When these newer Hi Powers came out, I thought they'd put other modern touches on them like a light rail or a threaded barrel. Disappointed that Springfield and FN didn't. EAA's copy did put a rail on it, but I have no confidence in Turkish weapons.

Your logic is way too limiting. I abandoned that thought process long ago. It's ok to buy a gun just for fun. Worse case, you'll sell it and lose a few bucks. FYI, Girsan makes Hi Powers that are imported by EAA. You can get them starting at a little over $400. The quality is excellent, so no worries about getting an inferior product. I have one of their PI versions. It's the same as a regular Hi Power, but the slide and barrel are shorter. It's been awesome.
I've never seen one in a gun store. They primary sell the most popular guns. If you want something less common, you'll have to take an alternative tactic. I do the vast majority of my gun shopping online. I do a lot of research, looking at pictures and watching videos. I've rarely been disappointed.
I've seen some offerings from Girsan in gun stores, but not the HiPower. Of course, I've seen plenty of Springfield 1911's in gun stores, but not the SA35. I don't go into gun stores a lot though. I've never been to Dawsonville guns and have not been to Adventure Outdoors in a long time. Their selection is great, but it's easier to find exactly what I want at better prices online. I'd like to buy more from local stores, but prices are generally way higher. That's especially true now. They're sitting on a lot of inventory that they likely paid much more for than they'd have to pay now.
