natedog,
Don't let this trigger thing bother you. I am BHP lover and dare say there is a better semi-auto combat pistol for the money that also has the looks and feel of a Hi-Power. Granted, they don't have the best trigger out of the box but, for $50 to $75 bucks you can get a nice trigger.
I see all kinds of semi-auto's out there that have all kinds of problems, from jamming, not ejecting, stove piping, to FTF's and many cost more than a Hi-power. I have trigger jobs done and have never had a problem or, any of those problems I listed above.
MarkIII's here cost $602.45, Standards cost $610.00 and Practical's cost $634.00, all with fixed sights and all NIB from a Browning gun dealer. Add a little more for a trigger job and buy it. You might want to shoot a few hundred rounds through it before you let them do the job.
Look at this practically. How many handguns do you try out the trigger on and it sucks compared to a single action 1911? Almost all. HK's, Sig's, CZ's, Smith's, Walther's, Bersa's, etc. Yea, I know they are double action triggers for the most part too. But, what the hell does it matter? A trigger is a trigger, period! On every gun, you squeeze a trigger, who cares what it's called? So, this deal about the worst single action trigger, what is that all about? People love Sig's here and pull a crappy trigger all day long. I believe most 1911 buyers spend at least that on a 1911 and then add all kinds of crap to make it a better gun or even make it work.
If you like the BHP's for the looks, feel, dependability, accuracy, name, history, etc; buy it and enjoy it. If you want a better a trigger, get one. After all, every time we all buy a gun, we spend another $300.00 on holsters, grips, sights and more for it. Big deal if a small amount is for a better trigger?
I'm fixing to spend around $75.00-$100.00 on my J frames trigger. The gunsmith is going to Polish and Radius it along with the hammer and make the double action better too. I think I am going to have him install a XS front NS Dot as well. Actually, the trigger's pretty damn good the way it is, I just want it and the hammer polished to look pretty and I like that radius feel.
