I just recieved "the" notice from Jason at YOBO Intergalactic HQ that my
BHP was enroute home. I can smell the bitter whaft of expended ammo now. Napalm in the morning? Fuhgeddaboudit!!
This is MY victory perfume.

I expect to spend a wife annoyingly amount of time at the range next week.
Thanks to all at YoBo House.

Joel Ariel

Great news!
(That's more out from in front of mine)

Great news!!

Mine has just jumped up a notch, too .....

So it's Monday and I have been fighting an Al Queda force cold; coughing, sneezing and in general acting like the poor benighted slob in the NyQuil commercials.

I have just swigged some cough mixture right from the bottle, nevermind the plastic shot glass they include with the foul stuff.
Maybe I'll try to get a nap. Old sick guys NEED a nap.
There goes the doorbell. I struggle to my feet kvetching and bitching all the way to the door and it's the FedEx lady.

Suddenly I feel pretty damn good. My BHP has returned from the YOBO
laboratory. But this aint no Halloweenie Franken-shooter.

Well it has more than met my best expectations.
A LOT more.

This Hi-Power is a pip.
There is an XS "Big Dot" Tritium front sight that fills the rear sight window EXACTLY.
LoMount Novak rear sight with rounded notch opened up in a "cup" shape to match the "Big Dot" in the front.
The sight pix are clear and clean and very easy to acquire.
Very practical.
(Gives a cool green glow without lighting up the room like a PRNK Kim Ding Dong etch a sketch nuke)

It's radiused all over and not a rough or sharp edge anywhere to be found. High cut radiused grip and it is "sharked" front and back.
It's got the hand beveled mag well and a super-comfortable built up extended beavertail that signals to me that the decades old scar on the web of my right hand is not going to be opened up and extended any longer.
An oversized custom strong side safety feels,...well. Custom.
The birdsong Black-T is soft looking and subtle and the re-crowned barrel is both a finished and right looking touch. A skeleton hammer adds the salt to this already perfect, Browning stew.


So am I happy? Would I give Ted and his crew another?
Bet your butt I will.

The downside is that I am a very low tech old guy and I am having a full contact, steel cage deathmatch with my digital camera. I have taken a few dozen pix and so far it looks like it will be a while until I get something that looks like a little like a Yost Custom Hi-Power product.

Bear with me. I am no Steve Bailey. (But who is?)

As soon as I whip this cold I am off to the range to test this beauty.
I am embarrassed and afraid to have coughing/sneezing fit on a hot firing line.

I'm a very happy(pass me the kleenex please) fella.

Joel

Joel,

If you could stand the separation anxiety, send the pistol back to Steve to do the pics

Enjoy your work of art.....mine is getting closer!!

Since I'm waiting for mine to return, one might think that I wouldn't want to read about other's guns that are coming from the same place, with similar work, and hearing all the details. You might think it would make the wait more painful.

To the contrary, it is great to see. It makes me all the more convinced that I did the right thing and made the right choices. If I'm half as happy as people like Mr Ariel are, I know it will all be worthwhile.

Congrats, I hope you feel better soon, and am looking forward to that range report.

Barry,

And ... that's one more out the door which pushes yours up a notch

Hi Barry,

Mr.Ariel? Hmmn?
That was my Abba.(father)

Not only do the Yobo guys do great pistol work, they enclose snacks.
My BHP's box was packed full of nice crunchy white and pink marshmellows.
Tell you the truth, they were a little stale, but what with the cold and all,
I chalked it up to that being why I could not really taste them.

Joel
