Inglis Hi-Power MK.I (CH Series Military) Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Made in Canada for Allied use by John Inglis CO in Toronto from 1944 to 1945. At that time FN factory in Belgium was accupied by Nazis. The plans were sent from the FN factory to the UK when it became clear the Belgian plant would fall into German hands, enabling the Inglis factory to be tooled up for Hi-Power production for Allied use. Inglis produced two versions of the Hi-Power, one with an adjustable rear sight and detachable shoulder stock (primarily for a Nationalist Chinese contract) and one with a fixed rear sight. Production began in late 1944 and they were on issue by the March 1945 Operation Varsity airborne crossing of the Rhine into Germany.
