A rail would go good with those ambi controls.
There are visible differences from late P35s, looks like they have gone back to an internal extractor, a complicated looking right side slide stop lever, which may be a separate takedown latch. Coarse checkering on the front strap, maybe cast in. Different sights, burr on hammer is very high, maybe high enough to avoid bite without putting on the beavertail the manufacturers hate. It ain't your grandpa's High Power.
Code Name: JET STREAM
FN America’s webpage hasn’t gone live yet, but here is the link:

Note that the barrel now locks up on the slide’s ejection port. There is a separate takedown lever. The extractor appears to be internal, and the magazine disconnect safety pin is missing from the trigger. The slide and barrel almost appear to be shorter, but this might be a visual effect from the grip being lengthened for a 17-round magazine.
Ambi-controls and front strap checkering are nice factory options. Interested if these will assembled in Portugal like the old ones or made in South Carolina. It's cosmetic, but I like the FN roll mark. They released a run in the early 2000s with them and I still kick myself for not picking one up then.
