I've had two High Powers.
The first was a Belgian made 1950's vintage which had been modified by King's (added a S&W adjustable sight) in Pasadena for it's original owner, an LA LEO.
The LEO sold it to a gun shop long after he retired and tha's when I got it. He was barely out the door when I bought it.
I loved the pistol and had it until I let my youngest daughter try it and she refused to give it back. It replaced her S&W Model 19 as her carry gun.
My second HP was one of the first ones in .40 S&W. While it shot well, the recoil spring was kinked into an "S" shape and was always hard to install. It looked like a reliabilty problem waiting to happen. I also didn't care much for the plain black finish on that HP so I sold it.
What has your experience been with HP's in .40 S&W? Has Browning ever addressed to recoil spring kinking or is it a non-issue?
