You are correct, sir.

Oops...
Oddly enough, I've been searching for a high power for almost a year now. Two actually: one to be restored, and one to be customized.
I do like the pistol quite a lot. But I can't escape the fact that mechanically it's a POS.
Now, about the high power not being that successful, that would bring us to Sevens's question: how do you define success in a weapon?
I would think the high power, having been used by many countries (91, actually. And it
was used by the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team

As per having been used by militaries or police departments, that says nothing about a gun, other than the political abilities of its manufacturers. That said, it has been, and still is used by both, in many countries around the world.
