    Browning High Power Smiths?

    Anybody know a good smith that can mod a high power?
    My dad wants to get it compensated, and the slide lightened.

            You planning on running 9mm major in it or something? Last I saw, the gun inst exactly rated for long term high pressure ammunition use.

                      What is up with the blue tint on the pins and extractor? Those look really sharp.
