I am a revolver fan, owner, shooter, hunter and have had little experience in owning semi-autos (1 FEG PPK clone in .380 and 1 Llama full size 1911 clone in .45).
I have been financially preparing to make another handgun purchase in the coming months and feel that it should be a semi-auto (unless a collectible Colt beauty falls my way). I have long been an admirer of John Browning's high capacity design brought to life as the High Power by Dieudonne Salve.
I like the feel, the 13 round mag., the classic looks. I would like to hear from those with experience with this classic, pros and cons. I have an opportunity for what may be a collector grade Belgian made with original rug and papers for a starting price of $750.00. Of course some later models are available for somewhat less, even one in .40. What say ye?
Too fragile for today's defense loads?
Comments on the factory sights?
Problems with extraction unless perfectly clean?
Reliably feeding hollow points?
