I've owned two FN/Browning. Both Mk.III types. The one I regret selling was the .40S&W. FN was the first company to do more than rebarrel and respring their 9mm models back in the 90s. They truly beefed up the frame and slide and added a third barrel locking lug. It was a fine pistol.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The Argus 94 is a little different from all the others as the external appearance differs the most from the original FN product. Very true. You can see the physical differences in this description. So, any comments on the likelihood that a larger clone market for Hi-Powers will ever appear, along the lines if not the scope of the 1911 clone market? I don't know. And yes of course that's the pistol you own. For the second time! Harvey |
The originals and previous clones have certainly appreciated in selling prices, so there is obviously interest in the type. Tisas ("Regent") has done a good job with their clone, and offering it in stainless (as well as blue/black) was an interesting approach. The "con" side of the Regent, from what I've read in the past, is that they did not improve on the trigger or manual safety issues of the original Hi-Power. (Those might have been improved recently.)
