Military Armament Corp (MAC) is bringing back a number of models of the High Power pistol to the United States, starting with the L9A1. The L9A1 was the British designation for the High Power during its service with British forces between the years 1962 to 2013.
It’s worth noting that MAC describe the original L9A1 as being manufactured by Canada’s Inglis company but the original pistols were FN produced. Inglis in fact produced the No.2 Mk1 which entered British and Commonwealth service in 1944. MAC have, however, marked the new pistols as Inglis, resurrecting the old company name. MAC’s L9A1 also features the later pattern MkIII moulded plastic grips.
The upcoming models will be commercial variants, black with walnut grips, satin nickel with black G-10 grips. Last, but not least, there will be a color case-hardened model named the GP-35. MSRP starts from $489.99 and goes up to $649.99 for the GP-35.
