Its one year old and in mint shape. Caliber is .40. Looking for the pros and cons to this model and caliber. This will be my first handgun that I will own. Money savings over a new one is significant. Use will be for plinking and personel protection. Thanks

It's the only .40 I've shot, but I was very happy with accuracy of the caliber and a 3.3" barrel. The Taurus came with a 10 and 15 round mag. A lot of firepower in a small package. Greg

It's large enough to get your hand on it properly and to dampen recoil, but it's small enough to easily conceal. I have a slew of "carry" guns, but for the past year, the Hi Power is what I carry. The trigger on a Hi Power can be acceptable from the factory, but quite often they need a little work. If you have large hands, the frame may be a little small for you. But, I think the Hi Power is the best pistol out there for small hands.
