I have a BHP's both in .40 and 9mm. I've taken the MDS out but the triggers,while much better, are still heavy compared to my 1911 (STI Trojan). As for the HP mags, the factory mags have a spring and not only drop free but shoot out of the mag well.....after market mags, not so much although removing the MDS certainly helps.
While I like both, for what it's worth I find I can normally shoot a higher score on a bullseye target with the 1911.
As to which to buy I'd say it's more of a question of both intended use and personal taste.
