I'm going this way. Joe

Many thanks, guys. Any purchase would be for a "keeper." I have my EDC. This pistol would be, I believe, my only centerfire semiautomatic pistol. I had been leaning slightly toward the CZ, but I have small hands. Informing me that there is a drop-in 9x19 conversion has made the deal.

One question: Bar-Sto's conversion barrel also has three locking lugs. Am I correct that submachinegun ammunition and +P+ would not cause abnormal wear to the Browning?

I think the 40 Hi-Power also has a heavier slide than most 9x19 Hi-Power's, but I dunno about shooting sub-machine gun ammo in one, assuming you could find this ammo. A 40 Hi-Power converted to 9x19 should be able to handle +P and +P+ ammo better than a run of the mill Hi-Power.

I have and love both, but $550 for a CZ75d is a little high around here, while $550 for a Hi Power is a deal if it's a Belgium made gun.

I don't think you'll find "sub gun" ammo - well, you might, but why?

If the springs are replaced at regular intervals, and given that the .40 Hi power has a cast frame, there shouldn't be much of a problem shooting higher pressure ammo.

I have an Israeli police trade 9mm HP with cast frame.
