Item Description: Hi,
I am relisting one of my Hi Powers. The gun is a MK III that has been to Novaks to have the slide milled for their sights, with a tritium front and standard rear. The action has been cleaned up, Cylinder&Slide safety, fitted hard sear, and Wolff springs. All pins were also replaced. The grips are VZ G10's in cherry. Fit and finish are excellent. The pistol has 1 13rd OEM mag and 3 15 rd Mec Gar mags, Mec Gar makes all of Browning's mags. This is a pre Portugal roll mark. I also have a very nice custom Tucker&Bryd IWB holster.

The primary trade I am looking for is a 92/96 series Beretta with dovetailed front sight. Other than that, I don't know.

PM me if you might be interested.

Thanks man. It is an excellent shooting pistol and a great carry weapon.

Did cylinder & slide do the action work?

No, I did it. Hi Powers are easy to clean up if you have trigger/sear jig and a good knowledge of how the trigger linkage works. I have done several of these over the years to both my Hi Powers and my buddies. The real trick is the hard sear; Browning OEM sears are only surface hardened and will not last after stoning. A fully hardened sear from either EGW or C&S will take stoning better and last forever. The trigger is still at 4-4.5lbs depending on what springs you use for the hammer and trigger springs. I use Wolffs, but at full strength. Removing the magazine disconnect can help, and polishing the contact surfaces on the trigger and sear levers really improves the creep/grit in Hi Power triggers. C&S also makes excellent hammers with very straight hooks, but this particular pistol had a good hammer to start with, so I didn't replace it. C&S also has a excellent wide trigger that I have on another Hi Power, but I have found the stock trigger doesn't rub leather in the holster the way the wide ones do.

Well not to sound petty after all this technical knowledge... but good call on the cherry cola grips lol. They look sharp with bluing. I have a set on a 1911.

Thanks Chris, I like the VZ's too. Good grips at a very good price.
