One thing that strikes me as odd is in the Military Use section. While Germany did use captured Hi-Power pistols during WWII, I've NEVER heard of a full auto version that wasn't some South American modification. It just seems like a bit of a stretch to include without any sources. -- Grimwol ( talk) 18:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

This was mentioned a few years back, but there are still several comments indicating that the Hi-Power utilizes a 'more reliable' external extractor, all of which are unsourced unless I am mistaken. The lack of sources is an obvious problem, but the fact that I can easily and readily find credible sources that back either viewpoint, that this is an improvement or not an improvement, is an altogether different problem. This really needs to be changed to reflect a neutral point-of-view. Syr74 ( talk) 08:35, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
In the Section on the Technical Specifications of the Mk I, it says:
Dispersion (firing 10 shots with rest)
There isn't (at least I cannot see it) any reference given to where these data come from and how they were measured. Taken in themselves, these data don't make a lot of sense to me, since the aggregated data are merely sums of the height and width data. Assuming that the height and width data show the distance from the centre point of aim to the outmost of the ten shots, the linear measure to that outmost shot from the centre point would be - after the Pythagorean theorem:
and maybe even less, if the extremes from height and width came from different shots.
Could anyone clarify that?
I would like the reasonably verified, earliest known date of the name Hi Power being applied to this pistol. Specifically was it used before the German invasion and operation of the FN factory in Liege.
thanks!

Incorrect. Belgian engineers assisted the Inglis firm with reverse engineering and manufacturing; the tooling remained at FN in German-occupied Belgium. 2600:8805:3804:F500:41D0:B4F:124E:1C28 ( talk) 01:47, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
