my soninlaw bought a hipower that came with a cylinder and slide trigger and sear/hammer/spring kit. he's wondering how complicated it is to install. he has a competent smith available that quoted him 2 hrs @80/hr. anysuggestions

Not sure what a cylinder has to do with a Browning Hi-Power but the rest is just detailed disassembly and reassembly. I have done several them in the past, about 30 minutes is the time required.

Cylinder and Slide is the manufacturer of the kit.

if that's the kit that allows to fold down the hammer on a live round and when you move safety re cocks hammer ready to fight use a plastic bag cause if the safety lever springs fly they are costly

No, just a custom set of springs and fitted hammer and sear. Dave is right, it takes the time of an maintenance disassembly. In my HP, I use Wolf recoil + firing pin springs and I stoned sear and hammer myself, having discarded the magazine safety.

No Grandkids for me, just kids.

Do the Grandkids snort through their nose before they show you something too?

The 10yr old granddaughter just rolls her eyes.
Now the 8yr old grandson and I are buds. He likes showing me how much he knows. So if I ask it right he doesn't know I don't have a clue.

I carried my old Browning HI Power (Selsia) for almost 40 years, still have it..Never saw the need for a trigger job or anything other than I installed a set of S&W J frame target sights long ago. Its is as accurate as most custom 45s..I have shot mostly Federal Border Patrol Plus P PLus ammo in it, never a single failure, so I figure if it ain't broke, don't mess with it..
