I had an East hartford Citation and now have a Mod 41. Both the Hi Standard and the 41 are great pistols but I prefer my 41. As has been stated; the H-S is dependent on a pricey magazine that MUST be tweaked to the pistol. Also, the recoil spring is of small dia; tends to rub in it's channel wearing it thinner and should be changed every 20k shots or so. Last; the Hi-Standard frame can crack on the right side where there is a thin area with a relatively sharp inside corner; especially if high velocity ammo is used or the recoil spring weakens. If it cracks the frame is done.
