I have not had a HP since the 1970s. Would probably look at another one but still two major objections... First is the tang...it is just too short and I've been hammer bit several times over the years shooting friends guns. The second is the manual safety...not quite large enough and I don't like the fact that there isn't a positive detente like on a 1911.
The safety grew since the '70's of course, along with some extended aftermarket versions, and there is a détente.
