Shin recommended them as well, so that's what I went with. I chose a Trijicon tritium front and plain rear which is the configuration I run on some of my other pistols. I found the stock Mk III sights a bit busy, with the three vertical bars. Shin also pinned the front sight. The Lo-Mount rear requires milling of the slide and flattening the top of the firing pin stop.    * Hand Matte Texture on front and rear straps, and under trigger guard - Hand matting instead of checkering is another popular treatment for the front and rear straps on custom Hi-Powers. Hand matting results in a crinkled texture which is non-slip, yet has no sharp edges or corners like checkering. Shin did a beautiful job matting the bottom of the trigger guard and front strap, and all of the rear strap except a portion under the rear tang. He also hand matted the grip screws so they'd match - a very nice touch.    * High cut front strap - I like to have as high a grip as possible, and asked Shin to high cut the front strap. What he did was change the contour and radius the grip to trigger guard transition on the frame under the magazine release button. It's very subtle visually, but the difference in feel is immediately obvious putting it in my hand and comparing it to a stock Mk III.    * Shorten slide stop pin and countersink frame - I shoot lefty, and my support thumb rides along the right side of the frame and comes into contact with slide stop pins. The slide stop pin end on the BHP is quite sharp, and not very comfortable to rest against. Shin cut the pin so it's flush with the surface of the frame, then countersank the hole so I can still pop it out. It's a great improvement for me and looks very clean.    * Dehorn/carry bevel - I don't like the look of 'melted' edges, and Shin did a carry bevel job on the pistol. He took the sharpness off all the edges and corners. The result is best felt by running a finger over the pistol and comparing it to a stock Mk III. In the photos below, you can make out the differences in the muzzle end, slide and frame. No detail was overlooked; Shin also rounded the end of the trigger pin and edges of the hammer. The carry bevel makes it a much more comfortable pistol to carry inside the waistband.    * Smooth and Round rear tang/beavertail - The rear tang/beavertail of the BHP is short, stubby and sharp. If you use a high hold and place the thumb on the safety, chances are the corner of the tang is poking at the base of your thumb the entire time. For people with more meaty hands, a beavertail is welded onto the end of the tang to eliminate hammer bite. Fortunately, I don't need that, and Shin was able to completely dehorn the rear tang. It's much more comfortable now.    * Shape ambi safety - The stock Mk III ambi safety is very low profile. Not a problem when shooting without gloves, but with gloves on, I had problems engaging and disengaging the safety positively and quickly. I went with a C&S extended ambi safety, which solved that problem, but was quite uncomfortable. The right side safety is a huge flapper, with a sharp edge and no conducive as a thumb rest. You can see in the 'before' photo below of the safety that the rear edge is convex. This part digs into the web of the thumb, and combined with the sharp rear tang, was a no-go without gloves. It also looked quite clumsy. Shin did recontoured both sides of the safety, got rid of all the sharp edges and made the previously convex edge a concave one, which is how it should have been designed in the first place. The 'after' photo shows the extent to which he modified it. A really fantastic job.    * Bevel mag well - Not only did Shin bevel the mag well, but he removed the ugly grooves on the bottom of the grip.    * Reliability - Reshaped and polished internal parts, polished feed ramp and chamber.    * Tune springs for good trigger.    * Bead blast and blue - We went with a bead blast and blue on the entire pistol, for a non-glare finish and better purchase on both the grip and the slide than the original epoxy finish.Una hermosura.PD: Tienen algo malo las HP de FM?</blockquote>
