Don't worry, I "acquired" (forcibly took using a melonballer and a Case brand hunting knife) a working pair in the handful of minutes between the time you posted and now

More to the point, have you ever actually held one? It fits in ones hand like a dream, generally speaking at least, some people with huge hands might have a problem cause of hammer bite etc, but there is really nothing I can think of that has a better grip, and very few guns come close. |

Won't Back Down is probably the only good Eminem song.

As much as I don't like and avoid these threads, I'm catching messages that are striking some minor chords with me.
First of all that statement about Eminem and that song is pretty subjective. Second, in relation to his themes and sound, no, Wont Back Down is kind of weak as it's very pop-ish with regard to music and lyrics as his entire new album is. The fact that they used it in the marketing for Black Ops doesn't help me give it more credit either... |

According to TV Tropes, Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef were going to play henchmen in Once Upon a Time in the West and then get cut down by Harmonica (played by CHARLES BRONSON). That would have been awesome!
From "WhatCouldHaveBeen/Film": • The three henchmen at the beginning of Once Upon a Time in the West were originally to be played by Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. Let me rephrase this: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly step into Once Upon a Time in the West, acting all tough and badass — and get shot down five minutes into the movie by the Harmonica. But since Eastwood was unavailable, Sergio Leone scrapped this |

As far as functional accessories go, a Springfield Loaded has bigger sights (also non night sights) an ambi safety, a 3 hole trigger, and perhaps a beveled mag well. A current Mark III will have an ambi safety, comparable sights, as well as a finish superior to parkerizing and in some ways stainless steel (epoxy coating), but it will lose out on a better stock trigger and mag well. I don't know how much beveling a mag well would cost (I imagine not much, but if you're going to be a true trigger snob, all triggers need work, and comparing anything to a 1911 trigger is unfair really. Not to mention the Hi-Power is A: in the wondernine category and not the 1911 category with these features further justifying its price, and B: a single action wondernine, a pretty exclusive category which appeals to those in favor of the 1911 battery of arms (quite a few people I'd say), so when you factor that in (as well as the price of a Loaded 1911, anywhere between 800 and 1200 dollars next to a Hi-Power which has a lower price range than that) the Hi-Power isn't that unreasonable, not considering what you have established as your (extravagant) taste. Yes, you can get a Glock/Beretta/Ruger/S&W auto new or used for a few bills less, but aside from being wondernines they are really distinct from the Hi-Power and in some ways the Hi-Power beats them out clearly (I'll attest to shootability and accuracy as well as stone cold features), so given that and the fact you bend over backwards for guns more expensive and slightly more effective (in some ways less) than others in their category, you're not being entirely reasonable in disliking Hi-Powers. |
