The national news is boring me these days, so we're not going to talk about that.
Instead, I saw a short video from Brownell's where they talk about a pistol they saw at SHOT show, the Tisas Regent, which is apparently a clone of the Browning Hi-Power. I admit that I've never used, carried, or shot a Hi-Power, but those guys I know that have used them say that they are very nice. I read somewhere, years ago, that the Hi-Power was John Borwning's natural evolution of the 1911.
I may soon be in the market for another semi-auto, and this little piece may be just the ticket. It has Brownell's seal of approval.
Sometimes there are surplus BHPs for sale.
ReplyDeleteAIM Surplus had some a while back. So did
Gander Mountain. I picked one up. It's worn
in spots but has a good bore and shoots well.
Also a bargain at that time.
Some years back, they imported some Argentinian FMs which are JB clones of this same gun. I have one - its very good, but no where as nicely finished as a Browning. At 1/3 the price, no surprise - but the performance, no complaints at all of it.
ReplyDeleteNever seen that Tisas before - worth looking at. Thanks for the post about it.
