Np-18 possible in future

[surly]

Hi any possibility of some NORINCO NP-18 pistols aka the HIGH POWER clone in 9mm could appear in the near future . thanks!

I keep hoping that Norinco will produce a true Hi Power clone (not the dubious double action NP-18 that has had very mixed reviews). China certainly has history with the Inglis and with the continued hi-cost of old or new Hi-Powers, it seems there is a gap in the market. A $400 or less exact clone (like their 1911's) would sell plenty.

It sure would! I'd buy one in a second. I have a Norinco 1911 Commander

it would be sweet if they made one with a standard light rail.

It isn't an exact Hi Power clone.

It is a copy of the FEG P9R.

Clone this FEG clone:

Not this FEG clone:

That is extremely interesting because this is right off of the Marstar site:

Definitely is a P9R, not a Hi Power...

I almost bought an FEG clone last summer but SOMETHING about it didn't seem quite 'right'. After hours of staring at the real thing and clones, side by side, I realized that almost every clone had the curved 'step' in the frame above and in front of the triggerguard while the real deal had a straight frame all the way back to the grip. It bugs me so much that no matter how much of a deal they are, I can't bring myself to buy one with the stepped frame.

A real Hi-Power clone...in .40S&W. I'd be all over that...
