for sure, and i'll wait that out just like i largely have with the ammo.If the past couple of years have taught me anything, it's that all of these will be snatched up immediately and resold at scalper's prices.
Im hoping we will get one in at work at somepoint. Sometimes the distributor tries to sell us "new" stuff and we get lucky... I think Id like one of these. Of course Id need to add an ambi safety...for sure, and i'll wait that out just like i largely have with the ammo.
Good grief. People like that should just buy the original.It’ll be a while before the supply overcomes the demand. I’d give it a few months. The weirdos on gunbroker are already bidding $1,000+ on these before they’ve even made it to the retailers.
Can't. @wvsig has them all.Good grief. People like that should just buy the original.

Come on man I am down to like 15.... I think.
You mean moving assembly to Portugal around 1973-1974? LOLTruthfully more interested in the SA than an "original". To me its hard to call one that when Browning farmed out production. But thats just me [emoji2273]

No i mean Belgium. He had the greatest designs but he let everyone else build them. He got pimped out of his own trademark which is why the bhp triggers suck.You mean moving assembly to Portugal around 1973-1974? LOL
LMAO 😂 you clearly are not well versed in the history of the BHP or how JMB chose to design and patent guns but please keep posting nonsense.No i mean Belgium. He had the greatest designs but he let everyone else build them. He got pimped out of his own trademark which is why the bhp triggers suck.

I’ll be picking one up at some point. Looks like they did a really nice job w it. Price is at a point where alot of people will be able to get one.
For me, it’ll be a shooter and my Belgian built hp will become a 99% full time safe queen.
This.
I'll wait until the dust settles and also see what other 'variations' they release in the next year before I buy one.
Sorta hoping for ambi+beavertail on one. I'll skip the rail thanks anyway.
....Im really hoping an ambi safety will be compatible. Thsese just sound better and better.Hear are Jason Burtons thoughts on the sample he received. I talked to Ted Yost yesterday about them. He has not seen one on person. He is pretty much a FN only guy. We both agreed it will be good for the market to have more options.

Hhhmmm thanks for the warning, Inwas always under the impression C&S stuff was quality tooThe problem is that there are really no good ambi safeties out there for the BHP. The C&S part is grabage. The best one available is the FN part from the MKIII. The Best ones are bespoke levers made by people like Don Williams and Ted Yost who build an ambi lever on the FN OEM part. Do not buy the C&S part. Trust me on this.
Hhhmmm thanks for the warning, Inwas always under the impression C&S stuff was quality too
Ooooohhhh... I understand now.They are but the ambi safety is just not good. If you are a high thumbs shooter and use the lever as a rest, the C&S passenger side lever is a torture device. I supposed it would be good for the thumbs low shooter, because the paddle would be way out of the way and thus less likely to be bumped upwards during recoil.
The problem is this: When C&S added the lefty lever, they somehow situated it asymmetrically, so that it now sits much higher and further aft on the frame that the driver's side lever. The result is that to shoot with your thumb resting on the lefty lever, you need move your thumb straight up and rotate the joint 90 degrees forward in order to rest the pad of your thumb on the lever.
I would still waitI got the email about having them in stock at 3. It’s 8 and there out of stock. Even at $1000. My wife told me to get it . She is paying for it for Christmas. I told her give it 6 months and the price will settle down. She simply said it’s not your money being spent . I really like her. Lol. WarDawg.
Great info! Thank you.These are pics from Jason Burton AKA Heirloom Precision's Facebook page. Some of the best pics out there right now showing the details on the pistol. The gun had a 5lb 6 oz trigger out of the box. Burton did a quick trigger job with factory components and got it to 4lbs. As I posted above he said that the parts look to be tooled steel and do not show tell tell MIM or casting lines or marks. The front sight looks to be beveled to the slide which is a nice touch on a production pistol. This is outstanding news IMHO.

This is the most interesting pic for me. It has some tells about how SA redid the pistol. It looks like the press in barrel cam is still present. You can see its faint outline. The frame is also drilled for a lanyard loop. To me this is a tell that this frame is being made by someone else for SA who is also making frames for another builder because there is no reason for that lanyard loop to be present on a gun designed primarily for the US commercial market. If anyone has a Tisas it would be interesting to know if it has a lanyard ring drilled into the frame. Once the EAA Grisans hit the store it will be interesting to check them as well.

Here is a good look at the rear sight. Looks like a Heine Pro Slant knock off.

The thumb safety looks to me to be very similar to a 1911 lever. Looks good for those who like to ride the thumb safety. You can see a nice detent which should give it a better click. I hope that they specd the frame to have less material in that area to better capture that ball on the safety giving it a more 1911 feel. In the past the only way to achieve that was to do it yourself or have a smith do it and install a stronger spring and a new part like a C&S. Seeing this on a stock gun is nice.

Here is the beveled magwell. Note the fit of the grips. The gap is very typical of BHP grip fit. The grips look a bit thick to my eyes. Thicker than Spegels. Certainly thicker than Navidrex slim Micarta.

Trigger weight post Burton trigger job on factory parts using factory springs. It will be interesting if it holds once he shoots it.

Both the FEG and India versions of the HP have a lanyard ring. Perhaps they are the source for the unfinished forgings that are completed at SA Inc? I believe the most recent Argentine HP deleted the lanyard ring.
