Thinking about the detective version. Is it legit? A gimmmick by a clone maker? What should I know that would help me decide?

It was never made by FN/Browning, only by FM of Argentina who were licensed by FN to make copies of the Hi-Power.

Argentine (FM) only.

Neat idea but from what I understand the springs wear out very quickly and are next to impossible to get as replacements.

Besides, as far as CCW goes the stocks are more of a problem than the slide and that configuration does nothing about the frame size.

I've read here that CZ75 springs will work, let me look for it and see if I can find it.

I just got a Detective upper, and searched for springs. I found a thread on another forum that says these are the right ones. I ordered two from Wolff (gunsprings.com). Haven't gotten them yet, so can't comment on what the other guys said, but they claimed to have used them.
