Description
The Tisas Regent BR9 Nickel Wood 9mm is an all-steel, single-action Hi-Power pattern pistol in a nickel finish with wood grips. It brings a classic look and feel to buyers who would otherwise pay far more for an original.
Tisas Regent BR9 Nickel Wood 9mm Overview
Tisas is a Turkish manufacturer that has earned a strong reputation for faithful, affordable recreations of classic designs. The Regent BR9 follows the Browning Hi-Power layout: a steel frame and slide, a hammer-fired single-action trigger, a 4.67-inch barrel with a 1-in-10 twist, an overall length of 7.87 inches and a weight of about 31.7 ounces. It holds 15+1 rounds and has a thumb safety and dovetailed white-dot front and serrated tactical rear sights.
A Classic Layout
The Hi-Power has been in continuous use for nearly 90 years, and its slim double-stack grip remains one of the most comfortable 9mm grips ever designed. The Regent copies that geometry closely, so the pistol points naturally for most hands.
Nickel and Wood
The nickel finish gives a bright, polished look that resists rust well, paired with traditional wood grip panels. Nickel can show scratches and can wear on high points with heavy holster use; it rewards owners who wipe it down after shooting.
Single-Action Operation
Carry is cocked and locked with the thumb safety engaged, like a 1911. The trigger pull is single action only. Practice sweeping the safety off as you present the pistol. Hi-Power triggers are not as crisp as a tuned 1911, and the Regent is typical of the type.
Magazines and Holsters
Distributor listings disagree on whether one or two 15-round magazines ship in the box, so plan to buy a spare. The Regent generally works with Hi-Power pattern magazines and holsters, but confirm fit with your specific holster before carrying.
Value Versus Originals
Original Browning and FN Hi-Powers sell for much more. The Regent gives you the same design for range and collection use at a fraction of the cost, though resale value will not match a Browning.
Break-In and Care
Oil the slide rails generously during the first few hundred rounds. Clean the nickel with a soft cloth rather than abrasive products, and keep solvents off the wood grips.
Choosing Between Regent Models
Tisas offers the standard Regent in black or nickel with wood panels and the Sport model with G10 grips. This nickel and wood version is the dressiest of the group and the one most likely to appeal to collectors of classic military and police pistols.
State Laws and Ownership
A 15-round magazine is over the limit in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, Washington and other states with 10-round caps, and some states require roster approval for new handgun models. Check your state and local laws before ordering.

Before You Buy
Federal law requires handgun buyers to be at least 21 years old to purchase from a licensed dealer, and every pistol we sell ships to a local FFL for a background check and transfer. Hi-Power pattern pistols can bite the web of the hand on some shooters; test your grip before a long range session.
