He is one of the best BHP guys. Sounds like pretty fast to get started on it too. I would have a 9mm barrel fitted for it, then you can shoot both.

The 65T series has been at Estate Sporting Limited for about 10 months. Though i chose the completion date. He could of had it done back in december.

Fletcher custom pistold has the 1995 mkIII in 40 s&w. His will take about 8 months. It will be getting a 357 sig barrel fitted.

Aside from the shipping fees, the waiting period would drive me absolutely bonkers......LOL

Balance of the bill is on its way to Estate Sporting Limited.


I had him do his signature series pinnacle level. I am impatiently waiting.

Mr. Yost sent me this image tonight. It is not the best having been sent via email, you all know his work.

I love Ted Yost's guns. I had an FNHP done by him about 10 years ago. His work's just timeless.

Tell me about it. I saw one of his guns in a gun rag years and years ago. 97/98 if i remember correctly. I have been jonesing for the same gun. This is the perfect round hammer T series to do this to. No box no paperwork. I am super excited.

Very nice !

First thing I noticed and wished Browning did was relocate the serial number as Mr Yost did.

That is where the serial has always been. Not all serials are on the frontstrap. Not all of those clean front straps are thick enough for checkering.

Can you tell me what does something like that cost? PM if you don't want to say in public. I found the web site and I don't want to waste the guys time if it's way outside my ability to pay.

This is his signature grade : pinnacle

Gun broker sales have a few of his bhp listed/sold at 3.5 to 4k. Most of them would not be his pinnacle level. They would be his srt package.

For this one think custom wilson price, plus cost of the browning hp and shipping each way.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Stunning! I like your taste, the fire-blued appointments really send it home.

Pffft there is all kinds of dust on that impeccably mirrored finish on the gun with a slide to frame fit that is tight enough to crush an atom. Nobody takes pride in their work anymore. Razz.

That is one damn beautiful piece of kinetic art you are getting.
