1911 I dislike the trigger in Hi power and not in love with 9mm
It does not group well
JMB just wanting to do one more gun design, and really fell short of his other genius creations.
the .40 hi-power frame was designed for .40
9x19 mm caliber platform with a considerable amount of magazine capacity which fits to many different shaped hands and conceals pretty well despite of its' service size dimensions.
Custom 1911 and CZ-based pistols have dominated IPSC for a reason.
The CZ took the basic layout of the Hi-power and improved the lockwork, gave it DA capability and made the ergonomics more user-friendly. And added two more rounds to the magazine without increasing the size of the gun.
I think most here will agree that you've just perfectly described the CZ-75 platform.
I have two CZ's a 75B and compact PCR and a factory Silver Chrome Hi Power. The BHP is closer in size to the compact CZ with a slighty longer barrel. Its slimmer and the single action trigger is better than the CZ. DA doesn't add anything to the design and there is nothing wrong with the BHP's SA lockwork that needs improving. I love my CZ's but the Hi Power is just special.
That said, a friend has a BHP with quite a nice trigger action. He doesn't like it because of the "long reset" but that does not bother me. He won't sell it to me, though.
