FM Detective, HP clone?
At a local gun store they have a FM Detective, it is made in Argentina. It looks like a Hi Power frame with a slide about an inch shorter than a HP. They say that Argentina bought a license from FN to build HPs and the detective model was made for the police. Has anyone used them? Or heard anything about them? Its about half the price of a Hi Power.

I haven’t heard of anything about them until now. I’ve checked their website (FN Herstal) and there isn’t any mention of a licensing agreement that I could find. I did find a website offering the guns for others to view.

I haven’t used them, nor do I really want to. With my opinion, I tend to believe if a person wants a quality pistol to stick with the originals, and pay the price for them.
