Call me when they offer a stripped frame-slide kit that I can make a passable faux-Inglis out of, I'll start working the numbers and reaching for the checkbook then.

Looks hideous
Anyone notice the "seams" near the top of the backstrap? I wonder if there will be beavertail options?
Wish they utilized a more modern looking Commander-style hammer like the Cylinder & Slide options.
Any scoop on parts compatiability?
Not a fan of the industrial look but I'll eventually grab one as a BHP aficionado.

The more I look at this the less I see that’s a hi power.
It’s a totally different gun that took some styling cues from the hi-power.
This seems as much a hi-power as SAO CZ75. Yeah, it’s single action and has the lightening cuts at the end of the slide. Oh look, they put a thumbprint which serves no purpose. Thats about the only things in common with a hi-power.
In reality the only improvements I’m seeing over a Mark III is the removal of the mag disconnect and MAYBE improving the beavertail.
Really though, it seems like they threw the baby out with the bath water for those improvements.
The consensus on this abomination in various forums, facebook, etc. is that it's ugly. Someone even said the magazine is not Hi Power compatible, I saw a video from the SHOT show, the FN rep said that they redesigned the magazine to accept more rounds.
This gun should get a delete button from serious classic Hi Power fans.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
It barely looks like a HP. It looks like SIG and FN had a drunk hook-up and had a baby. And for that price? Pass.
Seems like the Springfield looks more like the original that the FN. Not sure what to do here.
The early Springfield GarandThumb got had a lot of problems but these sacrifice the old school looks while being twice the price.
Im not sure how I feel about this because I really wanted the Springfield.
I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.
Saw this on Twitter, seemed relevant.
