They are fine pistols. I've always installed the Cylinder & Slide "Combat" wide trigger in mine, which, in the process, does away with that pesky mag safety, thus improving the trigger pull by a substantial margin.
It'll be a while before I do anything like that. Besides, the trigger pull on mine is actually pretty good.
As an interesting (to me) aside, I have the movie Eichmann on DVD and the Israeli police captain doing Eichmann's interrogation is shown shooting a Hi-Power. It didn't seem to me like he was a very good shot.

The ground was, I determined, finally dry enough to drive on, so taking the Browning (OK, it's not a Browning; it's an FN) and six magazines out to my range today, I gave it a workout.
Except for one failure to extract, the pistol's functioning was flawless. It was accurate at the close range I was shooting at, and it handles recoil well. I tried some one handed shooting and noticed a tendency to rotate counter-clockwise as the gun recoiled.
When I first shot the pistol several days ago, the recoil tended to hit the index finger tendon rather hard, but I did not notice this quite so much today.
A brief word on the UpLULA magazine loader: it works and works well. I was able to quickly load the one magazine I had kept empty, and it was much easier to use than the loaders the various manufacturers furnished with their pistols.

On the failure to extract, it is relatively easy to replace the extractor spring. It is generally a good idea to do so with a military surplus Hi Power of undeterminable round count.
