Silvanus: Beautiful Hi Power! Thanks for the info (and the link) on the magazine safety.
Stephen A. Camp: Thank you VERY much for the link to the article. It was very helpful in my research.
All others: Thank you for your input. It is very much appreciated. I knew that I would get good...
After having lusted for one since back in the '70s, I am thinking of buying a current production Browning HiPower. Anything I should know about them or watch out for when looking at them?
Also, I am looking for a comparison of the HiPower to a CZ75.
Thanks for any guidance!
Make it easy on yourself: go to a shop that has both and hold them both. If possible, rent and shoot them both. Pick the one that feels better to you. Both are very reliable pistols.
My personal pick is the XD. YMMV.
Yes, they are still being produced. My dealer had a used one (appeared to never have been fired) and was willing to order a NIB one for me direct from Colt for $970.
Because of the age of your pistol, it is most likely a "Series I", however an internal extractor is not the indicator of a "Series I" pistol. Technically, there is no such thing as a "Series I" Kimber. They just called any of the newer designed pistols (with the Swartz firing pin safety) Series...

If you can't decide between a Glock and the XD, go to a shop and just hold, or, better yet, rent and shoot them both. I bet I know which one you'll like...
Why would you think that? The XD's all have an ambidextrous magazine release. The only lever that is not ambidextrous on the pistol is the slide release, which a lot of people don't use anyway. There are a lot of people who pull the slide back and release to chamber the first round of a new...
My XD-45 ACP Service Model is the best handgun that I've ever owned, shot or carried. I *highly* recommend it.
BTW - ALL XD-45 ACP models come with the melonite finish, except the BiTone models, which have a stainless steel slide.
First off, I agree that trigger pull is subjective, so everyone's idea of what a "good" trigger pull feels like is going to be different.
This is what I have read and, by shooting both my XD-45ACP and a rented Glock, have found to be the apparent difference between the trigger action of the...
