I've always loved the BHP and have a strong interest in owning a C&S, Yost, etc. Problem is price ain't cheap. These guns don't come up used often and command big bucks. And we can all but forget about finding a decent used base model and commissioning a build that way.
Anyway, there's a Turkish clone made by Tisas that's recently hit the market. By and large these guns have been pretty well received. What really surprised me is that C&S is building on them.
I talked to one of the gunsmith fellows there this morning for awhile. Nice guy and quite knowledgeable about the BHP. He says the Turkish guns appear to be a solid value and are nicer guns than the FM or FEG variety. They have checked one of the guns out pretty thoroughly to include getting hardness samples for the components. Metallurgy appears good.
Are they perfect? No. The frame tang radius is off and the sight dovetails are something unique.
This pistol pictured below is a C&S full-on custom. Price is $2400 so the gun is still too much for me.
Have a good weekend!
