Century Arms has just announced the Centurion 14, a Browning Hi-Power clone with the lowest price tag on the market.
The past few years have seen a resurgence in popularity of the Browning Hi-Power. Girsan has released a slew of classic clones and modernized models, Springfield Armory launched its SA-35 and even FN itself came out with a completely modernized, BHP-inspired High Power. All of these 9mm pistols have their pros and cons, but even the most affordable among them has an MSRP approaching $600. What the market was missing was a basic clone at a low price, and that’s where Century Arms’ new Centurion 14 comes in.
As a true clone, there aren’t many features to speak of if you’re already familiar with the original Browning Hi-Power. As such, the Centurion 14 is a 9mm single-action-only pistol with a double-stack 15-round magazine and a 4.66-inch barrel. It features a ring hammer, Novak-style 3-dot sights, a black polymer grip and the newer style of external extractor. Compared to a lot of the clones to hit the market recently, that’s a pretty plain Jane Hi-Power, but that’s all that a lot of people want. According to the slide markings, the pistols are made by Alpharms in Turkey.
As mentioned, the main draw of the Centurion 14 is its price, as it has a stunningly low MSRP of just $409.99. Each pistol will ship with a magazine, a hard case and some cleaning supplies.
