"Nothing measures up to the Browning Hi-Power in 9 mm."

You are entitled to your opinion, but not entitled to the facts. Which are, it was never that great of a pistol, and even less so today.

OK, support your argument with facts as well.

Why was it never that great a pistol and less so today?

(Satisfied Browning owner here.)

I was told in College that the definition of great literature was that it had stood the test of time.

If that is a good way to gauge greatness, then the Hi-power is great.

They have a bunch of great features including the fact that it is easy to hit with and the grip is possibly the most comfortable one ever. It was also one of the first high capacity combat pistols.

Also extremely reliable, and durable.

About the only knock on the design is the trigger is often mediocre. A problem which can be fixed.

Sounds like the opinion to which you are entitled! I stick with mine.
