Reduce trigger all on Hi Power.
Would this help to shoot more accurately and if so what do I need to have it done?

It would help ME, but I do know people with such good trigger control that they can shoot about anything accurately. Just depends on which group you are in.
Removing the magazine disconnector will reduce the trigger pull. Maybe a little, maybe a lot. USPSA and IDPA allow removal of the magazine disconnect "safety" for competition, but self defense instructors tend to frown on it.
A full trigger job on a Browning is a specialist gunsmith job. It won't be cheap and it won't be as light as a 1911, but it will be pretty good.0 -
...had a local GS work up the trigger on my HP, major difference. 0 -

In general, cleaning up sear & hammer engagement, trigger bar & lever, polishing the mag disconnect lever/pad and magazine contact, changing springs (lighter) or removing the magazine disconnect will "improve the trigger pull" and may help one shoot more accurately. But trigger pull has no effect on inherent accuracy.
Whether one ought to remove the magazine disconnect is a topic in its own right. My choice is to leave them in and do the other things that improve pull. The Hi Power doesn't seem to me as amenable to after market tweaks we non-professional gun tinkerer types tend to do on 1911s. I can get as far as "that feels better" but nothing dramatic on the target.0 -
I took my Hi-Power clone to Cylinder and Slide in Fremont Ne for a "slick-em-up" job.Made a noticeable difference in overall function and trigger action. Back then it cost under $100 but no idea what current cost would be.
I took the pistol in and actually talked to the guy who did the work. That's worth a lot to me.0 -
After shooting Glocks for a weekend, any other trigger seems like glass.
My biggest problem with the HP trigger is the long takeup/slack before it engages.0 -
I'd remove the magazine disconnector first. Stone and polish the working surfaces, maybe some springs. 0 -
I just picked up a Hi Power that was made in 1972, and i can't believe how hard the trigger pull is, my trigger pull gauge goes up to 8 pounds, and it exceeded that, crazy!
I had a Hi Power many years ago, and i don't remember it being that hard.0 -
Remove the mag disconnect then put in a 2 coil Wolff Trigger return spring in there.

Stock No. 15071 - Standard Power - 2 coil design
Spring is the same trigger return spring used in factory Pre-MKIII series pistols. This spring is Extra Power for MKIII series pistols. Provides positive trigger return which is especially desirable in tactical pistols.
Doing that will greatly improve the trigger in a recent MKIII gun.
At least it did on mine.
