I was wondering if I could get a little help. I don't know much about the HP's and really the only information I could find is on older models. Any idea what this gun is worth. It's been in the safe for a while, bought it off an old customer of mine. I hope I understood how to post pics.

Thanks

I would have to try to look it up, but that is a beauty.

Whats the first 4 letter/numbers in the serial number and do they match frame and slide. What color is the inside of the grip's?

I don't have the gun with me at the office but the first 5 of the S/N 245NX, all numbers match. It has "Made in Belgium, Assembled in Portugal" on the slide. I'll run home and look at and let you know. I'm probably going to want to sell it and get something different that I can play with.

Is it a "T" model? It looks like an after market ambidextrous safety. It was prolly made after 1982.

Any added / decrease in value with the tangent sight? I just don't see many out there. I would like it better if it just had the plain adjustable on it. Thanks for the info.

Really, It looks like a parts gun, Have you shot it?

If not, have a competent gunsmith check it out before you
blow yourself up.

I need to go home and look at my high power. It has the same sights on it. I inherited it from my uncle and don't know to much about it other than it's really nice and stays in the safe.
