Thanks. I do have another of the aluminum framed ones that has the original finish. It doesn't have near as much cosmetic wear as this on did.

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?)
I have a 40S&W HiPower. It has the most difficult slide to rack that you'll ever encounter. I still like it though.
