bh springs sells them. quite comfortable for shooting even being a southpaw.jhb,
what grips are those?
they look a lot like what I was told was a pre WWII factory option. thumb swells were not quite as aggressive. Gun they were on had full Belgian markings and Waffen amt marks so I suspect it was sitting in the factory when the blitz krieg got it. Yes oval firing pin retainer piece and all that jazz.
No pictures I sold in in the late 1970's.

I was just looking at these surplus HPs. I really want one but cant accept the 13 rounders. My state limits my capacity -infringes down to 10 rounds. I wonder about after market mags.
Just about the only two things I know about Hi Powers are: (1) I want one; and (2) this site is often praised as a source of info: https://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/
The late Mr Camps site is very good. It is still maintained by his widow last I heard. She still sells his old materials as well via the site. It is getting a little dated these days but still good info.
While the info may be "dated" it is accurate for the BHP, which has not changed in design in decades--and will not now that it has been discontinued! If you enjoy Stephen Camp's writing style, you will want to read all the articles on his site. Very informative-- just remember-- one man's perspective. I ordered his illustrated BHP disassembly guide a few years ago. His wife sent it right out! Very nice and useful for a full (to bare frame) disassembly and reassembly. It comes on laminated card stock so it's easy to have handy on the bench. I don't think I could have replaced ALL the springs and removed the mag safety without it. Quite a resource!
My Israeli Surplus which I got from Dans Ammo.

That's nice. The ones I've been seeing aren't.
My question for you is do these surplus guns serve as a good platform to have some work done to them and make them nice again?
