Or are they just being bought every time they are available?

I really wanted to pick up a stainless model, and now I can't find them anywhere.

Great question.  There were hard to find when they were "out there" but I haven't seen or heard of them in quite a while.  Last one I physically saw was probably around last October.

Could be due to some tensions between Turkey and the US as well as the virus issue.

Cylinder and slide is still showing them as a build-out option on their website, they may have purchased several to be able to do the work on, I might contact them about one of the build-outs.

That would be a shame, the SS model is so well done.

I really wanted one.  I love working on Hi-Powers and thought a stainless one would be a great project.

No but the Turkish small arms corps are making guns to fight wars not supply the US commercial market right now. Turkish guns always come into the country in waves. The market get flooded with them then they disappear. According to the US importer there are more coming. They had an arrival date but it has passed. These are OK guns. There are some known issues with them.

C&S does not have any. They IIRC only ever had one.

Thanks for the update. I've been looking everywhere for these, but nobody seems to have them. Brownells recently stopped accepting back orders for them as well. I realize we're in the middle of a gun-buying panic, but it seems that's not the only reason for their scarcity.

I started looking for one the other day to use as practice for working on actual Hi Powers.  Seems like they just disappeared.

May just have to settle for picking up an FEG and working on that.  But they've also gone up in price.

Yeah I'm really kicking myself for not buying one last year.

There have been a few in Armslist, but none in stainless. I jumped on a SS when it was listed, I paid too much also but I'm glad I did.
