I am considering adding Hi-Power to my stable. Primary purposes would be winter carry when OWB holsters are doable and a fair amount of range use and pistol classes. It would be replacing a M&P9 I just have never grown to love. I've already shot one and generally liked how it operated. I'm interested in any info for a potential buyer to know ahead of time- best years, best features, things to look for, any particular custom models...

I took a look at the new Nighthawk custom models online, and while very pretty they may be slightly outside my price range.

Many thanks for any help.
