Good for them. The more third world countries that can develop manufacturing economies the better.

That said it kinda looks like an Israeli Jerico to me.

Where's it going to be priced? Because for me to be interested it would have to be significantly less than a Beretta PX-4 and those can be picked up on sale a couple of times a year for $399. And if you time it during one of Beretta's rebate periods you'll get freebies back from them, I got two free magazines and a mag pouch when I bought mine.

Honestly, what's the market for this pistol outside of the Columbia military or the neighboring country's military? A quick scan of Colombia's gun laws suggests that they're not going to be selling very many to their peasantry unless they chamber it in 22 LR.

Well, seeing that the exchange rate is about 1,000 Colombian Peso equals 0.34 United States Dollar. Hopefully cheap.

But aince it comes from a fully government owned factory that is supported by subsidies. I don't expect that.

Cheaper than even a second hand Glock for sure. Apparently small lots of Glocks are imported once in a blue moon. I got some emails about Glock 17's a couple years ago. No way in hell was I gonna pay almost 2 grand for a Glock though.

Rear sight is sitting in rust. Grip can double as entrenching tool.

Still, more pistols the better.

Yea....it looks very wide.

The slide mounted safety and crazy heavy trigger is a big turn off. Glad to see the people down there have some options though!

Not seeing prices on Indumil's website anymore but InfoArmas says $5,465,562 so around $1,885 depending on exchange rate.

Come to think of it the $1,250 was probably for a crappy Llama .38 spl I was thinking about buying.

Is the safety a decocker?

Don't recall offhand but well over $1,000, probably closer to $1,250

Are you sure about that...….it looks like it might cost more.

Just a guess......I really have no idea.

Also sort of interesting is that Colombia produces (or used to) Galils and Mini Uzi's. Alhough I've mostly seen Tavors being carried by the Army for the last few years. Still see Galils sometimes, and saw a cop with an MP5KPDW a year or two ago.

Dat DA/SA trigger pull tho.

Posted: 8/7/2018 1:37:57 PM EDT

I don't mind the looks at all. Slide-mounted safety and that trigger pull are huge turn-offs.
Depending on how it felt in the hand I wouldn't turn one down for a few hundred, but that'd be my limit.

If they price it below the HS2000 it might be a success.

Totally useless, they got the safety wrong.

Springfield Armory can't reproduce their success with snatching up the rights for US distribution again. Maybe Hi-Point can get this one.

First, your English as a second language is better than our Spanish will ever be. Thank you for the information you presented, I doubt any of us were familiar with this product, or Columbia's firearms manufacturing capacity or history.

The gun seems to be fine for domestic market needs, but to compete with other pistols on the export market, it needs some refinements, or an abnormally low price. The slide safety needs to become frame mounted, or an automatic firing pin block used. The bottom front of the grip should be less curved, as in most pistols. These are only small changes, but necessary in today's market. Look at Walther, SIG and Glock. Don't depart from the norms.
