Years ago as a dealer the 2-tone Tactical BHP40's

did not sell well at all and were greatly discounted. Man I wish I'd bought a bushel basket of them.

I have not personally examined or measured them but I read that the .40 cal. versions had slightly thicker slides adding mass compared to the 9mm versions. Also the .30 Luger versions were thinner, conversely.

I like the feel and shoot-ability of the HP, even if it is only 3/4 JMB designed. It's a good classic gun that has served well. It has it's quirks. I removed the mag disconnect in the first 3 minutes of ownership. The trigger pull takes a master to get right without hammer follow. I also read of a contract security officer who bonked a Mal-content on the noggin with his and had to do a little gunsmithing to get the trigger guard off the trigger so it would function again. lol So not a good pistol whippin' rig. But who can dislike it, it's not the best, but it's good.

Since it was the original vehicle of those adventurous guys in the old glory G&A days, shooting .38-40 180 gr. JHP in cut down and reamed .224 Wby. cases. (I still read it with wide eyes!) It would be a neat semi-auto .40 to have in your collection.
