I don't have Hobbs's gunsmithing skills but have have managed to do the following to my FN HP.

Removed the mag disconnect.
Replaced the trigger return spring with an x-power Wolff replacement.
Replaced the recoil spring with a 18.5# Wolff spring.
Bobbed the factory hammer.
And I also replaced the grips

That should do it for now. At some point I will send it to somebody who knows what they are doing for a real trigger job, replace the safety and some nice sights. if I win the lottery I'll send it out for some full on custom work like checkering, flattened and serrated slide, tighten up the slide etc..

 Also in the middle of a High Power project.  Going all out on it.  I have navidrex Micarta Grips fitted, I've bobbed and shaved the hammer, Tritium 1911(yup) Novaks are on order.  I also have a Cylinder and Slide safety fitted to a nice "click" up and down and I ditched the factory sear for a tool steel Cylinder and Slide unit.  Everything has been either blasted and cleaned and is awaiting the sights and a full Dura Coat on top of a fresh park.

 Damned if I can find leather for it.  Gonna have to order some from Galco.
