Guns are made in Turkey, grips are made in Canada. Looks like O'Dell is distributing, should be available from a whole wack of CGN sponsors soon.

For the extra couple of hundred, I'd get a Mark III Hi Power.

I was thinking, used HP's go for close to this one's asking price. not quite as low, but I have seen several sitting around $800.

my friends main carry used to be a High Power...then he started carrying a lil Sig in .380 Auto. cute gun. was fun to shoot.

but wait. I thought I read somewhere that Turkey had firearm restrictions, which is why we only see shotguns come out? has something changed or did these guys jump through all the hoops so they could sell? :confused:

Girsan pistols have been around for a few years now, and they're made in turkey.

They can make rifled barrel firearms. It's just a whole lot more regulated - not quite a government regulator standing at every factory door and over every lathe and mill, but close. Very tightly monitored. Which is why there are so few rifled arms from Turkey available for export.

Shotgun manufacture is borderline unregulated in Turkey, which is why there are so many shotgun manufacturers.

Their government might be getting a clue though, and starting to ease the restrictions. They're making a mint on shotgun manufacture and export, so they might have seen the light and decided to open things up with some of the other firearm manufacturing. The Girsan and Canik are both doing well, so this would be a nice widening of the net.

Given the "Canuck" moniker on these, I wonder if they're being made at the same plant as the Canik pistols. I would not be shocked.
 
These are Tisas (Zigana); Marstar had some DA's for years and are clearing leftovers.

Then you got Canik, Girsan, Sarsilmaz... Of course we don't get as many as other North American countries.

These are new production from Tisas. "Canuck" is O'Dell's brand name. This is a new line for them that they are contracting out on their own. Much like Dominion Arms is a Canada Ammo brand.
