Browning Hi Power opinions?

I've got two and like them a lot. They point very well and shoot accurate enough that I used mine for my first IPSC match and got 91%.
Bad side, as mentioned single action (though I don't see it as bad, just different) the trigger can suck hard unless you take out the mag safety. Some folks don't like the size of the controls like the old style safety, (fine for me) but these can be changed out.

I've got two BHP MkIII's. One in 9mm and the other in .40 S&W. Love 'em both. Both are keepers. 
Anyone who doesn't get the SA auto pistol needs more time practicing... :lol:
You'd be well served with a CZ, though, too. :wink:

High Powers? Did someone mention High Powers? There is no pistol I can shoot as well as fast as I can a High Power (HP). The 40 S&W HP is the softest shooting 40 I have fired. Regards, Richard

Superior to the 1911 design imho. The CZ is essentially a copy.
The 85 has ambi controls, but that is essentially the only thing going for it.
If you are a lefty, I'd recommend getting used to the right handed controls of most pistols.
Once you have trained enough, it's doubtful you would switch back, or change your use from pistol to pistol.
I'm a lefty, and have a CZ85, still go through drills like I would any other pistol.
My bigest beefs with the CZ is the slide is smallish, and the controls suck.
Without a decocker, I really see no point to the DA on the 85.
At the end of the day, I think if you took both and tweeked them slightly, you'd be happier with a High Power.
Also, I think if you look around, you should be able to get the HP for slightly less $$$$
