Correctly Scaling the Hi-Power's Trigger Break

Interesting vid, BUT, I can guarantee you ain't gonna get a trigger reading off a stock Girsan MC P-35 using one of those gauges. In fact, only way to get a reading involves pulleys, cables and tractors. I simply can't believe the same guy that designed the 1911 trigger designed the BHP trigger AND the atrocious magazine safety. Maybe it wasn't him since he died before completion.

I've got the Girsan P-35, and while it's extremely reliable, the trigger pull + mag safety is ATROCIOUS. Not only does the mag safety drag so hard on the mag face during trigger pull, it prevents the mag from dropping freely with the slide locked back. So when yah fire the last round, yah gotta dig the flush fitting mag outta the bottom of the grip before you can reload. Only things worse than the trigger, mag safety, and striped ramp front sight is Girsan + EAA customer service. They make Taurus look good! Anyway, my mag safety fell out + that's my story.

What was your trigger pull before & after you took out the mag safety?

Best to report a before & after condition.

BTW - If you didn't know, all that you described is typical of the BHP design whether its an original or the Girsan copy.
 
Nooooo, you're both wrong!!! You can do that on a BHP but it ain't happening on a Girsan. Now you guys figure out why not and what you have to do to get it out. That's what I had to do. I'll expect yah finished in 10 min.

If you're inexperienced with the BHP design (which you appear to be) take/send it to a gunsmith who is.

When I was living in N.MN I had a gunsmith who didn't know what he was doing in installing C&S parts. I was not satisfied with the trigger until I moved back to my current location & found a gunsmith skilled with BHPs and fixed things.

So, it's up to you to decide what to do.

You guys are the know it alls that informed everyone I didn't know what I was talkin about + the job could be done in 10 minutes. Well it can't, you're wrong, it doesn't work like the BHP safety removal. Seems there's only one person here that does know what he's talkin about (me) + he already removed the mag safety from his P-35. So figure it out yourselves!

So—you can’t explain what the differences—if any—are.

Gotcha.

I’m sure you know what you’re talking about, though./sarcasm font off/

@jarhead127 relax with the negative tone.

These other members are trying to respectfully share their experiences with the BHP and you have been firing back with attitude which isn't productive to the conversation.

Respectful disagreement is allowed on the forum but the back and forth banter is not.

Well I see my response to the so called moderator was deleted. How asinine! I didn't attack anyone that didn't first attack me. They also pretended to know what they were talking about when in fact if you punch the lower trigger pin out of a Girsan, as mine is in the pic, then remove the slide, push the trigger lever left then back, nothing happens. The mag safety and spring does NOT fall like it does on a BHP. And I know this cuz I actually own one and performed this task instead of shooting off my mouth like others who think they know but are clueless.
