Browny HP clones

[normsutton]

one of our fellow members asked me about the FEG P9M


I have 2 of them one in 9 mm and 1 in 40 cal SW the 40 cal is my bed side gun a long with my 12 gag depends on what go's bump in the night, P9M is a SA gun the FEG P9R is a DA I think ( I really get confused with FEG's numbers). The P9M is built on the original machines that built the Browny HP , it will take Browny HP mags right now FEG is in full production of these guns for police departments and the military around the world because of its quality and they come with a new gun guaranty ( it seems like the Browny HP is still the favorite of all 9 mm's)
if you want one get one from SHONA at http://www.ssmedwi.com/
she is the soul distributor for http://www.fegarmy.hu/index.php?p=guns&lang=en in this country
and WOLFF makes springs kits for the hp






PS DENNIS makes grips for these guns too

P9R, P9RK HIGH-PERFORMANCE SELF-LOADING
PISTOL 9 x 19 mm CALIBER

The gun has an steel casing. It is self-loading and has a latched barrel, an external hammer, a double action type firing mechanism, flying firing pin, and it has a revolving safety device built into the slide. The latching of the barrel is done via three latching rings in the slide. The hammer is provided with a safety rest against accidental discharging.
The revolver-type firing mechanism and the external hammer make it possible to fire the first shot directly as well by pulling the trigger of the previously barrel, loaded, released hammer and unlatched gun, but if conditions allow it, the hammer may also be cocked beforehand with our finger. The revolving safety device in the slide enables loading the barrel while the pistols is latched without any risk involved.

Norm,

Thanks for the SHONA"s web site info and the info on the FEG pistols. I've been looking for a 91/30 scope and she has the repo's at a fair price. Also I sent a email for info on the FEG 40RZ .40 cal that I am interested in.

I've been considering the Bulgarian Arcus 94 and 98, Century is selling them though I don't know how much. The 94 is single action and the 98 Double. If someone with access to century could post the price or pm it to me, I'd appreciate it.

[carguy]

I've also stumbled on an FM HiPower model M-95 from Argentina. Is anyone familiar with them? They have been manf. under license (since expired) for decades from FN from the machinery and blueprints from the FN Browning. I understand that they have a M-95 that is identical to the FN Hi Power and a Detective version that has a 3.5 inch barrel.

Web searches are hard pressed to come up with info and opinions but what I've found rate them extremely well possibly better than the FEG in function and durability but not in fit and finish.

Anyone familiar?

I now have an FEG P9R for $285 OR an FM M-95 for $325 OR an FM M-95 Detective for $399 available to me. Oh yeah and a Beretta 92FS Compact for $450 but I just can't spend that much right now so I'm leaning toward the FM M-95 or the FEG P9R.

HELP! Too many guns, not enough funds!

These guys are really up on all sorts of Hi Powers.

FEG P9R for $285 is not a bad price SHONA gets $380 for them

NORM

[carguy]

All I mentioned are used, FEG I'm told (haven't seen it yet) like new 98%.

So I'm thinking.

If I can get the Beretta for under $450 it is a steal ($675 new) not too many compacts available out there, Ma compliant don't forget.

But I really like the look of the Hi Power. I even found a Star B but it looks so much like my 1911 my son is really frowning on it!

Thanks as well I never nothiced the Hi Power threads on the 1911 forum. I asked for opinions there as well.

here is a pic of my FEG P9R. I have only had one problem with the thing. The action block was poorly soldiered onto the barrel and it worked loose, but a quick trip to a gunsmith and some new soldier fixed it right up and haven't had a problem with it since. This was my only handgun for a long time so there is no telling how many thousands of rounds I have put through it. They are fun to shoot and they are built like a tank.

Thats a nice looking pistol you got there

I think they are all milled and a part of the barrel now
at less I can't find any seems on my P9M's

My question is this, is the P9R DA /SA like a P64? It can be loaded then the hammer dropped to fire the first round DA. And once the hammer is dropped could it be cocked for SA fire?

I ask this as I'm looking at an FEG PJK (closest clone to the Browning Hi Power that I've seen to date) and it is strictly single action like the original but a listing for a used P9R just noted Double Action Only...maybe this one is broken I don't know but I want to make sure the FEG P9R is DA/SA and can be shot either way. The PJK I saw also has a billboard of an import stamp on the slide as well that is just plain ugly. I'm leaning toward the P9R as a more modern version. Anyone can have a good or poor copy so I think I'll have to go with my gut as soon as I can handle either or both.

Thanks to all (buy the way some great look pistols...you already know why I'm suddenly interested too)
