Got my Hi-Power.

[Yournamehere]

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

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.

I love it! Actually, I have a slight preference for the circular hammers, but don't get me wrong...still a beautiful gun.

Yeah I was steering toward a round one initially (I even wanted to replace my 1911s hammer with a Commander style) but I was having so much trouble finding one at a good price that I decided I didn't care what type of hammer spur was on it. I might save up and get a round hammer too sometime down the road.

The FN and Smith & Wesson Disconnects are very different, and while I understand how to remove the disconnect from the Browning, I never figured out how to do it on the Smith & Wessons. In hindsight I believe placing a pin where the ejector spring is to keep it propped up would work, but I'm not sure.

Both my personal and issued Hi Powers still have the mag disconnect (one's a collectible, the other would lead to some very one-sided questions from the quartermaster) - it's not condusive to a good trigger, but frankly you're never going to have a match trigger on a Hi Power anyways. You actually can drop the hammer without putting in a mag, just stick your middle finger up the mag well and press in the disconnect in the front.

I hate mag disconencts and grip safetys, more useless stuff to go wrong.

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.

It's a beautiful gun
