Got my Hi-Power.

Oh! I didn't see the wear on the top of the slide. I need to start paying more attention

Actually it is pitted. There are several tiny holes in the slide, which I don't think would be taken care of by rebluing. I've seen/heard about some ways to fix the pits, but I honestly have no idea. Gonna take it to a few stores and see what they say. I tried to take the disconnect out myself today as it's an eays procedure, but the trigger pin is stuck in really hard and I'd rather have a smith look at it. As far as the sights go, I actually think they'r eperfectly adequate. They aren't Novaks but they are a ways bigger than the Government Model sights, and they look damn cool.

Other than the pitting, it looks perfectly fine

A little wear gives it character. Gusn are meant to be used. Just take out the mag disconnect and you'll have a beteer trigger, and well, you wont have a stupid mag disconnect.

I don't think I even own a non worn/scratched guns. It's not because I'm not careful, but because I'm too cheap to buy anything new

I've gotten to the point where I don't care much about finish wear or rub marks, but pitting is in a league of it's own. It's kind of like the difference between scars and zit pop marks.

I do agree that the magazine disconnect is kind of a dumb idea but I never minded it in my 5906 because I could lower the hammer with the decocker. Since the Hi-Power is single-action and has no decocker, if I want to lower it, the mag hast to be in, which is really annyoing.I definitely intend to get it taken out once I have the means.

How would you go about taking out the mag disconnect? The one on my 4506 is getting on my nerves

[Yournamehere]

All you have to do is take out the trigger group and then pull out the mag disconnect, from what I understand. It's relatively simple, I just couldn't get the trigger pin out after a few taps with my punch and hammer, so I gave up before I damaged the gun.

A HP can be done with a pin removed and slide it out...the smith, no idea. I hate mag disconnects since they give you a disadvantage. If you bend feed lips on magazine and cant get the mag to seat right or feed, you may need to load one at a time into the chamber.
