The GKK-45 isn't Hi Powerish at all. It is however very "S&W Model 59ish"
The FEG P9R was not a derivative of the Hi Power, FEG P9, or first or second generation FEG P9M, but was very similar to the S&W Model 59 using the S&W locking system and the S&W DA trigger system.
The FEG P9R was followed by a shorter barrel FEG P9RK and the aluminum framed FEG P9RA.
The FEG P9RK spawned the single stack .45 ACP FEG ACK, which KBI imported as the GKK-45.
As an aside, the "GKK" came from the initials of Michael Kassanar's (owner of KBI) daughter.
The PJK-9HP was named for his wife, Pamela Jane Kassanar.
The MBK-9HP and MBK-9HPC for himself.
The PMK-380 was named for his father, Paul Martin Kassanar.
The GKK-45, GKK-92 and GKK-92C were all named for his daughter.
The SMC-380, SMC-918 and SMC-22 were named for his sales manager.

The M80 was the FEG P9 imported by Mauser, who also imported the FEG P9R as the M90.
