In what instance will too much oil cause a firearm to function worse? It will not, unless it's attracting debris. Excess lubrication is wasteful and can be messy but it is not a problem worth worrying about, and is far better than under lubrication which will cause actual issues. Your oil turning black means what could have been a hard carbon fouling is now suspended in the oil. That's preferable.

That is an interesting tidbit that also makes complete sense. The FEGs confirmed to us long ago that they were not reverse engineered. And they struggled to conform to a lot of tolerances, compared to FN, which would be expected on older equipment.

@bhspringsolutionsllc555 ya it was actually in 1973 they got the final license agreement with FN to finally start production. So quite awhile after WW2. This info was uploaded a couple years ago by a guy from Hungary named "Laszlo" on the "HiPower Collectors" forum.

Tip: To hold everything in the right place when installing the tiny safety spring, you can use a toothpick to wedge against the other parts so they don't move around. Put the wedge on the right side of the frame. The wood is soft enough not to mar anything.

Everybody has mixed reviews but in a real gun fight nobody cares where thr brass goes. I was in thr millitary and in combat nobody was thinking about where the brass went. As long as it function and fires in basic conditions it should be a great weapon for protection. High point included i know people with reasonbale guns that are better than have the name brands out. Its a new day new manufacturers are making better guns for great prices.

Not your best video. I just installed a BHSS trigger in my SA-35. Now starting to do the fine tuning with the trigger lever etc. None of these installations are as easy as they look but then it isn't something I do everyday either. I am amazed at how so many small pieces work together so miraculously. I can't begin to grasp how one engineers something like this. What I have found is that it takes me several hours to complete one step in the process, beginning with getting the roll pin installed. Don't even get me started on the trigger lever and spring although even those are finally done too.
@wc587Ай бұрын
Boy, just blow right by how to get that trigger spring roll pin in, LOL. That is the hardest part of installing the new trigger. Fortunately Amazon sells a set of roll pin starter punches for about $10 and free shipping. Interested see how they work out.

What we really need is a slide stop that will not lock open before the magazine is empty because of modern thumb placement which controls recoil. There is no need for the firing side hand to drop the the slide stop. That is done with the support hand as the magazine is seated.The firing side thumb stays on top of the safety.

Interesting information, even after 50 years of using the FN HP in both policing and the military in peacetime and in war, and now everyday carry in civilian retirement. While I enjoy the nicest, most crisp trigger pull and letoff on all my pistols as much as anybody else and am happy to invest money to get it, the reality is that these highly prized and sought trigger pulls have very little relevance to professionals and the professional use of any general issue firearm in war, specialized counter-terrorism operations, and policing. There is a massive difference between enjoyment in recreational/competitive use and the reality of the two way range. The difference between the toys at play, and tools that go to work. The trigger pull specifications for the FN High Power is that the trigger break is not less than 5 lbs and not more than 8 lbs. That is true whether it is the original WWII manufactured Inglis pistols still in service in Canada or elsewhere, or the more recent MkIII High Powers the UK purchased (prior to converting over to Glocks a few years ago) or other police and militaries purchased. The trigger pull specifications remain 5 - 8 lbs still today. I have no idea what it is for the current MkIII Turkish knockoffs being imported, but probably very similar. Coincidentally (but almost certainly probably not), the trigger pull specifications for the M16 family of assault rifles as issued by the USA, Canada, the UK's SAS, etc is ALSO a trigger pull of between 5 - 8 lbs. It remains so today after 60 years of lessons learned in Vietnam, the Cold War, assorted brush wars, the Gulf War, and now during the continuing War On Islamic Terrorism throughout the world. It would seem that the military and police professionals of the free world have come up with common 'lessons learned' regarding characteristics of the weapons they will issue to those in uniform who will be using them on the two way range where the losers go home in an aluminum box. They have concluded that, trigger pulls should be no less than 5 lbs and no more than 8 lbs to address the reality of fine motor skills being replaced by gross muscle strength from the effects of adrenaline, as well as heightened heart rate and blood pressure while under the stress of combat. If any military, counter-terrorist unit, or police force feels that trigger reset, 'crispness', or other trigger pull attribute other than weight of pull is important enough to write specifications for it on the FN High Power or M16 variant service rifle, I am not aware of which country has done that. The reality is that even among the world's most skilled counter-terrorist units, very few professionals are so skilled and so practiced that the optimal trigger pull characteristics desired by civilians would make a difference when those professional trigger pullers are engaged in a TIC. If it would - they would make that part of the weapon's specifications. We are to a point that, almost universally now, the most professional units in the world are quite happy with double action striker fired trigger pulls. The crisp, 'breaks like a glass rod' trigger pulls of single action 1911s used in Bullseye competition, FN High Powers, etc are now just a delight for citizen amateurs and platform enthusiasts. That's still exactly what I want, and I don't see any striker fired pistol ever in my future no matter how high quality, but it's not prized by the professionals who go to the two way range. As for the amateur kitchen table gunfighting experts and gunsmiths lamenting the "dangerous" magazine disconnect; one of the enjoyable privileges of being an amateur civilian rather than a professional police officer, military, or counter-terrorism operator is you not only get to choose whatever handgun you want, but whatever you want to do to alter it after purchase. You aren't stuck with what's issued. What's telling about the claims of the kitchen table amateurs regarding the magazine disconnect is who in the real world disagrees with their amateur assessment. A short list of the world's professional users of the High Power who have chosen to keep the magazine disconnect rather than remove it as kitchen table amateur gunsmiths and gunfighters do includes: - Britain's SAS, including their counter-terrorist unit 22 SAS. - FBI Hostage Rescue Team when they were armed with custom HPs built to spec by Wayne Novak. - Rhodesian military and Rhodesian SAS with their decades long border wars with Marxist terrorists. - Australian SAS, including during the Malaysian Insurgency, Vietnam, Ireland and Afghanistan and Iraq. - New Zealand Sas, also in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. - SADF, including their counter-terrorist units during their decades long brush wars with terrorists. - Special Boat Service. - Royal Marines. Removing the magazine disconnect might result in a pistol the kitchen table amateurs believe is better suited to their civilian needs - their pistol, their choice. But the above is a long list of professionals who have carried the High Power into 80 years of wars and taking out terrorists that show the ridiculousness of those claiming it is either a danger to those professionals or leaves them at a tactical disadvantage. If that claim were true, at least some of those on that short list above would have had their gun plumbers remove it. They didn't... and you can't claim they didn't because they're not as tactically aware as amateur kitchen table gunfighters and gunsmiths who only operate on the civilian one way range. BTW, the complaint that the magazine does not fall free when the magazine release is pressed? That's a deliberately specified feature - not a "bug". Just as it is a feature on the M16 platform of weapons used throughout the world rather than a tactical bug. On a weapon intended for combat rather than competition, professionals DON'T want magazines to fall into the mud, undergrowth, sand, etc at their feet whether standing or on the move. They want it retained so the user can stuff the mag in a pocket or a dump pouch to be reloaded for reuse when there is a break in fighting - that's why they also issue more ammunition before the fighting starts. Anyways, I appreciate the knowledge and products this company brings to the table which is well beyond what will be found in the military and FN pams covering the High Power. Now as a civilian, I'm happy to be able to choose whatever modifications I want to make to my personal High Powers to make them more enjoyable for recreational pleasure use while still being good to go for everyday carry. Thanks, BHSpringSolutions! For the springs and other products, as well as the background info. (if you didn't make the end of the hammer on your SFS setup so fugly... I might even consider going that route if it looked more like the ring hammer. But on the svelte, classy High Power, it looks like dressing Farrah Fawcett in a Taliban burkha...)

I have had a buffering guide rod from Springco for my C series High Power for almost 20 years (so I'm not in the market), and I have both metric and imperial hex key sets. So this doesn't affect me, but... given the cost of this custom gun part and the cost of single hex keys when purchased in bulk... why don't you include the appropriate hex key with the remainder of the parts? Just asking, because just about everything I buy these days where allen keys are required for assembly/use, the manufacturer provides one of each hex key size required. So much so that I have a little container on my bench full of all the hex keys I've accumulated with purchases over the last 20 years or so. For tightening/disassembly, a wrap of emery paper around the tube (grit side in) will allow you to grip the tube with pliers without slipping while you tighten or loosen with the hex key. The emory paper prevents the pliers (or vice if you're careful not to crush the tube) from marring the outside of the tube.

Been carrying FN HPs for policing/military, and now civilian since the early 1970's; don't know much about springs other than military pam info on springs. With your focus on recoil springs (which the military calls the main spring) and other springs, the military specifies a length for the gun plumbers to check during annual first line maintenance servicing: "Check the main spring (2) to ensure it is free of kinks; has a minimum free length of 101.85 millimetres (4.10 inches), and that the first coil grips the main spring guide assembly." And: "Inspect the firing pin spring to ensure that it is not broken, kinked or rusted. It shall have a minimum free length of 41.91 millimetres (1.650 inches). Replace defective firing pin springs;" A recoil spring shorter than that specified length or failing visual inspection is replaced. I am not aware of any military procedure/gauge used to check recoil spring performance other than the length measurement. Anyone purchasing any of your recoil springs can measure and note the length on arrival before installation, but do you have measurements for your springs which would tell the owner the recoil spring is due for replacement? Measurement of these springs with vernier calipers only takes a moment during routine cleaning.

Sooner or later you have to make your own HiPower. The old ones will break and maybe those changes slowly bring you there. Maybe you can add something like the usp dual spring buffer idea into it. Don't forget about all the CZ 75 based pistols like Tanfoglios that are still different and come in lots of calibers. They would definitely benefit from your optimized products.

Just picked mine up and was really hoping for better quality. The trigger reset had 2 very quiet audible clicks and would reset at the end of the travel. After research, I filed a few .001’s off the top of the trigger lever and this moved the reset to the center of travel and allowed it to make an audible click that I could feel with my finger. The sear lever should be free floating in the slide but mine was not so I stoned the finish off each side that touches the slide and that fixed that. Next is the (hard?) sear, that locks the hammer back has slop in it so when you pull the trigger you hit the wall and then you have a small amount of grittiness and than the trigger breaks. Almost like the 2 parts don’t mesh together. So either the sear needs to be shimmed up somehow or the hammer needs to be filed down to match the sear. Not sure if I’m gonna mess with it but I’m definitely not dealing with sending it back. I’d say if you’re in the fence and have the extra cash, just get the FN.

Looks like you guys are having fun! But. I can't fine John Z to follow-up on My SA 35 project??? Thought I'd try here. George Moilanen
Sooner or later you have to make your own HiPower. The old ones will break and maybe those changes slowly bring you there. Maybe you can add something like the usp dual spring buffer idea into it. Don't forget about all the CZ 75 based pistols like Tanfoglios that are still different and come in lots of calibers. They would definitely benefit from your optimized products.
Will these springs work on a TA 90 with decocker?
What a waste of a delicious watermelon. These stupid tests don’t tell me anything .
It's good to see you guys working on data based BHP solutions! I really do need to get at least 1 of my clones sent up to you for your special magic.
Thanks for the message. 1-877-423-BHSS when you're ready! Mark
where did you get that add on Rail for the officer?
The sear lever spring is very nearly impossible to attach & install in the Hi Power. It would be easier to put an Oat Straw in a Wild Cats rectum. BHS SPRING SOLUTIONS should take down this item for sale.
Exelent Bulgarian product👍
Just picked mine up and was really hoping for better quality. The trigger reset had 2 very quiet audible clicks and would reset at the end of the travel. After research, I filed a few .001’s off the top of the trigger lever and this moved the reset to the center of travel and allowed it to make an audible click that I could feel with my finger. The sear lever should be free floating in the slide but mine was not so I stoned the finish off each side that touches the slide and that fixed that. Next is the (hard?) sear, that locks the hammer back has slop in it so when you pull the trigger you hit the wall and then you have a small amount of grittiness and than the trigger breaks. Almost like the 2 parts don’t mesh together. So either the sear needs to be shimmed up somehow or the hammer needs to be filed down to match the sear. Not sure if I’m gonna mess with it but I’m definitely not dealing with sending it back. I’d say if you’re in the fence and have the extra cash, just get the FN.
Excellent video.
Get to the point. Rambling drove me crazy.
Wow... now I know why I will never sell my Glock...
Will this Rail Fit on the Arcus Model’s?
You have mounted a Picatinny adapter on the High-Power. As I have a High-Power myself, I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Can you give me a tip on where I can get one? Thank you
Mine shoots low left but the groups are just not very good at all with any ammo I’ve tried
Appreciate the update on the SA*35 and the humor 😂
So, given these results, any chance you'll release a drop-in 357 SIG barrel for the .40S&W Hi-Power?
That looks to me like somebody cut the spring down in an attempt to make the slide easier to pull. I encountered this on a friend's 1911, he cut the spring to try to make the slide easier, not realizing that the hammer spring is really what you're fighting against.
This gun has become my new favorite #1 gun, ahead of all my cherished Glocks, Colts, Hk’s and S&W’s. #2 is my CZ 75 B and BD models.
