Heads up. Royal Tiger Importers are reporting a new shipment of Israeli Hi Powers.
Not sure if you read the description and saw the pull-down selections, but it appears that for a max of $559 you could specify Star of David (hand picked) and Excellent condition. linkI'm very curious as to condition since majority of Israeli import pistols I've seen need some cosmetic TLC.
Definitely a bad way to do business. Doing some web-surfing today, I decidedTanker06:
Sorry to hear about your experience and that is just poor customer service and a bad way to do business.
I picked up one from my FFL earlier this week. Obviously reparked, with some pitting near the muzzle on the left side of the slide. Was full of blasting media and grit when I got it, took a while to clean up. Does have the star of david, but one thing I'm not sure about is the rear sight. It's drifted over to the left by about 1/16". Guess I'll take it to the range and see where it hits...You gotta be very careful with Royal Tiger. These are usually refinished
and thick enough to cover most markings I ordered two with Star of David
which could be seen only with maganifying glass. I returned and got shock with a 20% restocking fee!! Not in ad but buried on their website.
Refinishing also not anywhere in their ads Sarco is another importer but is
currently out of stock there BUT nicer firm to work with Unless I could buy in person I would avoid Royal Tiger...I also bit for Highest Quality AND hand
picked. Warning
