made in America or in Turkey? According to the presser, it's made in the USA. Now, whether that's from overseas parts "assembled" here (probably so, that that price point) or not, it's hard to tell. They DID say that the hammer and sear were engineered in the US to better serve the US market tastes (better trigger pulls, less hammer bite). A new HP at $700 MSRP is big news, regardless. I got on "the list" at Kentucky Gun Company, so I could handle one when they come in. I won't buy one without putting my mitts on it first. I love a good Hi Power. NO MAG SAFETY!!!! About time someone got rid of that abomination.

Remember the Springfield 1911 frame was once made in Brazil but gun was marked Made In USA..

Wonder how many times this pistol needs to be reintroduced before the industry realizes that very few people actually find them very useful?

I might end up with one, despite already having a late model offered by Browning.

Odd that he says it uses Mec-Gar Hi-Power mags, which (they say) hold 15 rounds, but I just took delivery of two Mec-Gar Hi Power mags, and they are clearly marked for 13 rounds.

TRH, mec gar makes 10 13 and 15 rnd bhp mags. I just checked, and Mec-Gar is out of stock on the 15 rounders. Springfield must have bought them all up.

If you didn't have to carry them all the time, they would be a great choice. They aren't still around because they suck.

Back in the late 60s could've bought one from a co-worker who had just gotten out of the Army, for a hundred bucks, As new, since he'd only fired it a few times after getting home from Germany. Been tempted several times since to get one, never got around to it? Have shot Hi Powers that others owned and liked them. Just wasn't a big 9mm fan back then.
Once had a SA 1911A1, loaded version. Mine said Brazil on the bottom of the frame, ahead of the trigger guard IIRC? Been several years since I sold it. Like the Ruger SR1911 "Commander" that replaced it, much better.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Says they're Regent mags, but I suspect they will work with a Browning Hi Power, too, since that's a clone.

Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
