So, I was an idiot a long time ago. I bought a great-condition Belgian-made Browning Hi-Power in the early 80's. Unfortunately, I didn't know much about guns then, and decided I wanted a 1911 in .45acp (go big or go home, right?) Plus, I wasn't much of a shooter, barely a plinkerer when I went to the range. I had an acquaintance that offered to trade, even-up, my BHP for his AMT Longslide. Sure, why not?
Skip ahead a few decades, and boy, do I ever miss that Hi-Power. And, looking at the prices on Gunbroker, I'm not sure if I'm willing to mortgage the house for one.
So, I find myself considering one of the clones. I see that Brownells is carrying the Tisas BR9, which seems to have good reviews. But, what are some of your thoughts? Anyone have a BHP clone that you would recommend?
And, please don't chastise me for something I did a long time ago in a fit of self-inflicted stupidity.
