New BHP
- Thread starter 71velle
- Start date
Well, I won't be buying 'cause fuck Springfield yet I find the re-release interesting. Given the recent rise in the popularity of double stack 9mm 1911s, or as some call it the "2011" I have long wondered what we would have now if the High Power had seen all the development and tweaking the 1911 has had. Get rid of the dreadful magazine safety, develop 15 round flush magazines and I don't see why a refined version of tge High Power wouldn't be superior to a 9mm 1911. That will never happen though, too much time has passed, other 9mm platforms have become too established for it to make sense but it all seems a missed opportunity to me.

Same - I've always wanted a HiPower but waited too long to get one. This looks really good, but Springfield... ahhhh. Will wait and see what people think. Price point looks nice.
I need another 9mm gun like I need a kick in the nuts, but it is what it is...
I've had 7 BHPs through the years and I'm now down to my original one. Probably going to head on down to the dealer to see if they have one, just for giggles. This is like the PTR MP5K that I bought recently. My BHP and MP5 were the perfect pair way back when. Don't need it, shouldn't be buying it, but it's like an old girlfriend . . . wonder what she's like now?
Does the High Power have internal frame rails similar to the CZ75?
