This review covers the Tisas Regent BR9 SS, a stainless steel clone of the Browning Hi-Power. The reviewer highlights its near-identical construction to the original, with the exception of Novak sights. After modifications, including trigger work and removal of the magazine disconnect, the trigger pull weight was reduced from approximately 7.5-8 lbs to 4-4.5 lbs, with improved smoothness and a crisp break. The firearm demonstrated excellent reliability after an initial few failures attributed to out-of-spec Winchester White Box ammunition. Accuracy is noted as "deadeye," with the stock sights being dead-on at 20 yards. Potential weak points like the stock extractor and rear plate are mentioned, with recommendations for upgrades using original Browning parts. The reviewer rates the modified BR9 SS an A+ for its value, reliability, accuracy, and suitability as a carry or range gun.
