Have heard several people say that Conamyds may not belong on a BHP..... I say if they're OK on a 1911 they must be OK on a P35, but...... these pics may not be for everyone. If in doubt please have a bag handy! Not responsible for keyboards disabled by chunks




Conamyds with hi-grip in front, depth lightened up a bit over the thin spots. Conamyds back, following both contours of the backstrap.

Actually I think it looks great.

Ned, Don't know how you do that, but it looks cool - very "industrial" looking. Best,

interesting, although im not yet sure if i like it or not. i think it might grow on me after a while.

Very COOL! If you ask me!?

Nice touch Ned. I would have no problem having them on my Hi-Power.

But then, if you ask me, which you didn't, the only thing that doesn't belong on a High Power is the magazine disconnect.

Really, I didn't know there was enough thickness in the front strap to do Coneys. Good to know.

barry, its been my understanding that the frontstraps in the last couple years have been a little thicker than previously.

Well, I like it a lot, bet those are nice and grippy, look good as well.

If you look closely you'll see that the Conamyds are shallowed up a tad around the edges.

Hmmmmmm....

Could this be an answer to my question?...

... Please! And lets see some details on that B'tail and hammer mod.

Thanks, BBBBill

Sorry to say this gun is now out of my reach. Did it for an old pal who is also a gunsmith but works on different stuff than me, don't know if he's finished it, doubt it, and it will probably be a while.

But, the beavertail is way high, so the hammer had to be abbreviated in the back. Slotted it too just to lighten it up a tad (but mostly for styling, he did say make it look different).

Gee, if there was any doubt about the combination of Conamyds and a BHP, I have test guns you could have worked on.....

Ned,
In reference to my link I posted, I was wondering if something like "golfballing" could be done on a BHP. I already asked Chuck Rogers, and he doesn't do any work on the BHP. I just figured that if our Simonich Gunner Grips project becomes a reality, it'd be cool to have the "golfball" treatment to match.

Rich

I think yes..... I can see why you would want it. First to match the grips and second, because it is a very useful treatment. Actually I put those in the wrong order.

I might undertake it but only with some consutation with Chuck.

Patrick, thanks, always the selfess one....

The keyboard may be disabled, but by drool, not chunks.

That mod looks spectacular. I think I prefer it to the stippling common to custom BHPs. The only way to know for sure is to try it. Do you have any loaners or need a test subject?

I think this is the only BHP I've done, although I may have done another one. Loaners? yes. I work like the Lamborghini dealer, when you bring your car in for service, you get a loaner. So, bring in a Lamborghini and I'll give you a loaner BHP

You just never cease to amaze me, Ned. Very nice.

Also, I don't know if this is possible (I'm no 'smith, that's fer sure), but if the front strap is too thin, is a pre-golfballed weld on front strap an option? I know they make 'em for 1911's.
FWIW, I got the Spegel grips in and they are being sent to Simonich/Strider today

Rich

Pretty damn slick Ned! How the hell do you do that??

I could tell ya but then I'd have to kill..... let's see here..... Bailey. Alrighty then, I'll tell ya

Ned,

Just trying to help the team.
