After much thought, I've finally narrowed down the list of work that I want done to my BHP MKIII. The list is as follows:
*Trigger job: Oh boy, do I NEED this!
*Stippling: front and rear...thought about the skateboard tape, but I thought I'd splurge here.
*Heine Striaight Eight Night Sights: Decided on these over the Novak's; w/25 yd zero.
*Texas Armory finish: Black Gun Kote over black parkerizing...chose this over the Birdsong Black T finish.
*Removal of right side thumb safety: Got that one from Mr. Camp.
*Removal of mag disconnect safety: Iffy on this one, though. (Decided to do it, afterall.)
*Relieve hammer shank to prevent hammer bite.
*Dehorn: (recent addition)
*Grips: Malagasy Rosewood Spegals (recent addition)
I was thinking about getting the reliability package done (i.e. throat barrel and polish feed ramp, polish breech face, adjust and polish extractor), but since my pistol hasn't malfunctioned once after 1,295 rds I don't think I need this performed.
I was also thinking about a match barrel, but why get one? I still have to work on out-shooting the stock barrel, much less a match barrel. I think my stock barrel will be just fine for concealed carry duties.
Any other areas that I should look at?
I'm familiar with C&S components, but I don't think I need to replace anything on my Hi Power. Sure, C&S parts may be higher in quality, but Mr. Camp's pistol is proof positive that standard Hi Power components are decent enough to withstand quite a bit of shooting. If I had the money to blow on completely tricking out my BHP I'd probably consider doing more, but I'm on a budget here.

CS092 - Browning Hi Power Type II Commander Hammer). Looks really nice, but according to Mr. Camp, I'll need to buy their sear, too. $100 in parts plus XXX amount in labor...forget it. It does look cool though.
