Gee. You really can fool some of the people ALL the time.
the ARCUS 94 is a semi clone of the P-35, made in Bulgaria. Like so many guns from that area (Makarov) it's built like a tank and great value.
The difference is primarily in appearance, the ARCUS lines are much harsher with none of the grace of the HP. It's angular, masculine, no nonsense.
I've had a 94 for about four years now, from back before AIM was importing them. It has without a doubt the best trigger of all my BHPs and BHP clones. It takes all of the BHP mags and the internals are all the same.
The 98 is similar, but DA/SA. Again, it uses the same HP mags.
IMHO, the ARCUS 94 and 98 are the sleepers out there. And about the middle of next year they plan on beginning importation of a revolver with changeable barrels and cylinders like the DW. If it's half the gun the semis are it will be a steal.
