Completed this Browning Hi-Power recently for a patient gentleman who had wanted a customized Hi-Power for a long time. Some of the work done:

Carry trigger job with Cylinder & Slide hammer/sear
Slide/frame fit tightened
Cylinder & Slide extended safety
Extended beavertail
Stippled front strap, back strap and below trigger guard
Gold plated hammer and trigger
Novak tritium sights
Entire pistol dehorned
Blued finish with polished slide flats and all else matte
Hogue cocobolo grips

The wonderful photos were taken by Point Seven Studios in Toledo, OH.

Thanks for looking!
Richard Fletcher

That is about the sexiest Hi Power I have ever seen. Very nice job! If it shoots half as good as it looks, your customer will be back for another, and another, and another.

Wow. Looks great. So just curious, you sent the pistol out of state to get it photographed? If so, I can it was worth it. Has to be the best pic of a HP I have ever seen.

Regards,
Greyson

Point Seven is well known for their fantastic photography of handmade knives. In this case, it seems as if their gun photos are exquisite as well.

Richard...that is an astounding Hi-Power you have put together!! I definately need to make the 2 hour drive up to Lexington to meet you. I absolutely LOVE that town and was practically raised there on the campus of VMI while my brother was a cadet there, and now I have one more compelling reason to come back! Judging by the reputation you have, and by the looks of your work, it may be a very expensive friendship!! :) --John

Richard that is very possibly the most beautiful Hi Power I've ever seen!

I'm planning to order a Hi Power in the next month or so and will definitely be giving you a call.

That is one Beautiful Pistol! I could never own something like that...I'd put it in a display case and never fire it.
