New member with a new High Power

[rhubbarddds]

A friend of mine introduced me to the browning High Power and I decided to pick one up at Tulsa this year. This is a 1977 Belgium made that I bought all original. After some fine gunsmithing by my friend, this piece now has a 4.75lb trigger, a C&S hammer, mainspring and sear kit, ambi safety, and some VZ grips. I haven't taken it to the range yet with the new trigger job, but I've dry-fired a few times to feel the trigger and, let me tell you, it's smooth as silk. I like the VZ grips, but eventually I'd like to pick up some spegels. Also, we'll install some Heinie strait 8 night sights, but those are on backorder for now.

Rhub,

That's one fine Hi Power. I think that you'll love the Heinie sights and that you'll find good groups easier to make once you can actually see the sights. I like the VZ grips a lot, but Spegels on a blued HP are something very special. I can definitely see why you'd want to do that. I hope that you keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for the photo post and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the purchase of your BHP. BE WARNED....one BHP leads to two...then three...then(we all know this sickness/addiction).
