A pair of numbered HPs for $1200 in the presentation box, in my opinion (bearing in mind that I don't really follow HP prices) would be a heck of a deal.
41magfan,
I have no doubt that Ted Yost could turn this great example of an HP handgun into a spectacular one, I think I would find him one that had more wear on it though.
This one, being 43 some odd years old and in really excellent shape, I just think is in too nice to get modified. I personally have not seen one in this nice of shape, this old, outside of a true collector's (generally non firing)collection.
For a gun going to a smith to be worked on for practical mods, I would pick up a surplus one or a relatively new one, that way I would not feel in the least bit bad about it.
Yost really does some first rate work though. I have seen a BHP with a stippled front strap, Novak sights and 1911 type thumb safety. It was a first rate job by anyones standard. Of course it was about a months pay for me, if I was to guess the bill.
