I must differ from the above posts. Based on the 40 Hi-Power that I own I would advise against buying it. I also might add that I have several 9MM Hi-Powers that I would not give up. Of the nines , 3 are customized by "famous" gunsmiths who are commonly recognized as top craftsmen. The 40, which was an early one, will not group at all but rather patterns more like a shotgun. I will tell you that it was written up in a gun magazine and the tester , to his credit, reported it exactly that way. It had also been thru the hands of one of the very top pistolsmiths and he and I both feel that the gun is as many that are being reworked into calibers that they were never intended to use, not the way to go. If you want a Hi-Power, and who wouldn't, my recommendation would be to buy a 9MM and pass on the 40.
