It held more bullets, It shot flatter, its penetration was superior (penetrated helmets out to 125 yards v/s the .45′s 35 yards) kicked less and was light years more accurate that the .45 acp.

Several G.I.’s told me they threw there .45′s in a ditch after they got hold of a FN High Power.

Unfortunately today the gun has been trashed with cheap cast parts, the barrel hood eliminated to speed production, and a passive firing pin safety that causes slide cracking.
