Charles,

I purchased a .40 BHP a few years ago. Unfortunately, not at $400. My stock barrel shot 170 -175 gr TC cast bullets very well. 165 and 180 gr jacket bullets hammered. The stock trigger and sights were acceptable.

I found the pistol a bit much with full power carry loads - hammer bite and torquing. I sent the pistol to Don Williams of The Action Works who stippled the front and rear grip straps; relieved the rear of the hammer and shortened the hammer spur; installed Heinie sights and Spegel grips and performed a superb action job.

When I'm not carrying a 1911, I carry this pistol. Not as slim as a 9mm, but a smaller package than most 1911's. Additionally, it's a Browning design.

5000 cast bullets - what an outstanding reason to buy a new pistol!

Regards,

Mike Cornell
