Bought this at Village Tactical today. Pretty nice looking pistol for something made in the 90's. Just finished taking it down and giving it a thorough cleaning, which it prolly did not need as it was pretty clean. Who ever the previous owner was did not spend much time shooting it, internals are in new shape. Really like all the functionality options of this thing. It has a de- cocker that works with the safety lever and a setting screw that allows it to run in either pistol or revolver mode, I am not sure what that means until I get it to the range in the morning. May be completely useless but still kind of different than anything else I have LOL.
Feels and looks like a Hipower. Will get on my phone and post a couple pics!

I have one; revolver mode means a LONG HARD trigger pull on every shot. I used mine in pistol mode (conventional double action with light pull after the first shot) for several years until the S&W M&P Pro 9 5" came out, shooting IDPA/SSP.
I don't like the thin grip on the BDM, and never found a grip sleeve that would stay put in Ok summer matches.
I spit the front part of the firing pin while dry firing, but the replacement pin seemed more robust.
The magazines are unique; gun does not match the HiPo.

So this laser came with the pistol. No name or serial number on it. Any of you guys have any knowledge of this thing.

Cool pistol! I had one a few years back. As said above, mags are expensive IF they can be found, and 15 round mags are really expensive. Good solid guns though, and very slim thru the slide for a carry gun.
