I've had several custom HP's. All were accurate, but barrels weren't stock either. All were reliable, but I'd expect that from stock HP's. All had great triggers, but you'd expect that from a high dollar gun. I regret selling mine (to fund more 1911 stuff), and have quite the urge to get back in them. Part of that desire is Newt's Garthwaite. And part of that is my tolerance/hate of the glocks I own. And recently, the debut of the new wilson gun.
The custom HPs did EVERYTHING I could ask for, for less money than the new X9. I've been trying to figure out how to afford the new Wilson, but time and again, I think I'd rather commission another custom HP.
ETA: Your dollar at the gunsmith goes WAY farther on an HP, than it does on a 1911. For example, Karl Sokol's HP package, with stippling, is $750. Add a surplus gun to that and you're out the door for a VERY reasonable price

I just want someone to make a Mark IV version. Different or updated mags, beaver tail, magwell.
My GP mags work well. What would you have be different about them?

A Browning Hi Power Mk III was the first pistol I ever bought. I knew virtually nothing about shooting in those days, but I felt I shot that gun better than anything I had ever shot......until I learned how to shoot. I sold it for a Gen 2 G17.......stupid, stupid, stupid.
I'll own a Hi Power again someday. Threads like this just make me want one more.

pretty poor trigger for a single action
most are not dovetailed
narrow frame so checkering is tricky but people are doing it now
beavertail is tiny
magwell is very small
grip size is almost as short as a g19 but the weight of the gun is immense
safety isn't nearly as good as a 1911
recoil impulse is actually pretty rough compared to a glock
I still like them but would rather have something more modern. I would love to see say a CZ P-09 with steel frame kitted out to be sao
A steel hp weights 32 oz empty. A loaded magazine is 8 more oz.
