    Are the Turkish ones very inferior? Is it the build quality, the finish or do they just ‘feel different’ ? I understand they put out more power.

    I haven't handled one of them but from the pictures Ive seen they look more crudely finished than the uk made ones. also read reports from owners that they feel rougher to cock and shoot than the uk ones.

    Having seen the price Broadway had that up for, I’m glad I got mine when they came out…

    People have differing opinions on Turkish Tempests. I have 3 Turkish (Centennial cased ones, one of which was bought off here), and am happy with all of mine.

    Maybe they were a bit more hit and miss in terms of QC? Don’t know that for certain as I’ve never shot anyone else’s Turkish one. External finish is on par with the UK ones on mine.

    Its my first Turkish tempest although I have plenty of original tempests,to be fair the quality of it is better than i expected after reading other reviews of them, the biggest difference is the effort needed to cock it which is more on par with a mk1 webley pistol so I'm guessing it has a stronger spring,haven't run it over the chrono yet to compare with an original but will do at some point
