Thank you very much. The link is very helpfull. I can see the pin in the trigger on my older BHP so it looks at though I may get the easy fix.
Thanks for the gunsmith recommendation also. I am needing to have a rifle re-barreled, I'll chat with them about that too.

Dear Mr. Camp,
40 years ago I happened to be in a gun shop in Eugene, Oregon and spotted a used BHP for sale (wow, 40 years went fast). It was made in Belgium with serial #1147XX and was in pretty near new condition. I bought it and to the best of my recollection paid less than $100.00 for it. It is a standard model with fixed sights. Over the years I have used it as a sidearm on fishing trips into the High Sierra Nevada Mountains, a personal and business defence weapon, and a great plinking pistol with dozens of dead ground squirrels and rattlesnakes to it's credit.
I have never liked the magazine safety and want to remove it, and would like to update it a bit without taking away from it's intrinsic value from the historical perspective. I have found a couple of "how to" instructions online for the magazine safety removal, but those articles don't include detailed pictures or diagrams, and I am fearful of messing up the gun. Can you direct me to a comprehensive description of the procedure? You seem to be so experienced at it that it is almost an afterthought for you. By the way, your web pages dedicated to the Hi Power are a terrific resource.
Do you know of a competent pistolsmith in the Fort Worth area for trigger work or other customization on the BHP? I really prefer not send the gun off for work.
Thanks,
