What is the opinions of the Girsan, Fn, and Springfield copies of Mr Brownings Hi Power 9mm? Just curious if there is much of a difference in them.
Would be a casual shooter , home defense, woods walking gun not wanting a safe queen.
If you copy something well sorted to begin

you have to get sloppy to mess it up. Springfield had their maker modify the design addressing some of the minor gripes that amassed over the years. I'm in agreement on every one of them.
that is one I have to disagree with. The Hi

Power wouldn't be one of the most issued military guns in the world if it had any problems other than maybe a minor petty gripe by someone that thought they could do better.
Yeah minor things, disconnect, some other little things.

Note the changes Springfield did and they are little things that make life better. Good sights, better trigger, sear etc.
I found note of these little custom SA-35 touches

"eliminating the magazine disconnect safety (which leads to a better trigger pull), using a rounded hammer that’s less likely to cause hammer bite, a re-profiled beavertail, bevels on the magwell, and a flush-fit magazine that holds 15 rounds instead of the original 13 rounds."
These touches have not been available on a factory production HP, much less one under $1000.
Have to see if I can coonfinger one at Lgs

plus a lot more, for a total of 65 full custom Hi Powers. All based on Belgium Hi Powers. If a person wants a great factory Hi Power the FN or the Girsan are the way to go.
Gary those Hi Powers are works of art!!!
