The Argentinean Hi-Powers are not really "clones." They are exact duplicates, other than finish, built under license from FN. The name is FM (for "Fabrique Militaire"). I have owned two, and both ran flawlessly out of the box and thereafter. I let one of the guys at my range's local competition try one of mine because he thought he might do better with a 9mm than a .45 1911

It all depends on the vintage of FM... The quality has varied greatly over the years which is illustrated perfectly in the responses given so far about these pistols. Early is typically better than later ones... Personally I see no need for HP clones...
Why buy a clone? This real deal FN Hi Power cost me $425 OTD....
