TL111 is the NCAGE code for Alpharms. These import serial numbers begin with their NCAGE codes. Safe to say that all pistols with code TL111 are made by Alpharms.
On the surface, looks like a nice and faithful copy of the FN GP35 MkIII. While I'm equipped for the remainder of my life with the 69C series High Power I purchased sometime around 1974, I do wish somebody deciding to make clones would do a copy of the T and C series pistols prior to the slightly chubbier MkII and MkIII pistols that replaced them. I'm not a marketing guy, but advertising them as a copy of the original T series HPs preferred by most collectors and knowledgeable users would help sell them versus the MkIII copies of competitors. With so many clone manufacturers popping up, the market for people wanting a High Power replica is eventually going to dry up... there's only so many potential buyers.
I can see the rage coming that this manufacturer retained the same features that the Tier 1 operators from the British, Australian, New Zealand, etc SAS, the Rhodesians and South Africans, etc chose to leave in place through 80 years of wars and anti-terrorist operations: The Dreaded Magazine Disconnect, The Dreaded Magazine That Doesn't Drop Free, etc. Our resident Kitchen Table Gunfighting Experts know better than they do! That said, in the civilian world, not the world of warriors carrying them with an expectation they might likely be soon using them in a TIC, we get to not only choose whatever sword we want to have in our hands, but do whatever we want to modify it to suit our beliefs, there's lots of things we can do. That's what freedom and the Second Amendment is about.
It's not my pistol, so I did not fire it. The trigger was OK but the owner asked me to remove the magazine disconnect and that improved the trigger to about 3 or 3 1/2 pounds. Did not measure it though.
Good looking clone, I'm glad companies are making clones of classic metal pistols and not just glock clones

Second world operators need all the safeties.
See this finger? That's my safety....immediately picks his nose with it.....😅
The barrel feed ramp appears to be a bit wider on the FN, and the ramp angle isn't as steep as the CAI?

I am sure someone will like it
Looks like it may have hammer bite issues? How's the trigger? Any idea on the break weight?

@@ThrowingCopperCRA-2022 Thank you. I removed the mag disconnect from my Girsan and the effect is negligible.
@@plantguy100 On some it makes a big difference.
Hardest to cock pistol I ever owned. Crazy!
