I picked up this FEG Hi Power clone from the deal that Buds was running a couple of weeks ago. I've always liked the Hi Power design for it's historical significance, and when this came up for a reasonable price it felt like the right time to take the plunge. Plus, it fits all of my 1911 holsters!

One thing I've noticed is that the barrel is not like a typical Hi Power barrel, it doesn't have the cam typically found on them. Any Hi Power experts that could shed some light on this? Below is a picture of the barrel.
Also, when I completely stripped it to remove all the cosmoline, I couldn't get the two small pins in the trigger group out. I really want to remove that obscenity-inducing magazine safety. Any tips? Or if anyone knows a good gunsmith in the Nashville area who is knowledgable about Hi Powers, that would be appreciated too. Thanks!
