    Karl Sokol Hi Power Build

    Back about five months ago I sent a used pistol to Karl Sokol of Chestnut Mountain Sports. I asked him to complete his $750 Hi Power package with a few additions. The 1st special request was to blue the gun rather than paint it. The other option I wanted was to have an extended safety fabricated as opposed to buying something like the C&S extended safety.

    The pistol came back to me yesterday and I wanted to share these pics. Overall, I am pleased with the gun. The work is nice and clean. No frills but rather sensible and practical mods that should yield a pistol suitable for general carry, IDPA, plinking, etc. The trigger is crisp and smooth and measures just a bit over six pounds. Not shocking since we're still running factory FN trigger springs.

    I haven't shot the pistol since getting it back but will update as soon as I have some feedback.

    Thanks for taking the time to visit my thread. Have a good weekend!

    Nice. I snagged a 2" Model 64 a few weeks ago, Karl had modified it. I got it used for a thief's price.

    I'll have to send ya some pics.

    Very nice! That’s how I shaped the hammer spur on my old Argentine, and it never bit me at all.

    Spegel stocks?

    Nice, the hammer is almost like Clark's Meltdown.

    Is the front a gold bead?
