Have a few AR's. They're OK. Just never really went nuts over them like seems to be the norm. When I was working at a couple of different LGS's, got really tired of the expectation that I was to 'speak fluent AR'.
It got to be a little too much for me, talking to people who want to spend an hour waxing eloquent over 'piston vs. direct impingement', 'co-witness sight system', MagPul vs. Noveske accessories, Beta mags, etc.
Know what my favorite .223 is? a 1969 Remington Model 788. Shoots great. Is simple wood (birch probably) and blue steel.
On my second Browning HP, an early 80's model with an aftermarket Millet adjustable rear sight,
I was lucky, removal of the mag safety resulted in a very nice trigger.
It is quite a bit more accurate that my Colt Combat Commander 9mm.
Have fun deciding. It's supposed to be fun.
I actually just sold my M&P 15 Sport. It's a really nice carbine, accurate and 100% reliable. But I'm always taking my AR15A1 out instead. I just prefer the 20" barrel and a full buttstock. I think the best configuration may be the Canadian C7: an A1 upper with a shell deflector, 20" HBAR, and round hand guards.
While I like the mystique and lines of the HiPower, I'd go for the CZ or a Sig P226. Much better triggers.
