I read that it's huge - bigger than the OG Hi Power. Can you confirm?
Looks great, though. Probably an awesome shooter.
The new Hi-Power clone being made by Springfield has no magazine disconnect. Fabulous trigger, almost like a 1911. I picked one up, but still prefer to carry the 4" EMP CCC.
I want one. I just have a hard time justifying another pistol.

It just came out. About a week ago Barnes & Noble had it on their " New Fiction" 30 % discount shelf and I got another 10% off as a B & N Member. So far it's surprisingly good :
Google Review:
"A top secret F117 aircraft crashes into the Nevada desert and the Soviets will do anything to get their hands on its secrets....In East Berlin, a mysterious figure contacts the CIA with an incredible offer...Deputy Director James Greer can only trust... one man - Jack Ryan...but ( now) he's in enemy territory with a professional assassin on his tail ..." .

9mm Hi-Power
FN has come out with a new version of the Hi-Power. This one comes with a 17 round magazine and is a bit longer ( 8" vs. 7 3/4" ) and a couple of oz.s heavier. View attachment 880153
9mm Hi-Power
Looks like about double the price of the Springfield. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that.
I have a WWII FN Hi Power and a Glock 43x. I had a 17 and sold it. The Hi Power is obviously the more beautiful of the two, but if I was betting my life on it, I'd take a Glock any day of the week. It's not even a question.
On a related note: I have historically disliked Glocks because they are so damn ugly, but the 43x is probably the best concealed carry pistol I've owned in terms of that perfect balance of size, firepower, accuracy, and concealment. Would definitely recommend it.

There are differences, but not huge differences. Changing grips could make an impact. I am getting some G10 grips for my meaty mitts with stubby fingers to try. This will show the exact changes......

If true, why do I never see a stock Glock and why does it have more aftermarket parts made for it then other gun?
