P35; could someone recommend a good vendor to send my Browning Hi Power to for a re-blue and new sight upgrade? Hopefully it won't be the most expensive one around! Also who would have Browning factory magazines for the BHP (9mm -- just in case I'm behind the times and they now make it in more than one cal.!) :rolleyes:

Can't help you with a good place for a re-blue, but for mags I would just google for the best prices.

Obviously browning factory mags are good to go, but if you come across Mec-Gar mags don't discount them, they're great! In fact Mec-Gar mags OEM magazines for many manufactures such as Sig (last time I checked anyway:D).

I own a Mec-Gar 15 rounder and it has never given me any trouble in my old school humped feed ramp Hi-Power, even with hollow points.

I'd give Novak's (http://www.novaksights.com/customguns/BHP/modifications.html) a call.

Don Williams at The Action Works, Novak's Cylinder & Slide, MARS Armament, and Jim Garthwaite. I know there are a few more, but their names escape me. Factory BHP mags are very expensive, but they are reliable. Mec-Gar magazines are good to go too, and they are cheaper than Browning marked magazines.

Wilson Combat has installed night sights on BHPs for me a couple of times. No issues.

I have Cylinder & Slide replacement triggers (self installed). Very good product that also removes the mag safety and reduces the pull weight.

CDNN (http://www.cdnninvestments.com/browning.html) has BHP mags. I have the Argentinian mags for range use, and I have had no problem with them.

Thanks guys!
By way of why I need it re-blued, and maybe prevent someone else from doing the same stupid thing -- I went on a 4 day backpack trip with the HP in the backpack. A can of Pepsi leaked and the pistol spent at least 3 days sloshing around in it -- that beautiful deep blue finish ruined!!!:(:(
