Um, Skeet, the Hi Power is single action. . . at least the classic design is.
I have one, it was the first auto pistol I ever bought. Mine is an old WW2 model, Wehrmacht proof marks, that had seen hard times. The bore was pitted, the gun obviously had been reblued. I got it at a reasonable price, dumped the barrel and put a Bar Sto barrel in it. Changed the sights for some you can see. Now it shoots well.
I confess I don't use it much. I prefer single action autos, but, I kind of don't like the round grip a pistol has when the grip is wide enough for a double stack magazine. Just personal preference, I suppose.
My 1911 gets shot a lot more than my Hi Power.
