The Israeli FN also wears an SFS these days as well. I am also a fan, and would install one in the FEG, but I wasn't able to make it work due to dimensional differences.
Let's see your Hi-Power...I know your out there

I've been trying to locate some Browning HP 10 round magazines with the ejector springs attached or sold separately.

Soon to be gone
Belgium made Portugal assembled. Such elegant weapons, but I don't want to be a collector anymore.
Something happened to me in Afghanistan and I'm only keeping Glocks from now on.

Hi-Power Uber Alles!
The perfect Hi-Power package.....
.40 S&W perfection with 9mm Compactness. The spare FM Detective slide really makes it that much more better. The combo is great.... all the fun of a 9mm with the serious power of the .40 S&W. Removed the mag safety of course.

BHP- a great gun! S&W 39-2 also a great gun!
Like the title says...both are great guns. The BHP was my favorite 9mm for years, beating out even my 41 byf "Black Widow" Luger for fun at the range..and couldn't beat those double stack high cap mags even though I felt the gun to be a tad "fat" in my hands.
Then....a couple years ago I stumbled onto a Model 39-2 and I was hooked! Even though single stack...the gun was just as accurate as my trusty BHP and now it seems to be a family favorite, but the BHP doesn't get left to mumble to itself in the safe...if son, daughter, in-laws want to take the 39-2..then I'm the first to claim the BHP and off we go...with the same ammo, same range and conditions.....sheesh!....these guns perform!
Nuff said and thanks for asking for pics...man-o-man there are some sweet BHP's posted here. Super nice thread.

Mine shoots very well. But still cannot beat any of my Lugers.
My Byf 41 competition target at 25 meters(27 yards).

great shooting Kurusu
Don't want to hijack OP's BHP thread...but your shooting your 41 byf Luger in competition is way beyond my talents. I always was very careful with my Luger as everything on it was original so if we wanted to take it to the range I would swap and use Mecgar magazines, change the black bakelite, Type 6 grips to some Triple K cheapos, hardly let anyone else handle the gun...even watched no. 1 son very close.
As said....it was fun, and a super great conversation starter every time out at the range, but just got too valuable as a collector item so finally sold it many years ago.
Sorry for another thread drift........keep those BHP's coming.

Here are a few.. L-R W. German Police, Austrian Police, Argentine Police, and a 7.65mm Luger model from the 80's and lastly an Inglis Chinese contract w/stock. The Argentine model has incorrect grips but I have since remedied that.

Although I've owned several BHPs over many years, I've retained this one for its historical value. It's an Inglis adjustable sight variation, made in August of 1945, complete with matching shoulder stock-holster.

Short answer is yes. The first thing that can be done is removing the magazine safety.
Mine has already a trigger pull of around 4 to 5 lbs. even with the magazine safety on so I never removed it.
Get in touch with Cylinder and Slide - They did an excellent job on the trigger of my FEG (Hungarian) clone. Call or e-mail them first to get on their waiting list - it may take some time before they have an opening and you can get the gun to them.

I'm the OP
I had Cylinder & Slide work my MK III to a
clean 3.5 lb. trigger......Amazing Job!

Yep. I believe it was. I can see the second hole on the slide for the pin of the new and more balanced sear lever. I can also see the magazine safety is gone.

There is something immensely sad in this post. Not the "keeping Glocks" part, since I would probably grab my G19 if things went south, but the "something happened to me in Afghanistan" part. I can only imagine the angst behind those words.

Recently I've been thinking that I should get a Hi Power, this thread has certainly encouraged that idea. I should never have sold my FEG, but at least I kept all the spare mags.
I only have one but it's a good one. A 1969 "T" originally bought in 1970.
Most here that follow have seen it before but here it is again. It was bought new, never shot and put away. The original price was under $100.00 and to get it I had to pay under $600.00 more not all that long ago.
I actually found/bought it on my birthday so that was way cool. It was a milestone age that I thought I'd be too old to be. (55.)

What is an SFS? You mention dimensional differences in the FEG. I have a FEG myself, and was wondering if it would be possible to install the FN style slide stop with the forward extension and "tab" that covers the notch in the slide.
