering Belgium, Nazi Germany produced more than 300,000 High-Powers for use by the Waffen-SS, \u003ci\u003eFallschirmjäger, \u003c\/i\u003e and others, and after 1945 the High-Power became standard for most NATO-armed forces as well as scores of others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chambered for the 9×19mm Luger cartridge, John Browning's High-Power improved on the classic Colt M1911 design, especially in its use of a far simpler takedown system. The pistol's innovative 13-round magazine, designed by Dieudonné Saive, staggered the cartridges for higher capacity without unduly increasing the grip size. During its 82-year production run at Fabrique Nationale in Belgium, the design evolved slightly, but a 2017 High-Power was still easily recognizable as a descendant of the original model. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePacked with gripping material including detailed technical specifications, contemporary photographs and highly accurate artist's renditions, this title is a comprehensive and informative guide to the world's most iconic semi-automatic pistol.","brand":"Osprey Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086859493527,"sku":"9781472838094","price":1726.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472838094.webp?v=1769202438","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-browning-high-power-pistol-9781472838094","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
