Look, guys. I'm gonna be Captain Buzzkill here. No matter how valient the effort, no matter how desirable the aesthetics, we need to be exceptionally wary of the viability of reverse-engineered guns. I don't care if they have access to the latest and greatest in CNC machinery, unless a manufacturer of a resurrection platform has access to and uses the OEM blueprints, and uses components of equal or greater OEM quality, and has an assembly force with comparable experience and expertise, and the company is committed to a viable quality control program, the results are likely to be like the Springfield SA 35 or the original SIGARMS GSR 1911s.
Historically the Inglis High Powers worked because Inglis had part of the FN engineering and manufacturing crew on site that had fled the Nazi occupation of Belgium/FN, and had the blueprints and capabilities to make the project, and dimnensional deviations and/or component differences synchronize together. That's significantly different than straight reverse engineering.
Look how justifiably whiney things got with the first generation S&W M&P 9mms-and that was with an OEM manufacturer. Now envision how things can play out with a non-OEM manufacturer, using components whose inherent material and manufacturing processes might be questionable or dimensionally variable, or if the manufacturing process itself has fleas.
I realize that we have a tendency to desire a classic platform (in this case, a High Power), ideally one made of superior materials, with superior technology-and at a bargain price. I'm skeptical. If you just want a range/sock drawer gun, know yourself out. But if you want a serious use firearm, I counsel taking a long, hard analytic look before you leap.
Best, Jon
