The Hi Power is finished

Last year I bought one of those police surplus Hi Powers from AIM. I set aside a budget and went about doing some minor customization. First of all, it functioned fine, and it isn't going to be a carry piece. That defined what I was going to have done.

I sent it to Cylinder and Slide. I had them cut the slide for Heinie sights and install straight 8's. They installed a wide trigger without the magazine safety, and I could swear they tweaked the ambidextrous safety I had installed. Finally, they refinished it in graphite black.

I found a place that custom grips and added a bit of bling.

Here's the result.

Very nice. How does it shoot?

That's a very sweet piece.

Shoots well enough. It's not the most accurate handgun I own, that still goes to the FN FiveseveN, but it does just as well as my M&P and my heavily modified Glock 17.

Very nice HP. A real nostalgic piece that has been updated. Like the finish seems real dark and matted.

Love the grips. What's on the other side?

Great looking pistol.

I totally misread you. When I saw the title of thread, I looked like spongebob when squidward stepped on the crabby patty. "The Hi Power is finished? Nooooooo!"
