Girsan MC P35 1000 Round Review: The $500 Browning Hi Power 

At the 2:00 mark you state "it has an aluminum frame". It is constructed of 4140 chrome-moly steel. Slide is milled from cold drawn bar stock while the frame is fully machined from a forging; both are heat-treated. Internal components are machined from high tensile steel.

Bought the two tone Gray/Black this weekend very slightly used ( looked unfired). Got 2 extra Mec-Gar 15 round mags. My Lyman digital pull gauge showed a 6 pull test average of 7#. Removed the magazine disconnect and the grittyness went away and the trigger pull dropped to an average of 5#9oz. Blacked out the weird back white marked sight, and used a bright orange paint pen to mark the front sight. Zero malfunctions in 100 rounds with my son and I each taking turns shooting reloads with 125 grain Berrys Plated RN and Berrys 125 target Hollow points. Accuracy was really good, and got better while shooting. After the 100 the trigger pull had settled down to just at 5#, and got much crisper. I feel that will improve even more with more shooting. Ordered some G10 blue/black grips for it, and the precut textured pebble grained stick on grip tape kit for front and rear straps. Those pebble grained stick on panels really improve grip. I have used them on several pistols whose front strap shape isn't conducive to hand checkering like I do on 1911 builds. Might hand cut it 40 LPI later, but don't want to do that now and have to re-ceracote it. . Very impressed with it. And your First shots and 1000 round videos were why I got it. Always wanted a Browning HP, But prices hindered making that purchase. I build all my own pistols, and AR platform rifles and Bolt guns myself (30 years of experience) and there aren't readily available parts to scratch build a HP. Very pleased with this one, and my son who is another 1911 lover said he was get one next gun show. He is LEO, and carries a 1911 built in my shop daily on duty. Thanks for these videos, they helped make the decision to purchase it. Girsan Regard is next on my buy list as well. Cheers!

I paid $425 NIB for my two tone MC P35 yesterday. Having owned a FEG, BHP Practical, and BHP Mk3... I can tell that I'm impressed with this gun so far. Very solid feeling, and fit&finish is flawless. Now I need to remove the mag disconnect and throw some lead downrange.

Thanks Girsan! It's nice to be able to carry a Hi Power again. I deem mine too valuable to take out of the house now. I picked up 2. Looks good, feels good too, a trip back to the early '90's !

Forged steel frame, not alloy, and removing the magazine safety greatly improves the trigger pull. Good review.

The HI Power was John Brownings last small arm design before he died in 1926. His protégé from FN finished it by 1929 when the patent was a approved and it was fielded in 1935, hence the P35 designation outside of the US. The oldest 9mm handgun still produced. Fact checking is welcomed.

The frame on the Girsan Hi-Power is not aluminum, it's steel. Though the classic Hi-Power frame is so skeletonized, I suppose I can see how someone not familiar with the design could believe it's aluminum. In any event, try sticking a magnet to it, you'll find it does, in fact, stick. It's not that you're giving up a checkered frontstrap at the price point, it's that the Hi-Power's frontstrap is literally too thin to checker without cutting through it. Barrel length on the Hi-Power is 4.65" (I suppose we could round it up to 4.7" if we really wanted to), not five inches.

Thus far, you are the only Reviewer who has spoken positively about the trigger. I got my MC P35 yesterday and will try it next week.

Removing the mag disconnect will not only improve the mag drop problem, it normally improves the trigger itself also

I think the reason you got that weird sight setup was, believe it or not, that is what Browning put on the MKIII "Combat" (IIRC) in the late 80's early 90's. It was a two-tone pistol with ambi oversized safety levers, more prominent sights, and spring loaded wire contraption that positively shot the mags out on a reload. I owned one briefly and instantly recognized those sights. They were miles ahead of most Hi Power sights of the time, back when we were actually carrying Hi Powers to fight with. As a combat sight, they worked okay if you applied the "Tactical Sharpie" to the rear sight.

Ive had mine for 8 months and havent had a chamber jam yet. Love my handgun

Have a Charles daily hi power and absolutely love it first handgun I bought myself when I turned 21 had it 20 years now

It makes more sense than a 1911 in 9mm

You've found a good budget alternative with the Girsan's, already knocking out their 1911 and Hi-power clones have you considered reviewing their Beretta clone as well? FYI, love your videos. Will join your Patreon once I'm in the green.

I've been a Hi Power fanatic for ages. I carried a Series '70 Colt Government Model for twenty-four years and never thought I'd love another gun as much, but for me, the Hi Power is my all-time favorite sidearm, even though it's not a .45. With modern ammo, I don't feel that's an issue anymore. I just bought a Girsen identical to the one you review here (except mine was two-tone, another thing I'm freakish for). I paid $399 plus $16 shipping and $20 for the FFL paperwork. Like you, the sights on this thing are just friggin' weird and I'm going to see if I can't find some tritium sights that will fit this thing ASAP. I also yanked that abominable magazine disconnector and it improved my trigger pull immensely. It's still heavy, though. According to my gauge it is right at 5 pounds even. But it's crisp, clean and breaks without a hint of creep. Hi Powers are notoriously difficult to perform a trigger job on, but I think I can coax this one down to 3 pounds with some meticulous stoning and a set of Wolf springs. You erroneously stated that the gun has an aluminum frame. Not so. It is steel. One strange departure is the barrel being chrome plated. Girsan claims that they followed John M. Browning's design to the letter (hence the magazine disconnector), but I don't recall ever seeing a brightly chromed barrel from FN before. I think the bright chrome on the exterior is gaudy looking, like something I'd expect to see on a New Orleans pimp's gun. I don't know where people get the idea, but lots of folks think chrome lined barrels are more accurate, and that simply is NOT true. These folks like to point to Uncle Sam's requirement that the M16/M4 barrel be chrome plated. But that's for corrosion resistance, not accuracy. Chrome and steel have very different expansion differentials when it comes to temperature. Over time and with a lot of shooting, chrome linings don't hold up. And it's been my experience that such barrels actually shoot more accurately once the damn chrome is gone (but before the rifling itself is shot out). I put this pistol in a Ransom Rest after I'd run about 400 rounds down the tube, and I was getting sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards. In fact, a few groups approached 1.5" at that distance with good ammo. One last thing: aside from Girsan, there's another Turkish company also currently making Hi Power clones, and I can't recall the name of that firm to save my neck at the moment, but it starts with a "T." I'm sure you know the company of which I'm speaking. At any rate, I've read from two completely different sources that Springfield actually SOURCES ITS FRAMES for their SA-35 pistol from either Girsan or the other Turkish company. I wouldn't have brought this up were it not for a couple of my range buddies saying they've heard/read the same thing. Thank you for a great video. I love the way you don't fuck around and hum-haw with a lot of "uhhhs" and endlessly use the word "like" over and over while you search for words. You're extremely well-spoken and you get to the point. I'd never seen your channel before, but I'm a subscriber now and I look forward to watching more of your reviews in the future!

I believe the P-35 needs to have the same attention and support the CZ-75 platform has.

I bought the girsan Mc 1911s and after around 2500 rounds for a single stack .45 this thing has been incredibly smooth trigger is unbelievably sensitive no wiggles no lose parts had no jams, some say its horrible don't know how old theirs is but mine has been awesome for $525

Hooray! It took awhile but 10 years ago found a nice used Argentinian High Power for $425. Put some nice Hogue wood grips on it and bought a couple Mec-Gar magazines for it. Great shooting gun and a survivor of the Falklands War.

I got the California model of the gun. It has their match barrel with superior fitment, and novak sights with a removable back sight panel which is cut for an optic if you so desire. The novak sights are better than the ramped sights. I switched out the factory Mark III grips for Pachmayr Signature grips which has a full wraparound of checkering and the signature bulge swoops as finger and thumb shelves on both sides. The rear panel is the separate panel of the grip. It feels excellent in the hand. I still need to take out the magazine disconnect, but am awaiting the replacement trigger/frame pin from BHSS. Seriously man, try the Pachmayr grips if youve still got the pistol. Makes the handling Supreme. Love the video. So happy to finally have a Hi Power again!

I went ahead and bought one of these weapons after watching your review Outlaw, and I couldn't be more happy.

So excited that these are going to be coming to California in the near future.

I enjoyed the review. For some time I have been watching some EAA Girson pistols.Your comments on how much you like the build quality influenced me to purchase one of there 1911 clones. Thank you very much 👍

Holy crap Chris , I'm going to a gun show tomorrow and I'm looking for this exact gun ,it must be fate that you put out a video on this particular gun. I have always wanted one !

You've sold me on it! I definitely want one! I've wanted a Hi-Power for a long time now, and I got no problem with getting one of these.

Little late, I know, but off your recommendation I acquired a P35 Match Hi Power by Girsan. It’s my first Hi Power and I love it. Thanks for the video. Now, gotta find a CZ P01!

BH Springs did a thorough review and in their opinion, the accuracy issue is related to the barrel. They replaced the barrel and the accuracy issue went away.

Might have to pick one up. Put hundreds of rounds through my tisas, with the only jams being caused by super flat hollow points. Happy with the quality of these Turkish guns truly.

Great Review. Thanks for your professional take on the Getsan MC P35

Glad to see the hi power coming back. Have loved it since I was a teenager. Own an FN, and a fake FN made for Iraqi police by FEG. Both work great, can't wait to get my hands on this one, see how she stacks up.

I recently bought the ops version with the improved trigger, sights, and G10 grips, mine does not have the magazine disconnect, it’s also easy to remove it as I have done on my Browning version, I’m quite happy with it, and for the $516 price tag I paid well worth it, while it won’t have the best finish of some higher priced ones for half the price it’s a pretty good bargain.😊

I love my Girsan Regard MC6, every Girsan I've used so far has been amazing!

I had a Hi Power years ago. I was in college and needed rent money so I sold it. I want one now. I don't "need" it, just want it. The Girsan would be fun. Good review Chris.

After watching your videos I bought one of these. I have always wanted a Hi Power but never could justify the price. I paid about $550 OTD for this one and so far I am a big fan. I think the trigger is great in mine and I even like the sights. I may put some pretty wood grips on it but the ones tha came on it are fine also. If the FN's and Brownings shoot much better than this they must really be something. I am really glad I bought it.

Thanks for the review. I have to look for one of these now. I have been shooting and carrying a High Power for 15 years. Get the magazine disconnect removed. It will let the mags fall free and give a better trigger pull.

Some people hate on budget friendly firearms and I will gladly take the under dog all of my firearms are budget friendly Diamondback , FMK , Mossberg and my new Girsan I just bought I would say my ar15 and this Girsan are the most expensive guns I own and I’m damn proud cause I work hard and bought them myself

I just ordered one today. I look forward to receiving it. Thank you for the review H.O.

I got one of these a little over a month ago as I write this. Mine was about $600 OTD, including FFL transfer fee, shipping, etc. Always wanted a Hi-Power but didn’t want to take a chance on a used or a milsurp, and new builds were just too much coin. Very happy to finally get a Hi-Power for a reasonable price. Came very heavily oiled. Needed to clean it up somewhat before taking it to the range. First range session was 70 rounds. Had one failure to eject. Second range session was 128 rounds. First 120 were without incident, and then on round #121, there was a failure to fire. Hammer went down and nothing happened. Re-chambered the round and it fired. Third range session was 100 rounds. Had three failures to eject and three failures to fire. On the latter, manually re-cocking the hammer got it to fire; “second strike”. Works most of the time; can’t accuse it of being a “jamo-matic”. A little concerned about reliability after my third range session, though. All ammo was factory ammo from reputable companies; Browning, Winchester, Belom, IMI, Federal. The IMI and Federal were hollow points that cycled perfectly. I think perhaps there was still some excess oil in the slide that was mixing with the carbon buildup and creating crud that may have been interfering a little bit with the firing pin and the extractor. Earlier today as I write this, gave it a thorough cleaning, using a non-oil based cleaner on the slide (Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber). Hopefully it will be more solidly reliable going forward. Lots of fun to shoot and easy to shoot accurately (can’t beat the ergonomics of the Hi-Power; best 9mm pistol design ever in my opinion). I actually like the sights and the trigger is fine by me. Should be a keeper in any case, if only for a range gun. Won’t carry as a defensive weapon unless I can have a wee bit more confidence in its reliability, though.

Eons ago I acquired an FM Argentine version of the Hi-Power. It was a WONDERFUL pistol that shot everything fed to it! It was light, slim, compact, and fully reliable! The Hi-Power design is the "secret sauce" so to speak. The Hi-Power design is about as close to perfect as any handgun can be. The CZ series is quite similar but the DA trigger system completely changes the characteristics of the pistol. I know it's popular to want a DA/SA trigger system, but the bottom line is a SA only system is ideal and let's be honest, semiautomatic pistols are meant for OFFENSIVE use, which means one has ample opportunity to have a round chambered, safety applied.

I personally really like the fact that Girsan and EAA are planning on bringing to market a HI-Power (P35) that is "modernized" with a beaver tail frame, accessory rail, and other cool features. I'm not sure if it's going to have an optic cut, but it should. I don't understand why it's taken this long. We modernized and upgraded the 1911 and the CZ-75 a long time ago. Why not do the same to the Hi-Power? You know what would be really cool? A High Powered, Hi-Power in 10MM LOL

I removed the magazine disconnect and repainted the front sight right off. The gun runs great, unlike my more expensive Springfield SA-35 which is headed back to the factory for the second time for the same problem, a trigger that gets really stiff, then locks after just a couple of shots. Have to engage and then disengage the safety to release it. I really want one of the short slide models, but I understand the short slide model is finicky on ammo. And FN's new "hipower" isn't a hipower at all except for the exterior profile.

I got the Ops on GunBroker. Best pistol ever. Doesn't have magazine disconnect, has a flat (not curved) very light trigger, extra long beaverton, bright sights. Very rapid trigger, almost seems like you're shooting on automatic.

Girsan and Canik are really producing some quality, affordable firearms. Great review as always 💯🙌👏👍🤛. You and Mrs Outlaw have a wonderful Easter Weekend 🙏🛐✝️🕊️🐰🗽🦅🇺🇸

Great video! Love my Browning Hi Power. Practical. Bought in the mid 90's & still like new after 1000s of rounds. 100% reliable, and since I tossed the mag safety, had the trigger/hammer replaced by Cylinder and Slide consistently capable of 1 1/2'' groups at 25 yards. The gun I teach people to shoot with. Everyone that has shot it wanted to buy it. Now I need a Girsan to determine if I can make it/modify it to perform as well as my Browning

I love the way a Hi Power feels in my hand. It feels like the grip of an old friend.

Just bought a Winchester model 74 and a sign p250 compact from Mr Guns, he is a great shop to deal with

I’d take the Girsan Hi-Power over the Springfield Armory. Springfield’s 1911s and M1As are imported as parts from Imbel, which is a Brazilian company. The XDs, Hellcats and Hellions are Imported HS Produkt firearms, which are Croatian. Their AR-15s are produced under license… they really don’t make anything domestically, they either have firearms imported pre-assembled or they assemble firearms from parts, some of which are substituted for 922R compliance.

Just got one. Like it. Will be my new house gun. Had the mag safety removed at purchase. Trigger loses about a pound and is nice. Also replaced the standard grips. Thought they felt a bit bulky and not aggressive enough. I put 500 through it this morning. Worked great. No fails. I shot it beside my M&P shield (CCW). Big difference in comfort. The trigger got uncomfortably hot halfway so I started sitting it under a fan while I reloaded my only mag LOL. Found it shooting a bit low, but consistent, using the sights. Sights do suck, but I point-shoot so no worries. Mags are $40 from EAA website. I'll get 4 for the bed safe. So impressed I'll probably get their 1911 clone, just because I don't have a 1911 - yet.

The first thing I did with my FN Browning Hi Power back in the day was to disable the mag disconnect. It lowered the trigger pull and made the gun much better.

I guess the reason it sells so inexpensive is that they left out the recoil on this pistol as seen at 2:06.

Go Hi-Power!! Thanks for the review Honest!

I have a 1990 IMI Jericho 941. Has the same sloped front sight but blacked out and a long dead tritium rear dot sight. I put some orange testors paint on the front slope and it actually is a decent sight picture like that. Thats a cheap fix so you can have contrast on white targets

I recently brought the Girsan and like it a lot! Looked at the New FN Hi Power it is different from the original. Interesting though the one I looked at the fit wasn’t as good as my original 1980 Belgian made Hi power.

Chris , You are my go to guy when it comes time for a new firearm but I’ve got a bone to pick with you . I ran out and grabbed the MC P35 and it’s got the trigger takes 2 men and a small boy to operate? Ran 4 mags through it and sold it for 400.00.. I was pumped watching your review about the working man’s John Browning..Peace Brother and keep up the great work. Thanks Pops

$399 at CDNN this weekend.

Looks like good competition for the Springfield product. FN's new High Power is a rather different gun (although I'm definitely itching to try one of those). Controls on this look comparable to later Browning Hi Powers, and definitely upgraded over my FEG Hi Power clone. Deleting the mag safety will get rid of much of the crunch in the trigger. Black out the rear, neon pink the front, and rock on!

Absolutely love the hi-power. Even with the crappy old tiny blade front sight😂 crisp crazy light trigger, shoots lazer straight, and runs like a sewing machine.

I carried a BHP overseas in the 70s and 80s. Loved it. Always reliable

Have completely enjoyed these videos and appreciate them so much! I have been asking for months now for a comparison video of Honest Outlaws CZ Accushadow and the newer CZ Shadow 2 Orange. The Accushadow is the CZ Custom Shops (in the USA) customized edition and the Orange is CZ's factory customized edition. There are differences and would just find a breakdown comparison by the Outlaw so helpful in deciding which way to go! PLEASE, PLEASE, can you finally do that comparison???? A number of my friends are so interested in this comparison so I have to think others would find it extremely helpful as well.

Thanks for reviewing this pistol.

You mention aluminum frame but all the language on this I have seen claims it is a steel frame. Can you magnet test the trigger guard and confirm if it is steel or aluminum. Thanks for the review.

I like that it's on the post 62 generation. Will be looking to put one in the safe asap.

I wish someone would bring the Tisas version back.

Mine runs great for sure. I wanted a "shooter" or "service" grade Hi Power, but I just couldn't justify the price for a new FN or even a decent surplus one. This one fits the bill very nice for me. It eats any 9mm I can run through it, shoots as well as I can, and has excellent build quality. I swapped out the grips for some Cocobolo ones and its a not a bad looking gat to boot. Is it the best choice if you are looking to be taticool? maybe not. But if you want a excellent example of what a older stock service grade Hi Power was 40 years ago- you cant beat this one

Great review as usual! You're one of the best reviewers in this space on RU-vid. You've greatly informed my thinking on a range of gun-related issues. Thank you and Mrs. Outlaw! One more thing, Jamaican Beer? Red Stripe. Just Sayin'.

Mine runs fine with hardball. Being a range toy, I haven't tested it with JHP. There were only two things I didn't like about it; the grips and the mushy safety detent. Grips were fixed with a set of Pachmayrs (some stretching required for good fit) and the safety with a safety plunger spring from Cylinder & Slide (the C&S safety plunger won't fit into the Girsan safety unless you're willing to do a bit of machine work). I painted the front sight stripe with a yellow paint pen and that's been good enough as I prefer 3-dot sights and the MC P35 sight picture is pretty close, albeit with square dots. Good review!

I USED TO HAVE AN FN P35 FROM WWII . IT HAD THE LUFTWAFFE EAGLE ON THE TOP OF THE GRIPS ON THE FRAME MY UNC GOT IT OFF A GERMAN PILOT WHEN HE WAS IN FRANCE .

Cylinder and slide use to do a tripple action package w removal of the mag disconnect , this was several years ago though

Was on the fence about one of these and the SDS 1911 series. With the mag ban likely to go through on July 1 in WA, I’m gonna snag one of these ASAP.

So glad I found this video I believe my local gun shop has this model girsan and for $560 I believe is a steal gans try and buy it next time I get the chance if it's still there thanx for the help with the video review. Keep doing what you do man love your content

I was issued a GP35 High Power but I brought a CZ75, it was simply more accurate and eat every thing. The GP35 was fine with ball but little else.

SDS / MAC has one now labeled as Inglis. Obviously Turkish made. I’m thinking very close to the Girsan and even Springfield. I’m just glad companies are keeping this Classic relevant.

Bought the Match version of this a couple of months ago...love it.

just ordered mine, now I'm stalking every video I can find to watch

If Mec-Gar would start making 20 round hipower mags again, we'd be in really good shape

I have a Browning Hi-Power from 1989 and I just bought a Girsan MC P35. The safety on the Girsan is a vast improvement, but I would still prefer a 1911 style safety. I contacted BH Springs Solution to see if they offer such a thing, but no response. I have a few no-name magazines and they do not feed into the gun quite as well as the Mec-Gar one that came with it does. I haven't compared them against each other to see exactly what the difference is, just practiced dropping mags and inserting new ones. So spend a little extra and get the MG-BRMP-15 mags. Other than that, I wish they hadn't been so faithful to the original with the mag safety.

Looks 👍, beautiful design ,the man was a genius

Springfields hi power does not have the Disconnect! I just filmed one. Fixes the biggest gripe I have for it

I have a pair of Girsan 92 clones and love them . As soon as my local dealer get one I’m getting at least one of these .

I agree the rear is a nutty choice. Can you black out the white stripes with a black sharpie? I've done that before with guns I wanted to fix the sight picture.

Either Girsan or EAA listened to you about the sites. I just purchased a MC P35 last week and it didn't have the white painted long ramp. Mine came with the front site blade more like the one offered by Springfield Armory and the rear sight is Novak style for an improved three dot system.

Very cool! It would be nice to have a Browning high power that is relatively close to the original for half the money!

Picking one up sometime this week cant wait!

Great video. Outlaw, please review the Girsan MC9. Very curious to see if this super-cheap polymer striker-fired is as good as many are saying.

Idk if you had the same problem I did, but the second time I took it to the range I noticed that the front sight was wandering back and forth, I put a little loctite on it and solved all my problems

As usual , a great review. I think I'm gonna grab one! Thanx , Chris.

I like that there's a good, budget Hi-power clone being produced. The sights are odd by today's standards, but a true reproduction of at least the Mark 3 Hi-powers produced by FN. Im not familiar with previous generations' sights. I think they were smaller and all black. This Girsan appears most like a mark 3 with it's external extractor, and ambi safety, however the Mark 3 usually didn't have the ring hammer or aluminum frame. The magazine disconnect was present on the original as requested by the French military. It is easily removed and not only aids in the magazine dropping free but somewhat improves trigger feel. It appears the Browning Hi-Power is finally starting to be regarded by mainstream USA after almost a hundred years of obscurity here.

Got one of these myself. Like it a lot. Good video..Oh...orange nail polish will take care of the white sights.

My 90s vintage H-P practical model has the same sights and I sharped the rear sight and it helped a lot.

Great video Outlaw.

If your old school and love and carry a 1911 the hi power is a great alternative. Both guns operated the same. In a world where up is fire and down is safe both the 1911 and hi power are the opposite. This is very important. Both are single action auto's also.

Love shooting the hi power

The Hi-Power was the Britush SAS's handgun for years. They carried it with 12 rounds in the magazine. See the 1980 Iranian Embassu hostages rescue by the SAS! The FBI HRT carried Novak Custom Browning Hi-Powers. Novak put a beaver tail on them and host of other custom work. Cylinder & Slide also make custom Hi-Powers and they will install a beaver tail for ~$400. I bought a Tisas Turkish Hi-Power. I removed the Magazine safery on mine. Plus installed a Cylinder & Slide combart thumb safety and trugger. With the C&S thumb safety the ergonomics are more like a 1911. You have a good place to rest your thumb. I also added VZ gripes. Now this Hi-Power is good to go. The trigter is now crisp. Of course Novak customs are the best Hi-Powers ever made. They used Browning .40 S&W guns as they were much stronger than the 9mm versions to handle the increased power if the .40 S&W. Then they converted them to 9mm. Unfortunately Novak's are no longer making custom guns. Custom Hi-Powers sell for up to $7k. But Cylinder & Slide still does excellent work on Hi-Powers!! And they are superb!! Cheers!

Since you mentioned that the Hi-Power design wasn't finished by Browning, I would like to point out that it was finished by Saive, as in, the guy behind the FN FAL.

*Anyone know if Girsan is claiming the barrel is Stainless? It seems chrome plated to me, bought one yesterday and am already making plans to replace it. The booklet does not say. 1. great shooter, accurate 2. solid construction. 3. not one ounce of difference between this and high end models. 4. recommend it to anyone wanting this classic at a budget. Turkey has been making guns for centuries, they got this one RIGHT! ///$Thank you for suggesting to donate at local homeless shelters, been there and donations can make life easier in SO MANY ways for people getting back on their feet. The FOOD BANKS need $$$ and donations of dry and canned goods too.$/// Big Love!!

Taking out the mag disconnect does improve the trigger pull significantly.

Have you reviewed the CZ SP-01 Tactical yet? Great shooting as always.

Going to a fun show tomorrow. Hope to find one there. My best friend has an original HP. Freaking awesome pistol. Would love to have Novak Low profile sights installed. I understand Novak does this conversion. It does require welding the OEM dovetail and re-machining. Gonna have to check with them if I aquire one.

Got 2 Browning Hi Power #1 a Mark 1 Inglis Canada in 9.MM #2 a Mark 3 in 40.S&W bin my carry gun , i goy it in 1993 I LOVE IT but i'm looking at the Girsan MC P35 thank you for the video , i started shooting 1911A1 in1978 shooting Hi Power in 1985

Nice review and talk about the 2 other options out there as always! The new redesigned Hi power by FN is a whole new animal and 1100.00 street price. The Girsan looks like the best value for the average guy and close to the original for about $500.00. I cant wait to see it compared to an original and the new design. The Springfield isn't an option for me as I am not a fan of them and its pretty close to the original I believe. I would black that rear and orange the front sight and remove that disconnect on day 1 if I got one. Thanks Chris! Keep more of these coming !

I wanted a SA-35 but they are not available at a reasonable cost. I ended up getting a new CZ 75B Omega for $549. I am watching your channel more this year.
