"Regent" is supposedly producing new Hi-Power clones.
Check the Regent over closely. I would replace all the springs along with the firing pin retaining plate if it were my gun. There have been some reported issues with them. They look good but they are typical Turkish guns. Their QC and metallurgy is not consistent. IMHO I have spoken to C&S about them and at the time they had not handled many but thought they were decent. They did hardness test of the frame barrel and slide on the ones they had and the results were favorable.Yep I got a hand picked one from them hope it is only finish wore badly. Looks decent in pics actually a Browning FN hope so. I have read all bout springs issues and firing pin stop on Tisas Regent online so will see. The Regent finish inside an out is great machining looks great. I just got it Tuesday so will try her out this weekend. Then will know more
Thanks

Yep made Turkey on CNC machines saw video on factory. Brownells importing them. I bought one looks feels great. Like I saw on website C&S building custom guns on them
"Regent" is just a name. The guns are made by Tisas Trabzon in Turkey. I looked at them at the SHOT Show a year ago (2018) and I was impressed, but that was on the show floor. They weren't at range day so I have not been able to shoot one.Mobuck said:"Regent" is supposedly producing new Hi-Power clones.
I have had several FN Browning HPs and like amount of clones. The only ones that came close were some under Mauser than were made in Germany after WW2. I have a keeper that is glass smooth. Once Brn started farming out to Portugal they weren't the same quality gun. They were assembled not fitted as they were at FN. Some of the clones are not
bad when compared to the Portugese models but not near as slick as the originals from FN.
I've haven't had a Turkish HP yet but if they are like 1911s from there they have a lot to be
desired with internal polishing of frame and slide.
Gunbroker or Brownells is a good place to buy a Regent/Tias. When Brownells runs a 10% off sales with free shipping is a good time to buy. I personally would buy from them because if there is an issue they will take care of you better than a GB seller 99% of the time.Okay, you guys have my attention and would ask where is a good place to purchase one and well as pricing. I have shot HPs and like them a lot. Finally figured out that I don't care for striker-fired handguns. …….
Be Safe !!!
I really want them to work out because it would be nice to have a source for new BHPs even if they are clones. Please tell us how it shoots.I bought mine from Brownells 10% off and free shipping. Looks great outside and in machine work finish everything. I hope shoots as good as it looks will be very happy.
Thanks
