Daly BHP on Gunbroker

Well I guess to me it is high when compared to what CDNN has been selling Brownings for, and what I have seen used MkIIIs going for. If the CD starts life as an FEG basically, then I would have to price it as an FEG with a few extras. Certainly not $460.

Well, no bids yet. He probably will sell it, but it may not go as fast as you might think at first. If it were me, I'd wait for them to get all the bugs out before I bought one.

YMMV, of course.

Yes, it's basically a $200 FEG that only comes with a ten round mag and has those weird sites. Oh yea, it has CD stamped on the side. Certainly worth that extra $260 + shipping & transfer :rolleyes:
 
I think $460 is a bit high for it, but you cannot expect to find steals like a $200 FEG forever. Same thing happened with the HS-200/XD-9.

The word is out the FEG clones are serious pistols.

I don't care what it says on the slide if it works. (And I'm a Colt snob)
 
My FEG Hi Power is probably the best pistol I own.

I have the PJK-9HP and it is an exact copy, the aftermarket HP parts I had fitted to it required no machining to fit perfectly.

Rather than list the gun's virtues, it's easier to just say that it does everything to perfection and is completely without fault, and the Hi Power just feels like it was made for my hand.

I load it with 124 grain +P+ LEO only Hydrashocks for serious work and it shoots them perfectly.

Mine is a year old and cost me $199 NIB with 2 x 14 round factory hicaps.

It's one great gun.
 
Charles Daly is the IMPORTER for FEG...Its is mentioned somewhere on their site, I sware by could be wrong, the main parts are supplied by FEG.
They could assemble them here and call it "made in the USA"....

According to 2 gunsmiths I deal with locally....FEGs steel is better than the Belgian Brownings and easily better than the Arg. FM guns.........

If I can get one of these in the mid 300$...Id be quite happy. Youve got the sights, dovetails, grips, safety lever, improved slide release.....and the blueing on the gun doesnt look anything but great............

If they are made from FEG parts...IMO, thats all the better.

Shoot well.
 
Dont get me wrong,i love my FEG's with the exception of my PA-63's which i havent been able to make 100% reliable.Then again i havent really tried.My FP-9 is a dream come true as far as handguns go and if the C.D.'s are FEG parts that means theyll be fine shootin guns.
 
Tropical Z, it's FEG parts assembled in the U.S.A.

Therefore they can legally put the made in U.S.A. stamp on it.

I really want a PJK-9HP after handling one at the last gunshow. You've probably heard this from me before, but I can't stop thinking about missing out on that one. Brand new, ring hammer, light crisp trigger pull, 2 X 14 round clips.....$220.......argggggg

If only I had bought it right away instead of checking out the rest of the show, it would have came home with me, instead of someone else...:fire:
 
We got one in to the local shop last week... backstrap was covered in rust... someone, somewhere along the way handled it and didn't wipe it down before putting it back in the box. It went back out to the distributor on Tuesday. :uhoh:

Overall fit and finish was quite good, sights are funky, but the trigger on this one was atrocious! Stagy, heavy, and just plain awful!

Ummm, was that veiled sarcasm? Sorry I can't identify for sure, I'm pretty high on the liquid stuff right now. Something SERIOUS happened to this gun, not just "not wiping it down".

I could "not wipe a gun down" for thirty years and not have it "covered in rust".
 
Wondernine,

Perhaps it did take more than someone handling it, but I know at least one guy that has very acidic sweat and can rust a blued gun overnight by handling and not wiping it down.

In any event the backstrap was rusted from top to bottom, a very fine grained rust at that.
 
Why on earth would someone pay more for a CD BILLBOARD written on the side. :barf: :barf: :barf:

PCR, find some other smiths to talk to. :evil:

9x19, maybe it was 2X's who rusted the frame, I hear he falls through the bed springs once a week. :p
 
460 is high for this... but I do like it... all save for the CD bollboard.
I'd have to buy this, pay for someone to sandblast that crap off, then refinish it.

This Charles Daly fellow is REALLY full of himself isn't he?
 
Hey Wildalaska I am ROTFLMAO too!

I usually reserve my chuckles but I can's resist, sorry. I'd do it right in front of anyone who made a comment like that, especially a gunsmith!

:rolleyes: :D

Not to knock the FEG guns, frankly I don't know a thing about them. But I have learned a thing or two about the Belgian Hi Powers, of which I own two.
 
I suppose you cats are a metalurgists or gunsmiths?
Or is it that a country's name imbues the steel with special properties?
I know... Belgum is closer to Germany so that steel has GOT to be better, is that it?

The only thing that comes out of Belgum that I know is better than from other countries are the waffles.

If two different gunsmiths say an FEG is made from good steel, I might take into consideration that it might be true.

Please give me, if you will, the technical sources that you guy's are basing your opinion from. I'm just curious.
