Sounds like everyone wants to fix hammer bite, trigger job and magazine hammer block. Any info, quality on new ones. Never understood why somebody besides browning didn't make them, like DW, Kimber, and so on.

It is my understanding that there have been Hi Power clones. FEG comes to mind, but I believe that there has been others, including CZ years ago. I think that Israel made one years ago. They also were made in Canada for awhile, under license Although an outstanding pistol, IMHO, the HiPower has never shared the following of the 1911.

I have a semi-clone Hi-Power from Hungary. It looks the same, but has zero parts interchange.

I suspect some of the reason for the dearth of clones is its complexity. There are just too many good designs out there which are easier to copy.
