[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 3037517, member: 15253"] The recoil spring on the .40 BHP is a monster to install; literally, the stuff of Internet legend. The barrel locking lugs on the .40 were changed from the 2 lug design of the 9mm HPs to a 3 lug design (with corresponding changes made to the inside top of the slide) to better withstand the added energy of the .40. The "hot tip" for building a BHP to shoot large amounts of +P rated 9mm ammo was to take a .40 HP and install a custom barrel chambered in 9mm but retaining the .40's three locking lugs. The combination of the three locking lugs and the cast frame makes for a very durable 9mm pistol. [/QUOTE]
