The HP seems to be design that holds similar cult status to the 1911.

But why is that. Now I'm not so much interested in its place in the grand acheme of firearms design, I mean what sets it apart when it comes to shooting.

So what makes the HP a gun people enjoy shooting?

(this thread is in no way influenced by the fact a Hi-Power is presently advertised for a song!!
