I never liked BHP, IMO it's an outdated* combat gun. I'd take any quality DA auto over it.

Perfection. How can it be improved?

Perfection? The only thing that could be even closely considered to perfection would be an H&K firearm, or the 1911.

Drugs are bad, Mmm'kay? HK's USP line is based on the HP, and so are all of the top selling best made autos today, the only guns based off 1911's are other 1911's.

As I understand it is a mission specific gun and not issued to everyone. Unless the mission requires a supressed pistol they usally dont opt for an oversized pistol.

Can you name a single significant improvement since the A1 variation (which predates the BHP by about 10 years)?IM_Lugger said:
The BHP may be an old design but that doesn't necessarily make it outdated. When it comes to semi-automatic handguns, most of the innovation in the last 70 or so years has been related to increasing capacity and decreasing weight. The core functionality has changed very little.
All of those are very minor changes.IM_Lugger said:
I'm not convinced that the average pistol manufactured today is any more reliable than the average pistol manufactured in 1911...I was looking at a WWI-era Colt 1911 the other day and the level of workmanship was quite impressive.IM_Lugger said:
With regards to double action triggers...I wouldn't exactly describe them as "improvements" as they serve only one purpose – to reduce accidental shootings by police officers.
lowered ejection port is clearly an example of a design improvement... which is what you ask me for.
You said functionality hasn't changed much which is why I mentioned DAO and DA/SA -- they don't function the same as SA auto. I din't say anything about double action triggers being improvements ...

I don't think that's the reason why DA/SA was invented... it's like with revolvers; DA/SA is a more advanced design than SA, you don't have to like DA more and it may not always be better, but it doesn't chanage the fact that it's a more advanced design.

What a load of BS. The 1911 had been in service longer than any other pistol. The US military still has WWII era 1911's that soldiers (special forces, actually) trust their lives to on a daily basis. Just because there are tons of low quality Colt clones out there doesn't make the original design "bad".gushulak said:
