Sorry, I was an adviser to the King Abdhul Aziz Motorized Rifle Brigade and my weapon was provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Dam thing got me in trouble at every PX and APO I went into. MP's want to see you clear your weapon before entering... FN won't drop the hammer unless the mag is in. Often looked like a Laurel and Hardy routine... "Clear you weapon" ... "No, remove the mag and clear your weapon"... "Clear your weapon" ... "No, remove..."
FN Hipower? I guess the authorities frowned on removing that stupid magazine safety, like most owners of that otherwise outstanding firearm do.
