RickB Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was performing a slidelock reload, and the slide wouldn't drop with the slide release, or via sling-shot. Somehow, I'd managed to flip the thumb safety up into the take-down notch, so the only way to drop the slide was to flip the safety off. I don't shoot many matches with the HP, but probably two or three a year for fifteen years, and I've never seen anything like that. Ride the safety when reloading as well as when shooting!

Hi-Power Jack Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for the tip. As you mentioned, not many people are shooting BHP's in competition any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike l m Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Check the slide stop for alignment. Also check the barrel for the bottom feet to see if they are worn. There is a BHP forum on 1911forum. Ask there. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
