I picked one up and here are my impressions thus far
First thing I noticed was how incredibly smooth the gun is. It reminds me of custom 1911s with how smooth it cycles.
Next big thing I noticed was how tight the slide to frame fit is. I'm use to BHPs being on the looser side with some rattle. This one is tight with no slop. My dealer said Browning is making the frames and slides to NHCs specs. So I suppose they have increased the tolerances slightly. Serial number location is different and is on the right hand side dust cover, starts off NHC.
The trigger breaks around 3.5 pounds. Leaning a little more to the 3 pound side. It does has a little creep. It may work itself out or it may just be nature of the beast for such a light trigger pull.
One big thing to note on the trigger. It has minimal take up. Quite a bit less than my Novak. The sear lever pin location is moved when compared to my Novak. I assume they used something similar to the C&S unit.
The barrel has been modified mainly for reliability. Polish and throate job on the chamber end. Muzzle is cut to match the slide. One interesting thing I noticed is they removed the nub that locks into the breech face.
Beavertail is very nicely blended to the frame. You would think it came from browning this way.
The sights sit alot lower than my Novak example. The gold bead really pops!
Headed to the range now to try it out. Just a quick first impressions
