The only read the Hi Power exists is cause colt had the 1911 patent. It was finally made reliable when that patent ran out and they could copy key systems. It's not different enough for me to consider it a truly separate platform. Kinda like how all striker fired guns are pretty much the same to me. Browning wanted to just re chamber it first 9mm and call it good for the French army but that wasn't possible. Hence, the Hi Power exists.
My point was its plenty serious. 70+ years and counting of special operations use for a reason. Not arguing the glock can handle more mud and shit and stay functioning though.
