    Yes, despite my initial grudging reluctance to install it after one of the partners of BH Spring Solutions went ahead and sent it to me to t&e after I'd emphatically said, "No," (and it sat gathering dust in my study for 6 months after it arrived), when I eventually installed it (out of a sense of fairness to test the concept and hardware-and to shut up the partner, Mark Howe, who was like an incessantly dripping faucet in his insistence that I give it a try), I was actually (and totally unexpectedly) quite impressed with the SFS.

    While many of the benefits BH SS touts about it on their website (and they enumerate 20) https://bhspringsolutions.com/index....34716796875000, my High Power actually had a number of them fulfilled due to other BH SS components already installed (which was part of my reluctance to go the SFS route).(My SFS kit was the Tactical one, which included an ambidextrous magazine release, which I immediately installed when the SFS kit arrived {no six-month, dust gathering period for it}, and have liked quite a bit as well).

    However, once installed, I really liked it. It's a simple system, and the hammer spur shape (goofy as it initially looks) and forward position (when the SFS is activated) really make it more comfortable to carry, as opposed to the High Power's hammer spur jabbing into your side when carried cocked and locked as I did prior to installing the SFS. It's actually pretty easy to remove the OEM action components and install the SFS when using two of BH SS's videos. Mine has become a permanent installation, but as with most BH SS components, if you decide you don't like them, it's easy to un-install and return to the OEM configuration.

    They are not; just with the non-mousetrap spring magazines. And while the same part is good for Ruger P85 magazines, it's only for the earlier, metal basepad P85 magazines, not the current production P85/P89 ones with the polymer basepads.
