THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I'm interested in the Arcus SAO. It looks like a mostly faithful Hi Power clone, with some cosmetic differences. It appears to be that it accepts HP magazines. Does it have commonality with other HP parts? Any places that have a good price on them? Lastly, will it fit in an HP holster? The slide looks a tiny bit wider.

I had a Arcus 94C for a few years. It worked well and accepted all of my Hi Power mags. I never tried to swap parts but it appeared that most small part would be the same. Slide and trigger guard contours prevent it from fitting most Hi Power holsters. Mine actually fit an old Sig P226 holster ok. It was a good value for the $280 I paid for it.

Thanks for the reply. Now who actually sells these? Century imported them, but I only see the double action versions on their site.

Grabagun.com has DA/SA and DAO models available. Century said they no longer carry the 94, only the 98. So, good luck finding one to those looking. I gave up and bought a Belgian Police HP off GB.
