If you are shooting a Browning High Power in 9mm (great gun!) then the 1911 type .45 is going to be a natural fit for you. And despite all the mucking about with modern pistol design it doesn't get much better then the 1911. As you have already show remarkable taste in handguns I might also suggest the Sig 220. I prefer the 1911 but the 220 is deserving of an honorable mention.

There will come a time when you realize that both your pistol and your shotgun are only designed to fight your way to your rifle. When you reach this point you will be ready to join the fellowship of the AR.

Not necessarily. Angle between barrel and grip is very similar, but the shape of the grip is very different. 1911 is relatively long and skinny, HiPower is short and fat.

For me, at least, it's the difference between feeling "right" in my hand, and not. I greatly prefer the HP.

I used to love my Browning High power as well. It got lost in the boating accident with the rest of my guns. A Sig P-226 in .40 is a nice choice as well. It got lost, too.
