Hard to tell sometimes which one Ted likes doing better. He gets rev'd up when building Commercial Colts and of course BHP's. When I walked in the shop today Ted told me I had to see something. He had build "snap caps" for a double rifle that cost the owner approximately 10k. Ten thousand dollars for a rifle......sounds like a nice rifle. Well being a double it's 5k/per....I like someone who can or will spend that kind of cake on a gun. Anyway these snap caps were made of brass and cocobolo. The bullet if you will was made of polished cocobolo, and the casing made of brass. Where the primer would normally be was made of some high speed molecular plastic.

Anyway these allow the owner to dry fire the gun without damaging the rifle. Ted said "it's kind of cool to do something out of the ordinary sometimes....breaks things up" Understood. Which brings me to this gun. The first question is why make a BHP with two uppers? One in 9mm and one in .40. (See quote from above) Sort of the same reason Ned, Tim, Chuck, John, Stan, or John, do what they do....cause they can. I build guns because of all the chicks you meet and it keeps me out of prison.

Anyway, just snappin' some photos on a Sunday before we go back into the grind. This one will be at the Shot Show and I would imagine available for personal ownership. Have a great week.

Thanks, Ted...............

Because I had, of course, already considered everything that I wanted done to my HP and was content.

Yup, just laying back in the clover, thinking happy thoughts when

BLAM!!!

a .40 conversion, you nincompoop!!

Nevermind that this is going to cost more money so the dog is probably gonna get thinner (I'm already too woozy from all the blood I've sold...)

It's like Sally Struthers waving a sandwich at starving children....

I need to stop coming here. The pics are going to ruin me. Now I have a BHP on the list. I just managed to convince myself that I didnt need one a week or two ago, then I clicked on the link.

Beautiful, those Half Powers took my breath away.

Now that's nice, real nice.
Love them HiPowers. Or, as we say in Indiana: HI-parz.
I've kept the Y-B Gunbuilder smoking at times, figuring up HiPowers.

OK, I'll be the one to stir it up....
When is the LTW HiPower project going to begin?

Please do not post anymore Yo-Bo BHP photos until mine is finished....it is hard enough waiting as it is!

mactech,

I know where you are coming from...

"stippling...wait, no ...checkering.......straight-eight...no, gold line...."

I guess that I could just do a DelPinto and order two of everything...

i want to see what a 10k rifle looks like.

Now that's thinking outside the box. Very handsome looking gun, Ted.

very nice. now the ???'s i see both a 9mm and a 40 slide, so which ejector is in the pistol, the 9's or the 40's? or doesnt it matter.

I like the leaned-back front cut on the 9's slide. Among many other things. High-gripping a Browning adds so much! Nice set.

Any cocobolo bullets for this set? Hey, got any terminal ballistic info on those babies?

I suppose I should clarify that whole cocobolo bullet thing

In double rifles and shotguns, dryfiring can cause breakage of the firing pins, but the guns must be "fired" when stored, so the hammer springs do not compress and set.

Snap caps are the preferred method of releasing the hammers, and just plain old snapcaps aren't good enough for some guns

This is what the uptown boys use...





That little tiny round is a .45ACP.

c.rod, I'd suppose it looks twice as nice as a 5K rifle.

Ted,

Man, those Hi Powers are just plain pretty. I REALLY like that look. Now the snap caps, on the other hand, they're just friggin' cool and unique.

Outstanding!
