Pistolsmiths in Pa.

Does anyone know of a good pistolsmith in Pa.? I have a Mark III Hi-Power that I want to have a commander style hammer installed on and some other minor work, cleaning up the trigger pull and stuff like that. Any help appreciated.

However,

Wayne Novak is well known for his work on the GP-35. His shop is in Parkersbrug, WV.

Thanks! I had the contact information for EGW once before, but it was out of date. Now I wonder how long a waiting list there is???? Guess I'll find out.

For the HP I'd probably go with either Novak or EGW. I'll be making a run up to EGW next Friday, I have a rear sight that I want changed out on my Springer and a loose ejector on one of the Kimbers I need fixed/replaced. I've talked to George a few times and is very friendly, he even offered to install my sight right there on the spot.

I know the thread is old, but for someone searching later...

Jim Garthwaite is a master with the BHP. He's done a trigger job and replaced the sights with Novaks/gold bead sights on my Browning HiPower, and the work is just beautiful. A craftsman, perfectionist, and heckva nice guy to work with.

I've never been a fan of fixed sights, but when I got the Browning back from him a few weeks ago, that puppy was DEAD ON. And I mean DEAD ON. At 20 yards, it'll shoot a sub 5/8" group.

I'd hand him one of my guns with complete confidence on a job that will be well done. His website is www.garthwaite.com .
