So when I was visiting mom n dad in WNC last week, dad handed me the BHP he “bought” from me when I was getting divorced in the 90s. So it’s sat in a Bianchi Military holster since then. And when I got it back it was still loaded with the ammo I had given to him then. Anyway, it has the super duper tall sights. And I want some that are shorter, something like fixed Novaks and a shorter front sight. Any of you guys who have a BHP, what kind of sights do you have and if you prefer a particular brand who can I get to get the slide milled for them(novaks will require a slide cut) ALSO, anyone remove the mag disconnect. Do you have to remove remove lever that acts as a firing pin safety? “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “ in my opinion, anything that we can do to trigger a potential aneurysm in a leftist is a good thing and worth doing” nhtagmember 2025 | ||

Regarding removing the magazine disconnect, you may want to read this thread, especially the second page. Because of that thread, I decided to not do this.

I removed the mag disconnect on my Israeli Police surplus FN, but as Para points out, though it does improve the trigger feel and weight, there’s essentially no perceptible reset now. Still a very shootable gun but if you like a nice positive reset take that into consideration. As for the firing pin block, my MKIII was made without one so I can’t help you with that. --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | |||

No, you are not disabling the firing pin safety when you remove the magazine disconnect. | |||

Thanks Boss, OTW to read that thread Turns out I remarked on that thread about an Israeli one I owned years ago. Which I had forgotten about. I sold that back to my buddy before I moved to Texas. Well I’m gonna remove this one tomorrow and go to the range with 37 year old ammo dad handed me. I’ll report back. “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “ in my opinion, anything that we can do to trigger a potential aneurysm in a leftist is a good thing and worth doing” nhtagmember 2025 | |||

Took the tiny pin out and it wouldn’t come out of the gun, so I then removed the trigger pin and as I was monkeying it around the mag safety popped out. Got it all back together and I can’t tell any differences in the trigger besides the mag drops free and you can fire it w/o a mag being inserted. Shoots great. And 35yo ammo worked fine.

I recently had my MkIII overhauled by Hi-Power Medic and had these night sights installed. From BHSpringSolutions: https://bhspringsolutions.com/...sights-installation/ From Meprolight: https://www.meprolight.com/pro..._tritium-color=green Except for removing the magazine disconnect shortly after I got it in 1989, the pistol remained stock. After my wishlist was completed it isn't so stock anymore.  Hi-Power Medic: https://bhspringsolutions.com/...12499427795410156250 Edit to add: I haven't taken measurements, but to my eye the Meprolight night sights look to be dimensionally the same as my stock MkIII sights | |||
