I have a different perspective. First center fire semi I bought was a high power. I was influenced by the movie Serpico which tells you how long ago that was. Thought it was the coolest thing on the planet until someone handed me a Colt 1911, immediately traded it for a Colt Gold Cup and never looked back.
Fast forward to 2007, decided to get back into 9mm because of time constraints on reloading and the ammo was cheap. Started looking for a new high power but holy cow they now cost 1K.
Looked at alternatives and decided on a CZ 85 combat because of these advantages:
1. Half the price.
2. Inherently more accurate, at least for me.
3. 16 rounds instead of 13
4. Same ergonomics.
5. DA/SA.
6. No mag. Disconnect.
7. Ambi safety
8. Adjustable sights
I think the CZ 75 and it’s clones have made the high power obsolete. Just my 2 cents.
By the way I still think a 1911 in .45ACP trumps all others except maybe a 1911 in 10mm.
