we are working on. These are 2 of the 65 or so Belgium Hi Powers that were Israeli Defense Force trade ins. The guns are less than half finished but will be full custom when finished. One of the guns has a long 3 port comp and the other a slightly shorter comp. We build the comps from scratch and have them from 1 port to 3 ports. And remember these are less than half finished.[image]

If you want a very special Hi Power that nobody else has, let me know and we can build you one. Here are a couple we built a while back.

Hi Powers. Very few custom gun guys will even touch them as there are so very few after market parts out there. So we pretty much have to build our own custom parts. The Hi Power is such a great handgun. And customized like some in the pictures above can be a real masterpiece. Thank goodness my guys also enjoy working on the Hi Powers and coming up with totally new designs. I think both of those guns are already sold but we have others coming. Our problem is we have so little spare time. We have 11 safes in my machine shops and in the gun shop and each one is filled to the top with customer guns that are waiting on some small part or maybe a barrel that is ordered, or chemicals for our finishing or any other part that is holding up the gun being finished. Quite a few of the guns are a year and a half behind, again due to no parts being available. But we are getting a few guns out every week, And I thank all of you that have been so patient. We don't get paid until that gun goes out to it's owner so I am anxious to see the gun finished and delivered also.
We work on special guns in the very small spare time we have.

I feel stenciling detracts from a "full custom"

but it is just my opinion. I would just stick to the black chromex and call it a masterpiece.

can't do that. The logo, maker's mark, caliber and serial

number all have to be on the gun by law. The engraving is up to the customer.

Just WOW!!!
