New "CDNN" FN Hi Power

Just got this. Great deal from CDNN. Here are some pics. I have replaced the recoil spring with a Wolff 18.5 # and the hammer spring with a 28#. Also changed the FP spring. Polished (very lightly!) the hammer and sear with a ceramic stone. Trigger pull is now about 5 lbs. down from what must have been 8-9 lbs. Also took out the mag disconnect. Very happy with it so far. Great overall pistol. This is my first HP, other than the Indian Inglis clone that I got before this one. There is no comparison to the fit and finish of the FN to the Indian. Also sporting the CDNN cocobolo grips. For $30.00, they are really nice. Have a palm swell/thumb "rest" that seems to fit my hand better than the stock flat panels. Also added some skate tape to the front and back straps. I know it does not look the best, but it sure works.

Deez.

Very nice. I just wonder, haven't the Hi Power makers ever heard the problems with the short "beavertail" thing and this hammer? I mean there are people who would love the HiPower, but stay away from it, just because of that combo pinching the web of their hand. Is it so difficult for them to extend that tongue a bit and install a round hammer?

I remember firing a friend's pistol some years ago. That thing was really painful.

I also recently purchased an FN Hi-Power from CDNN. I got the SFS model, and the price was amazing, given the quality of the weapon and the normal market price they command now. I fussed and fussed about buy it, since I already own a Browning-marketed Hi-Power and a Charles Daly clone, but I'm really glad I finally succumbed.

I have a question, Is the BHP (FN) from Cdnn the early single action version or the S&W trigger set up. I'm not at home now and on borrowed computer, so research is not to good. Thanks Bill

Hello. His Hi Power is the single-action.

Best.
