Centurion 14 Hi-Powers?

[CountryGent]

I've come across these at least a couple times, including a moment ago, on Gunbroker: Turkish made Hi-Power clones.


Are these any good? Will they run on standard HP 13, 15, and 20-round magazines?

Thanks!

Everything I have seen on these is pretty positive. I do think the Springfield SA-35 is a much better fit and finish but more $$.

Thought you were talking about Centurion Arms, was bummed when I saw Turkey.

Thanks for the details. I received a PM from another member who said similar. From the video in said, it appears magazines and parts are 100% interchangeable.

Good point on the Springfield offering. I see them too whilst searching. The Centurion appears to be made by TİSAŞ; I'm not sure on Springfield.

Pretty sure SA is Turkish made. By who I don't recall….

I have a stainless Tisas Regent BR-9 and have been happy with it so far since buying it new 6-7 years ago.

Also had a Springfield SA-35 I bought more recently. Liked it also, but sold it within the last year.

There were some similarities between both of them.

SA-35 Frame, slide and barrel are forged by Tisas in Turkey, Springfield does the machining here.

ETA: My SA-35 is in the keeper pile and not going anywhere anytime soon!

I see and hold and feel all of the Turkish clone guns that come through our shop. To me they feel a little tiny bit "clunky" with rare exception. I bought an SA35 and it does not feel clunky, it feels like my OG High Power. If you have never spent any time with an SA35 or an OG High Power you won't ever know any difference. I see the SA35's go begging in the classifieds often, seen used ones down around $550. Buy one of those, support American Companies (even if some parts are made overseas). The cheaper Turkish clone guns will never hold any value, the Springfields may not but have a way better chance of holding some value.

I would guess that they are of decent quality, although many seem to cringe a bit when Turkey is the source. Long ago, I bought a Bulgarian Arcus 94 re-styled High Power clone. Browning parts are drop-in.
