Scorpion: sits nice and low and is surprisingly well balanced for Its size. Average trigger. Powerful and quite accurate with practice and familiarisation. Ages prematurely due to the easily scratched plastics.

HW45: sits too high for one-handed use. Looks good and is very well made. Dual power option is a boon. Very accurate and powerful. After market grips transform handling. Trigger is sublime.

LP8: poor construction, unwieldy and a dreadfully heavy and unpredictable trigger.

LP5: never had the pleasure

Browning 800: bin.
Agree with that. Have owned a Scorp and 45, read about the others.

I think the 45 can be OK one-handed, though. Bore line is high, but weight is fine (1.15 Kg, which is about 2.5 lbs).

I’ve had a few of the regular Diana 5s. I’d really like a go with the Magnum. I think they might be quite nice.
