I had a beautiful late 60s T series with the ring hammer...it was just painful to shoot between the seemingly piano wire thin trigger welting my finger, and then the shank of the hammer eating the web of my hand like it was hungry for human sacrifice. I couldn't get more than 3 or 4 mags through it before my finger got a welt and my hand got bloody. I wound up selling it because as much as it physically hurt me, I couldn't bring myself to send it out to get cut up. The spur hammer on the new one I bought to replace it still ate my hand, but it was the spur of the hammer this time...not the shank. Go figure.

I understand that. If and when I send a real Hi-Power out for serious mods it'll likely be an Israeli surplus MKII or MKIII off Gunbroker. Something that's already got zero collector value/interest.
Note the abbreviated spur hammer that's in my FEG. The previous owner(s) took a file to the tang and removed a quarter inch or so. Whoever did it actually did a pretty decent job of squaring things up and making it look clean and intentional. I don't know for certain but think the hammer is an FN part and not a FEG part because I've never seen an original FEG with anything other than a ring hammer. The one caveat to this is the Kareen pistols. Those all seem to have come with a spur hammer.
Yup - I bought an Izzy MkIII (early, forged frame sadly...I was looking for a cast one, but oh well, cheap is cheap) for future projects that I may or may not do. It fails the click test pretty badly and has a trigger pull best measured in kilograms and not pounds...but, it's a BHP, and it'll make a great tackle box gun if I ever need one for that purpose. I'd splurge and buy a Bar-Sto or other BHP threaded barrel for it for giggles but that would cost nearly as much as the gun did
There's a tiny part of me that wants to buy a .40 BHP just to see how it shoots..
I have a friend who sent a 40 BHP out and had a 9mm barrel. His plan was to use it extensively with +P ammo. I need to reach out to him and see how that project came out.Yup - I bought an Izzy MkIII (early, forged frame sadly...I was looking for a cast one, but oh well, cheap is cheap) for future projects that I may or may not do.

At least his finger is off the trigger.
Is the hammer back? I can't see that clearly on my phone.
