OK, I think I already know what most of you will answer but I'll ask anyway. My local gunshop has an actual brand new BHP MkIII for $579 (marked as Beligan if I remember right)and an FM copy for $369. Is the additional $200 justified in getting the real thing?

I'll bite first. Yes, it is worth it. I have recommended either the real thing or the clone to my family or friends, depending on the particular situation (in particular their financial sensitivity).

The clones can be fine guns, and you would probably be happy with it. However, the fit and finish just don't compare to the real thing. If you can afford it, and especially since you can find a NIB BHP, and it's actually at a decent price, I think this is a no-brainer...

Hello. I would go for the real thing for reasons mentioned in previous post as well as the fact that it will hold its value more so than the FM in the event you ever decided to sell it.

Best.
