Hi Power Experts

[Sam]

Wow, that's some fancy metal work.

Ned, you can hijack this HP thread anytime.

[HKGuns]

Yeah, your contributions are more than welcome in any thread I start, so not a hijack in the least.

This has, luckily, turned into a decent high power thread with some good information and some beautiful pistols.

[Ned Christiansen]

Very kind of you. Or in Yoopertalk, "youse". (Yooper = someone from the Upper Peninsula of MI).

Don Williams is a great BHP/P-35 Smith..

Yes. Here's mine...
It has an aluminum frame and hard chrome finish. Yes, aluminum can be hard chromed. It just has to be nickel plated first. It has a custom extended safety, 3 dot sights, new springs and is minus the magazine disconnect safety.

I resurrected a shot, T series that had brass shim stock brazed to slide for a FS.
It turned out similar.

Man that turned out VERY Nice. I was going to leave my stock, with the exception of some new grips to replace the shitty Hogue rubber, but now you have me thinking.

I like those grips.

Not so much so on the wood version that is near identical.

I asked B&T about the provenance of these Arms Unlimited pistols, since they imported them. Their answer was "a European Police Agency." They weren't more specific than that and I really didn't expect them to be......

I changed out the grips and installed a new extractor pin that was messed up when removing the extractor. Looks better in my view.
