I never expect to even see one and could never hope to own one, but that is one beautiful pistol and its lines indicate it would feel as nice as it looks.
BTW, the markings appear to be etched, not stamped, a common European way of marking guns (pre-war Walthers were etched, for example). Jim |

The AR I spoke of suffered a non functioning set trigger because the lube got gummy seating for years. I have not experienced this with standard/stock AR's. Just an example of the higher attention needed for such a thing. Reliability goes down.

Design limitation can be overcome by material and workmanship but at what cost, initial, long term in the form of maintenance and qaulity of ammo. It can be said better results can be had with the more suited design.

I'm not 100% sure about the markings, but I believe they are etched. You can see it when you magnify them. They are very finely done, as is everything on the pistol. The only other pistol I own that has markings so fine is my 9mm Korth. Last edited by bac1023; September 9, 2015 at 11:45 PM. |

A dual sided trigger bar, design, will have less flex than a single sided. Everything else being equal the dual will be stiffer.

All else is not equal. The Korriphila HSP may just be the highest quality pistol ever built.
It's very certainly one of them. It has about the nicest DA/SA trigger I ever felt. Last edited by bac1023; September 10, 2015 at 07:36 AM. |

How does the HSP workmanship compare to Paul L of pistoldynamics.com?

Some guns have TWO hammer hooks (i.e.,two points of hammer/sear interface) while other designs use a slightly different approach and have a single point of hammer-sear contact. That one point of contact can be very narrow or very wide, depending on the design. If there's only one point of hammer/sear contact, the trigger bar design seems less important than if there are two, because even if there IS flex in the trigger bar (not likely, given the materials used on most trigger bars) the sear and hammer are still going to move crisply, as they're kept precisely aligned by the sear assembly and the hammer assembly (how they are mounted) in the frame, and that doesn't allow the trigger bar to have much effect on alignment.
Your intuitive knowledge of how guns work and your understanding of the materials and techniques needed to make a gun perform well doesn't really trump the demonstrated performance of the guns cited above. Last edited by Walt Sherrill; September 10, 2015 at 11:50 AM. |

While Paul has a unique flare that sets his guns apart from a standard 1911A1, the Korriphila is Budischowsky's own design. Again, it's hard for any 1911 to compete on that scale. Hope this helps... |

Pretty good answer Brian and after lusting after one of Paul's 1911s for quite a long time it really says something about the HSP. Especially knowing the level of your collection and having the privilege of checking out quite a few of them. |

I still can't get a roundabout idea of the feel of the HSP trigger. Compared to an older Colt Python how does it differ In SA and DA?

Comparing it to a revolver is apples and oranges though. |

I can't say I have ever seen another semi-auto offered in a frame machined from a solid block of Damascus steel. pretty cool.

I generally keep trigger pull weight stock. Lowering the pull can cause a number of issues. One issue being inconsistent pull weight. Paul L appears to make a high consistency pull.

It's not hard to give a 1911 a consistent trigger pull. I'd be lying if I told you that I understood what point you're trying to make here. Could you please explain in layman's terms the meaning of your posts? The trigger on the Korriphila is one of the nicest DA/SA triggers I own and I own quite a few. To use your word, it's not only great, but also very consistent. |

The rarity and lack of pro/con comments makes for difficult understanding of the HSP. It's like not having enough data points to go on. Just the same, appreciate your various reviews much.
