I'm looking to have a Browning Hi-Power customized, with the goal of making it a regular carry gun. Most important are getting good sights, plus a crisp trigger, flawless feeding (not that I have any problems with jacketed round-nose ammo now, but I'd like to make sure it doesn't hiccup on hollowpoints) and better grips. Not looking to make it a bullseye pistol, but a bit more accuracy out of it wouldn't find me objecting.
I'm sure some of you have done such things in the past. Who would you recommend for such work?
Thanks very much.

The first Hi-Power I shot was a Novak, done by Wayne himself. You could say it kinda spoiled me from there on out concerning. hi-Powers!!
You might look at Jim Garthwaite.

I don't think so. The MO/FFL should have been there

Unfortunately, the Browning Master, has passed on, Armand Swenson. There are probably others who work on Brownings but I'm not sure who. In addition to being a wizard on Hi Powers, was a human machine rest. My test target firing the SV 90 gr. JHP off hand ala Bullseye was 1" at 25 yds.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I'll see how I make out and report back when the project is completed.
