I love my BHP (a MKIII with the teflon finish) and shoot it quite well, but the trigger is heavy at around 7 lbs. (even with the mag safety removed) and the reset sucks. Is there any way to get shorter reset on a BHP? Also, does anyone offer a similar finish if I get the gun worked on? I really like the slick factory finish.

You are in the right place. The gentlemen at Yost-Bonitz Custom shop can indeed shorten the trigger reset on a BHP. Enjoy the pistol.

My answer would be, yes, but it's quite a bit of work. But YoBo and Don Williams have more HP experience than I do.

Yes it can be done. I've handled a couple of examples that Ted has done, and I own one. It's quite an improvement and worth the money.

Ted does a nice HP trigger with a short reset. Seriously.

(Note to Ted - send endorsment check.)

+3 for Yobo. I have 2 of Ted's BHP's and the triggers are great.

+4

I had mine out today! Amazing!

C&S also offers some pretty neat Hi-Power work to include a trigger package. Their internal parts are used by many of the smiths that post here. One thing that Bill does is relocate the pivot pin for the transfer bar to change the geometry.



Note the second hole in the slide for the new pin location.

I would trust Yo-Bo or C&S with anything in my safe.

I am a hard core BHP fan and I have either had my guns modified by or inspected the work of the best Hi Power gunsmiths in this country. Garthwaite, C&S, Don Williams, Ted Yost, and even Ned have put out some nice guns. The list is a lot longer, but you get the idea. The major flaw in the Hi Power has always been the trigger reset. I've seen the fix for that problem aproached in several ways too. The C&S wide trigger, little set screws, all sorts of welded up or bent over trigger modifications. In my "research", I've had several guns that were so finely tuned that they would either fail to reset at all and thus not fire unless you racked slide and messed with the safety to get the sear and sear lever reset, or they would double, triple or go for the full 13 rounds with a single press of the trigger. That was one fun IDPA match. The first bad guy was definetly neutralized, but I was disqualified for scaring the crap out of the SO.

Then, one day my long lost 1969 commerical BHP came back from an extended visit with Ted Yost. I picked it up, felt the stippling, looked it over good, racked the slide, pulled the trigger, racked it again, let the trigger out for reset, heard the "click", pulled it again and realized my search was over.

There is usually a bunch of ways to solve a problem, but only one way to really do it right. When it comes to fixing the overtravel and reset problems inherit to the design of the BHP, Ted is the only one I know who takes the time to weld up the trigger and modify the inside of the frame to make his modifications perfect and permanent. I know have two of these wonder nines and a third pistol ready to go off for another modified SRT package. When you finally get a hold of one, you know the gun you hold in your hand is done, finished, complete. No more modifications necessary.
