browning hi power and 1911 both designed by browning.
hi power handles the 9mm and currently also the .40s&w...the 1911 can handle larger rounds, the .45ACP, .38super and .10mm (bren).....
you can chamber the less powerful rounds for the 1911 but not visa versa....
the hi-power has a 14 round mag and the 1911 in .45 has a capacity of 7(or 8)
the 1911 has a govt mandated grip safety, the browning HP does not.
these guns are very similar single action auto loaders both internally and externally, both designed by the genius that was John Moses Browning
