I went with 923 HMP over forged, corrected my error when the 925 came out. Absolutely love my 925 forged. I did like the 923 HMP a lot, but I was more inconsistent with distance, just some absolute bombs out of nowhere. the 925 forged have been very consistent and reliable in that area. I have not noticed any real loss in forgiveness, just a couple yards of distance, very minimal. The feel is much better as well.
