A rare thing.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

The only gun I now own not designed by Browning, the newest design I own, my only 9mm, and the only one that wasn’t made in America. I’m excited to take it to the range.

I had no idea Armalite made a pistol. Attractive though.

Turkish guns have come a long way in quality in the last 20 years. They used to be hot garbage but I’ve been impressed with their fit and finish lately.

I still remember a friends Turkish Beretta 92 clone that wouldn’t put 2 rounds out of a clip in the 10 ring at 7 yards no matter how hard you tried.

Have fun shooting it!

Don’t know about them specifically but a lot of guns are now.  All the Stoegers are.

So there’s a high likely hood that you own a Browning Hi Power?

They are the exclusive carrier for Yildiz. I checked and they are manufactured in Turkey. A friend of mine is a gunsmith and he said Yildiz are decent guns. Not a Benelli, but not garbage either.

The dude at the gunsmith said that until he saw it, he had no idea Armalite made hand guns

That looks like a CZ clone. CZs are known for two things - having the slide run INSIDE the frame, and being cloned extensively by manufacturers in Italy and Turkey...and Isreal (Jericho 941)...and Switzerland (Sphinx).

If it is a CZ-75 based design, I’m sure she shoots well. Most clones, while having their own unique internals, still handle and fire just like their CZ-75 parents.

(I own three CZs, and have read a lot about their clones. First one I've seen from this brand, though.)
