Not quite, the browning hipower was a later design Browning developed for European militaries to sidestep his own licensed 1911 design that was held by the US military (at least, I think that's the right explanation). It has the familiar drop-barrel action you see in many semi-automatic pistols these days, like the Beretta M9 I used in the military, etc. What I found is, my hands are actually too small for the double-action trigger pull (it has a very wide 15-round double-stack magazine): in order to keep my natural point of aim, I have to cock the hammer by hand before the first round, which pulls the trigger back far enough to engage single-action without twisting my hand on the grip. Otherwise, mine is great, but I would expect it to be so, since the parts have been filed and sanded down to within tiny margins of the exact blueprint design. One day, I might try putting custom thinner wood side panels on the grip: that would probably make the double-action pull work great.
I have owned a Kimber 1911 as well, though: I really loved shooting it, but every time I did anything rapid on the range, trying to simulate a real self-defense situation, I would naturally shoot cross-dominant (right-handed/left-eyed), and it ejects empty shells straight back. It only took about five lodging themselves between my safety glasses and my ballcap and burning the skin to decide it was time to move on.
