The DA/SA version has little to do with the HP, other than similar looks. Instead it is based on the S&W 59--which in itself isn't a bad thing, as long as you know what you are getting.
I got a FEG NIB last year, and it has been great. Very accurate and no hiccups whatsoever. After comparing it directly to a Browning, it isn't as well finished--lots of internal tool marks and the bluing isn't very even. But it's functionally perfect, and perhaps 95% of the finish of the BHP. My father has several FEGs, and a few (Kassnar imported) are beautifully finished and every bit the equal of his BHP.
Mine had an awful trigger, but a $59 trigger job, and now the trigger is perfect. I think you will be pretty happy when you get it back.
Let us know how you make out!
