This is where they are up here in Canada... https://www.canadaammo.com/product/detail/dominion-arms-da35-9mm-pistol/
This is my Beretta, the quality of the Turkish made pistols is top notch.
Why are these being called Browning and Beretta in this thread when they are simply Turkish copies?
My apologies. I just realized who I was communicating with. Never mind.
I have two Browning HPs. Bought one in the early 80's Nickel finish, 9MM, I think they called it the match or target model. Has the gold trigger adjustable rear sight, ect and bought the .40 same options except satin nickel when it came out. Both are great pistols. Never carried them after the 10mm came out in a Delta Elite.
I would buy one again and think they are outstanding pistols. If you are a custom to 1911's I think they are a good choice, both single action similar safeties, ect.
I have never shot the Turkish made model but I have heard that they are good quality.

Not a Turkey, but mfg. in Belgium. 9 mm, original finish, wood grips look nice but the Pachmayr's are more practical. Kept the magazine disconnect in place but the mechanism connected to the trigger has been highly refined so no grittiness during trigger pull that many complain about related to that feature.
I am thinking of selling my Browning HP. believe its the latest model, read could handle p+ if you wanted. I haven't used them, it has skeleton hammer and new sear, no mag disconnect and some comfy houge grips. Its a laser, well for a pistol.
Nice looking gun strikeeagle1 great pics too. Yes it's not a Turkey but at least it's as good a Browning High power.

Browning was the designer. No matter where they are made they are all copies of his design.
I've heard of him. I misunderstood the original post. I thought you were using Browning to refer to the manufacturer. You know, like Colt or Beretta.
Browning high powers are not made by the Browning company... The only way to get a new Browning high power is to buy one made somewhere else. The ones made in Turkie are the best.
I don't have one yet, it's what the people who have bought them tell me.
I'm going to get a stainless one like this..
It's the only stainless steel Browning High Power that has ever been made.
Hi,
The statements some people will make...
So I have been to the Trabzon factory 3 times in the past 2 years as personal guest of Turkey MODs.
I brought signed LOI, PO, EUC, Fulfillment contracts, tender requirements, etc for quantities that greatly exceed their entire North American market share and guess what......Have left each time with the pistols FAILING QC, metallurgy test, accuracy test, etc etc.
But....somebody on the internet says they are great

Have you bought a stainless one ?
Hi,
LOLOL as if Brownells is supposed to mean Epicenter of quality or some shit.
Check the import numbers for Tisas pistols to the USA, lol.....those numbers are a sign of just "how good" the pistol is, lol.
Read above: I have left each time with pistols FAILING aka no purchase of anything.

Built under duress but at least it was made in Belgium....
Service pistol accurate, shooter needs to practice and one of these days Ill open it up to figure why the trigger pin was walking....
Guess it could have been issued to the Handschar SS which would make it like a Tisas.

There are two mechanical designs to hold the HP trigger pin in place:
1. There is a groove detent in the middle of the trigger pin axle that captures a limb of the trigger spring to prevent it moving laterally in either direction; if you are familiar with Glocks its quite similar in design of the slide release spring engaging the trigger pin to tension and keep it captive, however with the Glock there is a groove on either end of the pin so the pin itself is not asymmetrical.....install it right>left, left>right. However as with the Glock, it is a whole lot easier to remove the trigger pin if one simply lifts the spring limb out of the pin groove rather than trying to beat the pin out with the spring limb engaged, usually something breaks.
2. The trigger pin on the HP is not symmetrical, the right side of the pin is slightly smaller that is press fit into a slightly smaller frame hole on the right side. Usually the unsuspecting owner attempts to beat the pin out left>right which is often convention for many firearms, just not the HP! HP trigger pins are removed R>L.
So if one were to incorrectly beat the pin it enlarges the right side frame hole so the taper fit is no longer participating in its own retention.
If your right side frame hole is slightly too large, you can gently peen the inside lip of the hole to slightly reduce its diameter by passing a proper sized roll pin punch via the left frame hole; only 2-4 gentle taps required. Blue loctite might work as well.
There is always a trick or two.
Generally, some combination of #1 & #2 explain the individual problems related to pin "walking" for the HP.
Hope this might help.

Got sidetracked and ended up buying this old CZ 85 Combat which was made in the Czech Republic in 1998... I got it from an old bloke who bought it new. I though it was a good deal as it cost $250 less than the BHP. It basically slept for 20 years.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it's not a clone....... Sometimes you just have to put up with things like that, life can be hard sometimes.

Rails inside the frame intrigues me as something I need to own.
If I go that way though it would be a Sig 210, made in the Confederation Helvetica, Not Turkey.
If you really want something that will just blow your mind
I have some nice target pistols...full custom 1911s, the P210, etc. This one is something really special
I like to keep my target pistols American and American made.
No turkeys here......

Nothing you can afford...keep licking those windows
Are those real CZ's or clones made in Kansas city ?
Very nice but also a pity...it smokes anything out there out of the box versus requiring extensive mods. I plan to test it against my Robar reworked HP. I don't think the Robar will stack up very well
