Interesting. Hopefully Girsan can pull off a quality reliable copy. I know Tisas made an attempt at it but apparently discontinued it due to quality issues according to the article. Tisas really stepped up their game though with their 1911 offerings. I have one and the quality is surprisingly good. I would say it's on par with RIA.

Time will tell.

Interesting.

They look like a Clone-of-a-Clone FM guns. Not saying that's a bad thing. I do wonder, though, where their tooling came from. Or if they bought tooling.

Maybe this will revive Cylinder & Slide, too. heh.

If it's as good as their 92fs clone should be a decent shooter.

I'm not sure how accurate that article is, Tisa's are still listed on the importers website and Tisas themselves show updated/new models on their website. I like this new version a bit better with it's extended thumb safety and traditional sights that make it easier to change out unlike the Tisas.

I have a few regrets about not adding a Browning Hi-Power to my collection when they were readily available.

Yeah IDK how accurate that info is either. I just know that I have'nt seen any new Tisas hi-power clones for sale anywhere for quite some time.

I'd like to see how the Girsans pan out. I would'nt be opposed to trying one.

I had a Tisa and thought it was pretty good and this new one looks good to me especially for 530.00 msrp

Definitely on my bucket list....

Great, hopefully the quality is there. The hipower is a great gun.

Exactly my hope as well. It's JMB design how can they mess up?

Gun companies often find a way :-)

Its interesting to me that they went with a MKIII "Practical" style front sight. Regardless....If it turns out to be a decent plinker i wouldnt mind getting one myself for a beater suppressor host.

I don't know why these companies just can't get it together and cut novaks, Tisas was the same way. If this one has Browning pattern sight cuts then there are options available at least.

 

[bgcatty]

With all due respect to the OP these are not Hi-Powers. They are non-Browning duplicates that are new to the market. Let's see what happens first and if they don't go the way of the Tisas.

 

[KokomoDave]

I'd buy one. The MSRP is decent. Actual street pricing should make it sub 500.00.

 

[Rong]

There should be a decent market! Do I need one? No. Will I get one if they hit the market? Yes.

 

[Alamo]

Cool beans! Hipower is the most hand-friendly pistol I ever held.

 

[DadSmith]

I wouldn't mind giving one a try. I think it would be fun to play with. If it turns out to be as functional as the original

So many guns so little time.
