I can't see why they couldn't be imported, I just hope the price doesn't get too inflated crossing the border.
That's what I'm afraid of too

Happy for all you wanting this. Personally, hard pass. I've always been underwhelmed by the Hi Power. 70 years ago I would have been really excited about one.
9mm Hi Powers and 45acp 1911s will always be a classic.
A 1965 Mustang is a classic, but that doesn't mean a 2022 Mustang is a classic... Seems to me that if you want a classic, you can get the real deal for the same or even potentially less than this new one would cost?
Semantics, but let me rephrase it. 1935 FN Browning Hi Power and M1911 Colt are original classic semis. There are other classics C96, Lugers, etc. Clones and reproes are such but they bare a lot of resemblance if not identical to the originals and hence in my eyes, they are nice looking guns with a classic design. A 2022 Mustang bares no resemblance to a 1965 Mustang, but I am sure your analogy is just semantics as well.
You are right, this modern repro will cost more than an original but can you find one? If money and storage were not issues that most of us have, I certainly wouldn't mind having this nice classic looking pistol.
