[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3484830, member: 40561"] So I played with both HPs a bit. I guess the reset is pretty similar (very faint) on both of them...so that's a wash. The one I just got back has a 5 pull average of 4 pound 5.6oz per my gauge. It got the trigger job and already had the mag disconnect removed. The stock one, which still has the mag disconnect, has a 5 pull average of 5 pound 9.2oz on the same gauge. Both are of the same vintage but the one I sent off for work has countless rounds through it while the stock one has only a few hundred (It was NIB from my Grandpa when I got it). At this point I am not that excited about it at all. It may be a bit lighter and a bit crisper, but not worth the money paid and time wasted. The safety is nice and the slide refinish got rid of some marks that I couldn't stand but sadly I think any local shop could have done the slide and a drop in safety could have been slapped in at home. If we're being 100% honest here there are tooling marks on the safety that IMO should have been smoothed out by a high end gunsmith. Its cosmetic, but still. I'm glad everybody else speaks so highly of Don, but that was not my experience. I hold no hard feelings to those who suggested him, I am just sharing my experience and results. I may go by Cylinder and Slide next time I'm in the area and see if they'll let me see what their stuff is like. [ATTACH=full]185791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185791[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
