Nice, if you want a "Hi-Power" for range fun and nostalgia because you want one in your collection it is a good way to go. Especially if you don't want to spend for the "authentic" Hi-Power.
That's what I was thinking.
You can get an Israeli surplus Mk III Hi Power for maybe $100 more, and it’ll actually be FN marked, and all that.
Id love to grab one of those, where do you find them?@@sleepingbee8997

Stop dropping content. I need to get up before my legs fall asleep!
Lololol 100% true
Felt this
Lol
Wipe your ass and crawl to the couch!
I haven’t used a toilet in 2 days…
Please tour this man’s Turkish gun factory like the other overseas videos you’ve done. Maybe leave the short shorts at home not sure if that flys over there.
The bath houses would love if
This is very bitter sweet for me, I loved my Hi-Power but my Government stole mine along with everyones elses handguns in England, Scotland and Wales back in '97.
Be warned America the only reason our Government was able to take our guns away was because every single gun was REGISTERED, our local police forces new every single gun's make, model and serial number that we owned, so because they knew exactly what each and every (legal) gun owner had, all they had to do was give us a deadline, and if we didn't surrender each and every gun registered to us, we were looking at at least 5 years in prison per gun we didn't hand in. This is the end result of all gun registrations, stay free (It's too late for us I pray it's not too late for you).
Fun fact: nearly all firearms used in crimes where once bought legally by a ‘law abiding citizen’
And an even more fun fact is the number of innocent people killed or maimed by weapons that have never been owned by individual citizens (legal or otherwise), far outweighs that number by an order of magnitude.
Don't believe me ask the Rohingyas people of Myanmar, or the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the German Jews of the 1930s&1940s, or any of the millions of victims of Stalin's purges.
If you want to try and play the numbers game, you've lost before you've even started.
Well said, my friend. I am sorry your government stole your beloved BHP and your rights to defend yourself against criminals and a tyrannical government. Your fight is now with the pen instead of the sword. Hopefully, my friends across the pond can regain control of their government and teach the bootlickers that their trust that their government took the weapons because they care about the people is sorely misguided.@@elliotlee233
Move to America
This is outstanding. Full parts compatibility, full magazine compatibility, faithful browning high power design, reliable, and $400ish?
I'm sold.
Just picked one up. What a great firearm. The finish is nice and smooth and the trigger is excellent! And there is no magazine safety! It is a tack driver!
James is so awesome that we thumb up the video before we watch it. That way we won't forget.😅
The OG Axel Fooley gun from BHC
At that price it’s worth the look when the other new offerings are double that.
Color case hardening is so gorgeous!
@-TFBTVShowTime ok scammer.
“What’s the finish on it?”
-“Ah it’s hammer fired”
😂
2:32 after the question he did answer what finish it has. Nothing about the hammer.
@@Gieszkanne it’s a reference to the previous SDS video, chief. Go back and watch that one
@@orion834What's it called? I searched and this is the only video they have with sds in the title.
@@rickrobinson8417 hmm I think they may have removed it, hell that guy got so much shit for saying that in the comments. I believe it was the new Tisas handgun, maybe a 5.7
@@orion834 It's still up. It was the Tisas 5.7mm video
Great video and very informative.
Happy with my SA-35 but I wouldn't mind one in nickel.
A big issue with producing the Inglis High Power originally was the conversion of the original metric plans that were smuggled out of Belgium into inch. Curious if they stayed with inch measurements since they are saying they were true to the original. NVM: it is hardly a copy of the Inglis with the external ejector.
The Mark 3 has the external extractor
This is just a poor mans MK3, not a Canadian Inglis it has no hump sites or thumb cut in the slide to assist in disassembly.
First, the 2011 clones. Then the 5.7 clones. Now the Hi-Power clones.
Next up, Turkish HiPoint clones.
If they can keep the msrp under $75 i might be interested
And they sell every pistol they make
Someone should make budget Hi-Point clones. They're ridiculously unaffordable.
wow these look sooo good!
After trying to find out where it is made since it was announced, thank you for asking that question. Shame because I really like the look of that case hardened one.
Wow thats one I can afford to get nice thank you SDS
Im for sure snagging one, awesome
It's not Canadian spec. It doesn't have the rear hump sight, it has an external exteactor instead of an internal one, it doesn't have the take down indent, it doesn't have a cut out for a stock, and it has a firing pin block.
There is nothing "Inglis" about this.
"retro is in right now"
>makes a hi power that isn't retro
@@jesserobinson838 They are clearly marketing it as something it isn't.
I think the only country making Hi Powers with specs to the Inglis Mark I is India. I recall that once Inglis stopped making pistols, they sold all of the tooling to Ishapore and they still make it pretty much unchanged now.
@@jesserobinson838no it probably isn't I briefly had a TISAS Carry model that I started pronouncing as Turd Sauce because it wasn't in the proper spec for anything 1911 save external looks and the magazine.
I say there's a big problem when the barrel is so thin that a bushing that normally needs fitting drops right down over the barrel. 🙄
I will never ever buy any more Turkish made firearms.
@kutter_ttl6786 In the mid 2000s, some of those Indian Hi-Powers got imported here for petty resonable prices. Maybe someone should do that again?
Inglis stopped making hi powers right after the end of WW2. The L9A1 was made by Browning of Belgium for the British army.
Yeah at that price I think it is worth buying but I want to see a couple good reviewers really give them a good test. Hope TFBTV gets one to test.
I think I found the shooting high power I’ll be looking for. Now to put the real one in the safe.
🇺🇸
Tisas stop importing their Hi-Power clone, and now Inglis comes out of nowhere with a Hi-Power from Turkey...
I want to see how those stack up against the Girsan MC P35.
a great neat very interesting and delicious video and pistol Mr James.have a good one.is it any good for the inside the shorts ccw?
If SDS were smart, they would import Indian MK1As and put the Inglis name on those, as they are make to the same spec and on the same tooling.
I think India most likely has weird export laws, as they have very strange firearm laws in general.
Amen!
I don’t really trust Indian manufacturing after my personal experiences with them as well as seeing videos of their service rifle attempt online. There’s a reason they decided to start buying sig ar-10s
Note the gloves he's wearing -- probably to protect from the inevitable hammer bite from the ring hammer. Spur for the win.
If I wanted a hi-power, that’s a good looking example at a good price.
This is nice to see, but Inglis did NOT make the L9A1. They made the first British service HPs, the wartime No.2 Mk.I. The L9A1 was an FN-made Mk.III variant and came later (in service from 1962-2013).
A mid 70s to early 80s font, with early 80s style music. Yeah I guess retro really is back in style.
Love the guns though I only want one, or two..... dozen to test.
DANGEROUSLY BASED
I dig it. Cheeky carbon copies. I, personally like the Regards. They're no 92, but they're pretty damn good. When it comes to a Hi Power clone. It's kinda like looking at a 1911. No big deal it's a clone. Everyone is doing one. Why not Turkey? And they feel just as solid as the Springfield copy and I don't care what anyone says: Just about every clone out there shoots better than the old originals, Spots fired.
Apparently they have a big recall at the moment too so….. just an FYI 🤷♂️
I'm thinking about getting a chrome version.
Magazine Safety? Polished blue finish?
I will be broke
Thanks to SDS
Don't need or want a High Power, but this is cool.
Does it have a magazine safety?
We need some detective slide models!
Is that a reduced hammer on that Hi-Power?
James would you share manufacturer name of your backpack. Thanks!
Tisas USA (SDS Imports) have recalled several 1911s. Just a heads up.
At least they're recognizing a QC issue, unlike a few known gun manufacturers
Saw James getting nervous almost getting flagged by the fudd
Fudd really is turning into mocking older gun owners, isn't it? I thought they were bolt action owners that didn't support the true cause of the 2A.
Anybody who is not completely blind can see that this HP has no resemblance whatsoever to the original Inglis guns or the FN models of that era.
Man when are they releasing the chrome
Review the PX-9
SDS said they provided the CAD plans for this pistol, but this looks a lot like the existing Girsan MC P35 but with different grips and the lanyard loop. It would make more sense to rebadge an existing product than ask a company to start manufacturing a new pistol to their lineup just for you.
Tisas made a HP clone before the Girsans came to the US. I have heard they quit importing them as part of the deal with Springfield. The frames and slides on the SA35 are Turkish, supplied by Tisas, again as I have heard.
If this is a third Turkish clone I would be surprised. He didn't give the name of the firm making these.
Love the Hi Power, I have Browning. Thanks
Hey James do these guns have the dreaded magazine disconnect?
It takes 5 minutes to remove.
They do not. I saw another RUclips channel covering these pistols and the hammer did drop with no mag inserted.
Hammer bite is in style?
I wonder if I’d be possible for them to make a model with a shorter barrel and slide without too much engineering work. Ik they used to make shorter police models and girsan also makes a more modern version of that but I hear it has quality issues
Either a Springfield or FN hi-power, New or old.
hey hop, you see how james holds the mic close to the other persons face?
Does it have the silly mag safety ?
It's a clone so yes
How does this stack up to a SA-35? I am about to purchase one and wouldnt be opposed to purchasing this if it is of same or better quality
As always, buy both!!!
With that said, I would buy something from Springfield over anything from Turkey AT THIS TIME.
Maybe in time I would consider others from over there?
Pretty sure the SA-35 is made by Tisas, and hand finished by Springfield Armory.
Considering these showed up at the same time. I got 5 bucks that Tisas is making the SA-35 or frames slides for SA...
Just say "NO" to Turkey.
What is better alternative to either? I want traditional one but am opposed to slide bite or other hi power problems but if they are over hyped I'd Definitely get an original
Hope to see these with the signature Inglis aight hump and or the tangent sight for giggles. Or even a slot for a holster stock (would have to form 1 it probably)
American/Belgian design pistol, Canadian army model, Turkish made.
I assume there is no hammer bite. I want the Girsan P-35 Match myself.
Yes, you do.
In general, I trust Girsan and Sarsilmaz over Tisas bc they both provide pistols to the Turkish military via government contracts so they have an incentive to keep the QC high in their factories. I don’t know that SDS/Tisas has that and this new Inglis factory in Turkey makes shotguns which always makes me skeptical. That said, this guy seems knowledgeable and was fairly forthcoming on stuff, so I may drop $550 for a case hardened “Inglis” Hi Power to keep in a display case in my media room.
How is this gonna compare to the Girsan MC35?
It has a classier roll mark, anyawy
Oh God, here's that audio again.
@0:26 James calling Turkish guns quality 😂😂😂 I have seen him shit talk Turkish guns sooo much, and when the guns fuck up he calls it getting turked 😂😂😂
Turkey is the Chi-nah of Europe.
That is all I can say due to the constant threat of sense-oar-ship.
Furthermore, please forgive the odd wordplay. These are keywords that cause cents-ore-ship for individuals such as myself. IYKYK.
_"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."_ *~Unknown*
Stay classy my friends.
Yeah no G you can comment censorship and China and not get shadowbanned. You can post videos about them as well lol. China is a shithole, Turkey is a political hell
I owned a Browning Hi-Power in the 1990's. The hammer always bit me hand. Not a great gun for big hands.
Inglis never made a MkIII. Other than that it's nice. Sadly they put the same shit sights the FN Portuguese guns had for decades, but at the price I'll likely get one.
James not knowing how to respond to the lanyard loop statement. I assume it was hesitation amidst the thought, "Why?" Yeah, lanyard loops are cool, but generally never get used.
Also, no expected MSRP range. Bummer.
Edit: MSRP was mentioned, I just wasn't paying attention.
Dude said $489 and up so 500 for a base model.
@@a1racer441 Oh, I missed that, thank you.
Happens to us all, man…we all been watching non stop….they start running together.😂
@@AndyCigars yeah i watched like a good 20 or more videos the last few days so easy to miss stuff.
Far and away the worst part about the BHP design is the lack of beaver tail. There is a very real hammer bite that happens with these older Hi powers, just a heads up to anyone who hasn't shot one. Wear gloves. Second to that is the mag disconnect.
However, seeing modern versions of retro hi powers is pretty dope and if anyone wants to see where our modern 9mm world started, these are the pistols to try. I have a couple of hi powers including a Turkish one from Girsan and they're worth having if you're a gun nerd.
As far as I can tell, Whirlpool still owns the Inglis trademark. So this is clearly a Springfield Armory style name obfuscation situation.
A few Turkish companies have been doing that over the past few years. Tokarev USA & Military Armament Co come to mind
@@TexasLawbringer77they’re all under SDS Imports. TISAS too, I’m not sure about GIRSAN. A Turkish pistol is a Turkish pistol (tho that doesn’t mean they’re crap necessarily).
@@509Gman Girsan is separate. If I’m remembering right, they manufactured sidearms for the Turkish military & law enforcement agencies. The stateside importer for them is EAA.
When your company has had to issue a recall for *all* your TISAS 1911s due to a glaring safety issue, you're not going to impress me by telling me how quickly you produced a brand new product.
I've watched all the presentations from SDS and time and time again nothing about this guy comes off as informed or honest. He seems to be just whipping up designs in CAD, sending them over to the Turkish factory, and hoping for the best.
The recall is not for ALL of their 1911s. And the company making these guns are not the same company making the Tisas guns. SDS is the importer. That is their only connection. At least Tisas has issued a recall, instead of blaming holsters or user error, like some other "reputable" gun makers.
I am skeptical about Turkish firearms but man this shot show really surprised me with the double stack 1911’s and that case hardened hi-power
I own a Staccato and I checked out the Turkish ones. If you need a budget 2011 I would recommend a Prodigy instead. The turkish ones are pretty trash.
This. Got to handle many of the Turkish guns and they are hilariously bad. Kind of infuriating in the moment, knowing cheapasses are going to buy them, then slander the design knowing full well they bought a sweatshop knockoff.
“Sweatshop knockoff”
Someone’s obviously never handled a Turkish 1911
@@capnb0b578 pretty sure the SA prodigy is made in turkey and hand finished here in the USA by SA. Same goes for there hi-power and 1911’s. It seems like SA just makes parts for those guns, but they don’t manufacture frames, slides or barrels.
The new SA TRP’s have been in the TISAS catalog for some time. Exact same slide cuts and everything else. The Turkish factory that makes these guns will produce for other brands. The hand fitting and a coupleUS made parts doesn’t justify the price difference
SDS
Do any of these have a spur hammer?
They gotta be better than my SA35 POS that wouldn’t run to save its life 😂😂😂
How many times is he going to almost point the muzzle at you? I counted 2 or 3.
is it hammer fired?
Not a fan. Way too much hammer bite on the originals unless it was replaced with something more modern. I will say that I was always very accurate with the Hi-Power. Felt very much like shooting a CZ-75.
You can get biteless hammers for the Hi Power
@@Gieszkanne Um, yea, that's what I said. Just not a fan of rebuilding firearms out of the box.
So it’s a Browning Mk III with a lanyard loop? Wrong front sight, wrong rear sight, no thumb cut on slide, no internal extractor, wrong grips, wrong ugly black spray paint finish, etc - but it has a lanyard loop. I personally think the Inglis L9A1 is an ugly pistol, and though i own several Browning HPs and a few Turkish clones - and I love them all - I hav passed on the few Inglis’ that have crossed my path at gun shows since 1987 because I find them fugly. That said, I love this renaissance in Hi-Powers and I certainly applaud SDS for jumping on-board. But if i wanted an Inglis clone L9A1, I would not buy this model - same as I wouldn’t buy a “WW2 tribute” 1911A1 clone with adjustable sights, polished blue finish, and turkish walnut grips - cuz that aint what a WW2 era 1911A1 looked like. So, go re-tool your factory and have one line that makes the correct slide for the L9A1, the correct sights, the correct extractor, and the correct crappy black finish - and then slap the lanyard loop on it. Otherwise, call it a Mark III with lanyard loop.
Turkish guns are a no go for me. The government is far more Islamist than it used to be.
It's sucks that Canadians can't even own this gun.
👍👍😁😁⚡⚡🇨🇷🔥🔥พัทลุง
I'd never even heard of SDS until James started doing videos with this guy. So far I'm not impressed by anything that's been shown.
Turkish hi power nahhhhhhhh
So confused how a gun expert hates turkish guns. Caniks are more dependable than sigs, and better quality than glocks. Apparently they are good enough for Taran tactical to endorse
You may be shocked to find out Canik and Tisas are not the same company. Nor is Remington and Winchester even more shockingly. One country can produce shit and a OK quality gun at the same time lol
@@bower31 i can believe that actually, im not the one condemning the entire country
@@georgec5769 Yeah except Canik is an outlier, a very large majority of the guns made in Turkey are legitimately junk
Tisas produces good stuff
Too bad they are made in turkey...
Just say no to Turkish made.
Boomers are funny. The 1911 reddit goes apeshit over Tisas, same people that always cry about buying American, but won't spend $200 more a fucking American 1911. The most American gun....
1911 is an outdated relic anyway, time to be forgotten
American 1911s are hit or miss these days. Tisas is cranking out uniformly better guns at lower prices than their competition
@@agricola They're making guns at lower cost but definitely sub par quality lol. There are plenty of American 1911s that are still the best you can get.
@@bower31my TISAS has been phenomenal (and no it isn’t part of recall).
@@509Gman Many of them work fine, but as seen by other channels, they are still way out of spec. Mostly lacking is metallurgy, many of Tisas' parts do not meet hardness or material specs they should. So while they might work, they're gonna wear much more quickly, and not hold up as well. Their part dimensions seem to be iffy on some things as well
So the same parts and specs from the old on into this pistol, so your still going to get slide bite on it!! Same specs, same bite!! I’ll pass!!!
Why, pray God, do you never look at the Indian made Hi-Power (Pistol Auto 9mm 1A) manufactured by Rifle Factory Ishapore that is a carbon copy of the Inglis Hi-Power made in Canada during WW2? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_Auto_9mm_1A
