I could never get a pistol to shoot point of aim at 25 yds.
....
You sure it is the gun???
Thanks y'all, the compliments are all greatly appreciated. The rain cut my ranch trip a little short over the weekend, but i did manage about 300 rounds of various ammo from range ball to +P JHP and the pistol never hiccuped. Shot to point of aim at 25 yards, and with a little Kentucky windage and a sand bad, i was popping aluminum cans at 100 yds. The trigger is super crisp, and breaks at an even 5lbs (gauge measured).
For anyone with crappy HP triggers, the first step is to remove the mag disconnect. It makes an unbelievable difference.
Good to hear, I watched a video of how to remove the mag safety and might try doing it myself.
Mine needs some polishing up and re-parkarization but nothing major

Or maybe just my aim was really bad at 25 yds, pretty sure that was the problem, lol....
If it's the video where the guy claims you don't have the remove the trigger, be careful...that is true on only certain models mfr'd prior to a certain date. All of mine required trigger removal.

About how much did this cost you?.
My crown jewel is the 1959 BHP in factory nickel my father bought new, then had the mag disconnect removed and the trigger smoothed out. He alternated between carrying this and his 1954 Commander LW undercover for HPD for 20+ years. A few years before he passed away, he gave both to me for safe keeping.
Thanks fellas. RMantoo, while the prices are shown on the Novak site, they don't have pricing for the hard chrome finish (they don't do HC in-house, and sent mine out). My total tab was just over $1,000.
Thank you for posting this. I've gone over the Novak site with a fine tooth comb, and I've actually spoken with them about rebuilding/tuning one of my BHPs, and your tab seems quite a bit less expensive than I would have surmised.
The more I learn about them, the more I like Novak.
