Very nice, Joe! Other than refinishing, new strong side safety and grips, did you do any other modifications? Thanks.

I like it. I have a few lightweights. I know they're not made for high round counts, so I figure I can practice with my steel framed HPs, and carry the lightweight.

I bought my first LW, sent it off to a local smith for some work, and got to feeling guilty that I modified an uncommon HP, so I found another off Gunbroker to keep as stock. Then a few years later when there was another batch of LW HPs coming in to the country, I picked up a 3rd just to have one with the matching numbered magazine.
My carry HP has Heinie sights, C&S fire controls, and cerakote to cover up the ugly. After your comment, Joe, about the military contract, I had to check- all mine are 245 prefix.  Attached File |

I had a C&S sear installed a trigger job and the extended safety installed not to long after I got it. I always intended to have a S&W adjustable sight installed but never got around to it. |

Alloy's are what Springfield should do in future models as well as a short slide. And what's not to like about a HP that weighs 1oz more than a glock19, makes for a nicer carry piece shaving about 7oz off a steel frame, mine is a 245 serial number as well.
Nice pistol Joe! |

I have another one that has Novaks on it. It is a 245 prefix serial number that saw para-miltary service and has the Austria or Belgian inventory number on it. This one has military prefix 215 and was sold in Europe at a civilian gun club. Go figure? I'll play with this one like it is and will eventually have S&W revolver sights installed, just because.
