I've owned 4 of them over the years. I don't care for them because they bite my hand badly with either the roweled or spurred hammer to the point that I am bloody every time I shoot one. It, and the Walther PPK series, are the most painful handguns I ever used because of hammer bite.
The factory safety is small and stiff to operate.
The ones I owned had heavy triggers, which I understand are a function of the magazine safety. Personally I don't care for a magazine safety.
The magazine safety also prevented the magazines from dropping free.
I understand that a couple hundred bucks of gunsmithing can solve most of these problems.
Maybe the new HP's are better, but I would never own one again. It was a brilliant design when it was introduced but there are better options today as far as I am concerned.
But lots of folks love them and love makes the world go 'round.
