I like it better than the other recently reintroduced Hi Power guns but am not likely to end up with either. As much as I admire the Hi Power I've survived for almost 78 years now without one so am not likely to wind up with one.

yup if they were selling them for 500 bucks i might consider it. But high dollar guns dont do much for me anymore and i sure dont need another 9mm that costs big money

I already have more 9mm guns than I need so kinda doubt I'll be getting anymore. But I do confess to having a desire for one of those newer Ruger Max 9s but looking at the trigger arrangement I doubt I'd buy one. That trigger is just too far forward in the trigger guard to suit me. Every time I get one set up like that I find it not to my liking and get rid of it.

I wish I could find a way to fit the larger capacity magazines into my LC9. I love the trigger on it. One of the best I have on any semiauto, I guess my Walther .45 acp is better but not sure any other is unless it's that trigger on my little LCP with the colored trigger. I can't remember if it's red or blue. Danged CRS.

The high power I had was a
mechanical miracle except for
the magazine safety and the
small hole in the barrel

One of the best handguns I
ever had
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

That one is nice looking and from what I've heard the fit and finished is pretty good and shoot even better. Wouldn't mind having one but not at some of the robbery prices some are asking. If they come down nearer suggested retail I might think about it.
