This one just finished and going to the customer soon. I don't get too many requests for electroless nickel these days, but this one has sort of the classic 2 tone look of a few years ago.

Beautiful work. Elegant. Tastefully understated. What more could a fellow want?
Is that a 1911 Novak rear?

Gorgeous and well thought out blue/nickel P-35 Don! The detailing and stippling are amazing, the owner must be proud to carry one of your custom P-35 creations!

BBBBill, Yep, it's a Novak 1911 sight. I use these on the MK III and earlier guns with the adjutable sights. I have to cut a small window to clear the hammer ala' Heinies sight, but the MKIII Novak is too small, and the MK II sight will only work if you fill the original dovetail. Thanks,

Beautiful gun!

I think the two tone look actually works better on the Hi-Powers than it does on the 1911s.

Fantastic looking Hi-Power, Don. I really like the blue/electroless nickel 2 tone. Well done!

Mr. Williams.. Very nicely done. I'm a big Hi-Power fan and you have managed to add fuel to that fire. I'm sure the owner will be greatly pleased. I know I sure would be..

Best Regards...

Wow, that is just sweet. I used to pass on adj sighted HPs thinking it was too much hassle. Great answer to the dovetail "problem" and thanks for sharing! I kinda like the nickel and blue.

Wow is right! I'd really like to stick that in a Summer Special and carry it around for a while.

This High-Power reminds me a lot of my FN/FM called "the Bastard." The frame on my FM went south and Alex Hamilton put it back together. I hope you enjoy your new BHP. Regards, Richard :D
