just for clarification safety is on when I holster the Hi Power into a kydex holster. Once in the holster I take the safety off, I did this back in the day when the safeties on the Hi Powers was tiny. I happened to carry my Hi Power today, which is a MK3 with a bigger safety, but due to lack of shooting a hammer fire gun very often I took the safety off once it was in the holster. I don't see it as being any different once it is in the holster as a Glock
Does any one here have a MK3 firearms built Hi Power?
I watched their video on Hi Power triggers and it looks like they have an almost 1911 trigger pull.
Here's the Sig X5 barrel compared to the Hi Power. I believe it's a big part of why the Hi Power is less than enjoyable to shoot.

Thickness, locking mechanism, weight or color?
I just bought a 40S&W Hi Power, also 2 KKM barrels one in 357sig and the other 9mm.
It is all going to MK3 Firearms in Vegas to get the barrels fitted and their single stag trigger, with a flat trigger.
The KKM barrels were ordered 0.7 inch longer than stock, the exposed portion of the barrel will get mag-na-ported, then the barrels will go off for black nitride finish.
The pistol will also be fitted with a red dot.
This pistol will fulfill my desire for a 2011 type gun but with great flexibility in caliber. It also fits my nostalgic love of my old issued pistol.

The .40 S&W guns have/had 3 locking lugs as opposed to 2, as on the older 9 mm guns.
This obviously provides a beefier lock up for the hotter cartridge.
If you were going to run a .357 Sig barrel, like Yoni, this is the way.
A lot of guys were doing this with 9mm as well. Advantage being longevity with hot +P or “+P+” ammo.
From memory KKM produces 3 lug 9 mm barrels. (Yoni?)
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
I have a 40S&W HiPower. It has the most difficult slide to rack that you'll ever encounter. I still like it though.
