Admittedly, the test BHSS ran was a sample of one. Just think it's prudent to get a bigger sample size out there before jumping in. And I'm not questioning C&S, they have a great reputation. FN had what, 75 years of experience with producing the design? Tisas has an unknown amount of time producing them.
My parents told me a story of a Jolly old fat man who left presents once a year... I can assure you, my buddy didn’t mail me this barrel because it fit in his Tisas. He mailed it to me because it was going to be a pain in the ass to fit to his Tisas (fits my MK3 like a glove)

Here's the only other option I know of for a new HiPower currently.
This is from Elite Warrior Armament in Rio Rancho, NM. As I understand it, these are all more or less custom builds done one at a time as ordered. Probably not likely to be $500 a copy although quite nice regardless.
These aren't 100% correct either. Note the unique and different (more 1911 in appearance) radius behind the trigger pin. A small detail that wouldn't keep me from buying one if money became available.

The stainless hipower clone is on my short list.
My first pistol was a browning Hi-Power so they have always held a soft spot for me. What is the trigger reset like on Hi-Powers? I’ve heard it’s quite long. I didn’t know much about shooting when I had mine, so I really can’t remember much about the trigger.
