For anyone interested, Bud's is selling Feg Hi Power clones made in Hungary. Kassner is the brand name and is respected. They are no longer in business but made military and police weapons for decades. Their HP clone ain't an FN but is very close. Two of their products were called Hi Powers, and one of these has a S&W style double action mechanism. Buy one with problems, and you have a paperweight. No available parts. Beware that this one too is correctly termed Hi Power. They are advertised as Hi Powers by people who know the difference but may not tell you.
Bud's is running the desirable ones for $269 which is a great price. They're marked with Interarms as importer so they hit these shores long ago. But call and verify before ordering. Don't go by the picture alone. Why? They said that not all may look the same. So check.
He who wishes to buy Browning parts will find them cheaper at Browning than any other price. I know it does not make sense. You'll call and talk to a nice lady who'll likely be using an out of date price list. And yes she knows better.
Well, I've told all I know about Hi Powers in this thread except to say that various South American military magazines hit the market occasionally in big batches. Spend your money on available Mec-Gar mags instead.
