Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mini spur hammer modification on a Browning Hi-Power?

A mini spur hammer modification involves reducing the size of the factory hammer's spur on a Browning Hi-Power, often serrating it for better grip, and blending it for a cleaner profile. This reduces snagging while maintaining usability.

How is a single-stage trigger job performed on a Hi-Power?

A single-stage trigger job on a Hi-Power typically involves adjusting the sear and hammer engagement for a cleaner break and a shorter reset. The trigger itself may be stretched slightly to improve its position relative to the trigger guard.

Can an ambi safety on a Hi-Power be converted to a single-sided safety?

Yes, an ambi safety on a Browning Hi-Power can be converted to a single-sided safety by welding up the unused side and then bobbing the remaining safety lever for a more streamlined appearance and function.

What are the benefits of serrating the back of a Hi-Power slide?

Serrating the back of a Hi-Power slide, especially when combined with existing sights, can improve the shooter's ability to acquire the sights quickly and under stress. It provides additional grip points for manipulating the slide.
