Another good group of pistols to look at and consider are the Girsan / Tisas brand of Turkish pistols. They have had some very nice clones of the Beretta 92, the 1911, and the Browning Hi-Power on the market in this country for a long time. I picked up one of their Regent Stainless Hi-Power clones a couple of years ago, and it's been a really good gun.
It feeds and ejects flawlessly, has nice machine work with few tool marks. And a good fit and overall finish. And it uses all of my Browning Hi-Power magazines, as well as Mec-Gars for the Browning Hi-Power.
