Looks good, is the US version full auto ? And when are they going to do the venerable Sten gun ? Seems that Umarex are preoccupied with giving us everything either American made r for the US market, if it weren't for Webley we wouldn't even have the mkVI replica. That's probably the reason why we haven't had a decent Browning Hi-Power replica, as that was the standard British firearm for a good few years but it never found favour with our colonial cousins on the other side of the pond.

tempting... I expect US version to be full auto, like MP40.
To be fair Umarex made quite a few German guns, they made very nice replica of Glock so maybe they get around to make hi-power as well. I think it fill fit in their Legends series.
Btw Hi-Power is still a standard issue in Canadian Armed forces.

It's a lovely gun with a hell of a history, with it's design by The man himself (John Moses Browning), his untimely death, His Son finishing it off and getting it into production, FN making the damn thing and the German Occupational forces taking over the factories during the second World War, it being made as a sidearm for the Germans and even after the war it was adopted by lots and lots of countries (notably Britain & Canada, but lots and lots of other countries too). In fact, off the top of my head, I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was adopted by the Canadians before even the British Armed Forces. I would absolutely love one in my collection  |

I would absolutely love one in my collection WE make a green-gas airsoft version, but that would make you one of the RIF-RAF... 😜 |

I really have never fancied owning a GG powered replica  |
