Browning Hi-Power Clone
Don't think this was covered: Brownells is importing a Hi-power clone from Tisas of Turkey. The gun retails for $550.00 and should meet the needs of anyone looking for a Hi-power for carry or range use. It has the standard Browning safety and would benefit from an extended safety. It is available in 9mm.

The Tisas is getting good reviews over on the HP forum ( sub-forum on the 1911 Forum). Go over there and get honest opinions from true Belgium HP shooters/collectors.

I've been tempted to buy one, but since I already have a MK II and MK III I've managed to restrain myself.

Tisas may be good; but it's not your Belgium MKII and MKIII. Hang on to them.

This gun? Here is mine after significant modifications, both for reliability as well as improved function:

Picked up a late 2018 manufactured poly-coated BR9 2 weeks ago used for $100 off retail in NIB condition. Over a coupe of hours, put 700 rounds of 8 brands of 115, 124 and 147, round and flat nose, regular and nato through it shooting steel in high heat. Alternated shooting it with 1911s, including a CMP. Put 150 of 115 and 124 through it shooting paper yesterday. 3 different shooters. Absolutely no failures of any type. Trigger was ok to start and is noticeably better after 500 rounds. Just for laughs, Carried it IWB for one day in place of my 3913. Never fired a Hi Power before so can't provide a comparison. Like it a lot as a steel range gun, where speed counts more than pinpoint accuracy. Just OK for paper, but that is probably me and the need for more practice with it.
Won't be replacing the 3913 as my carry gun.
