Warning: Read safety manual.

I'm not much of a BHP fan, but I like how this gun looks, along w/ its size, form factor, capacity, and OR.

IIRC, a BHP was one of the first 9mm I ever shot, along with a 92FS.

Really liked it, but haven't shot one in years. That rail-les model looks pretty nice.

I really like the looks of that. Did Girsan keep the mag disconnect or lose it like Springfield did with their copy?

I can see myself interested in that piece.

The mag disconnect are only on the original spec that Girsan makes. If it has an extended beavertail, it doesn't have a disconnect. That also doesn't mean that the trigger got any better. My old Ops felt like it was a 8# trigger.

I went on their site to research a trade-offer on that very same model, albeit in full-steel and nickeled. I saw their marketing on the home-page, and my new-gun lust began, LOL....

Wow I like the looks of both the railed and non railed versions.

It's great that they had the sense to offer both railed and non-railed versions. Non-railed for me please!

Not a rail Edson either. Have a few railed guns, not an option sometimes.
All the “new” BHP guns seem to shoot around 3” at 25 yards. At least from testing in American Rifleman. The YouTube tests seem to run the same.
That s a bigger no with me than having a rail.

I recently purchased the one without the rail. The magazines don't drop free on mine (or the 2nd one that the shop got in).

With the slide closed, the follower will pop the mag out a little bit but then you must pull it out.

With the slide locked back (like after firing to slide lock) the magazine won't move at all. You then need to push it out from the top, or pry it out from the bottom.

We originally thought that the Cerakote was too thick but, it appears it is the little metal piece in the frame that protects the hammer spring.

I've sent it back to EAA and I'll let you know what they say and/or do.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks.

Oh man I really like both of them. I’m a sucker for compact size and sub compact pistols.

I went to the website and found the full size steel frame variant. I like that one too.

I sold off a nickel plated BHP many years ago and I do miss it. It was incredibly accurate. Tempting….

EAA Customer Service is what helped me swear off Tanfoglio.
They were completely dishonest.ordered a complete slide once, when it arrived the guide rod stuck out the front of the slide over a 1/4”.
First they said all slides, 4 1/2, 4 3/4, 5 1/4, and six inch used the same guide rod. Then that is was not the guide rod they shipped with slide, I had swapped it. Finally had to ship slide and frame to “fit” special guide rod to gun. Rather than say oops, we stuck a guide rod for a 5 1/4 slide in your 4 3/4 slide. Mr Gorilla hands must have installed it. Almost had to get a pry bay to remove and a hammer to beat back in.
Later the owner of EAA told me to hacksaw the guide rod to fit slide. This was a brand new from them slide. He actually is a talented gunsmith.
Every order of parts was totally messed up. They sent a barrel the last order that was not even for a Tanfoglio. When I tried to return they told me I should have ordered the correct barrel.
Good luck with your Girsan.

EAA no longer imports Tanfoglio. Italian Firearms Group (IFG) is the US importer for Tanfoglio now.

It's hard to remember accurately going back 45 years or so, but I bought a Belgian Browning HP brand-new, and it had the same annoying habit. Also, the safety was so stiff that I installed an extended one, and that didn't help much, either, plus no matter what I or a gunsmith did, it refused to feed hollowpoints.

I don't know how relevant this is, but it would seem that EAA maintains tradition, at least regarding mag drops. At the time, I think Browning's intent was that the shooter had to tug at the mag in order to avoid dropping and losing it.

Just purchase a couple of Browning "mouse-trap spring" mags......they should come flying out of the gun.

Looks good but they don't offer the extended beavertail in a non railed frame. I know, Rails are Tacticool. Big Deal. A High Power with rails looks just horrible. Really do have to wonder how much hammer bite you get with the standard frame.

Yes, I did check out the EAA web site, none of the models shown with the extended beavertail are without rails. So we have pictures of what I would buy but no means to purchase it.

I had to "dig around" on their site to find the one without a rail.

They do exist.

Browning HP mags never dropped freely without modification, I believe. Around 1990 Browning came up with the "mouse trap" magazine. It had a spring on the flat edge of the mag that was forced back as the mag was inserted. When you hit the mag release, the magazine often came out quite briskly. I had an old mag laying around, and I tried it in the Girsan. Seemed to work, the slide locked back, and the mag dropped promptly. Didn't get a chance to shoot with it, though.

Could you provide some hints. I dug around that site to the best of my abilities and ended up going in circles. Like that price and have always wanted a High Power. Problem is my heart meds, got scratched recently by the dog and that scratch bled for two days. The same would happen with hammer bite.
