In a sea of polymer pistols, this really stands out positively.

@LuvBorderCollies 10 месяцев назад

Looked at a Girsan plain jane and a Springfield SA-35 at two different LGS. The Girsan was noticeably heavier than the 1983 Browning HP I had. Handled the SA-35 at other shop and it felt like the same weight as I recall the HP. Both guns were empty. That really stumped me as to the cause.

I loved the Hi Power since I was 5. First 9mm handgun I was introduced to in this world from media and games. Mom bought a cap gun version for me when I was 8 and I knew what it was immediately. Held it and said to myself it will be my first pistol. It broke when I was 13 but I turned 21 this year and I got a SA35. I love my Hi Power and will carry it down to my some day children as a family heirloom. The Glock of your times indeed. First wonder 9.

Just bought a MCP35PI Match. Wish to God I would have found it before I bought my SA35 Springfield. Now I'm sell the Springfield. That Girsan is just as accurate and just as reliable as the SA35. But a hell of a lot cheaper. By about $150. It's my main CC next to my Taurus Tx22 compact.

@jimm7346 5 месяцев назад

A little off topic, but in my experience a lot of ppl tend to knock Taurus (and I personally always thought their semi-autos were kinda ugly), but I have a G3 tactical and a TX22 now as well, and they both are incredibly accurate and fun pistols to shoot. The G3 tac has a pretty damn good (not great) re-fire trigger with an awesome reset. That said... I finally got my hands on a GX4 XL today, and the copy-cat Canik combat trigger was disappointing...

Great idea. I hope Girson's idea catches on and they deserve credit for what should be a huge swan song of a comeback for the hi- power. What if we had a 2011 type version, etc?

The rare Argentinian Made FM Detective High Power is the Bee's Knees, Argentina, military got a license and machinery from FN Browning to make their own military Hi Powers, and they were the first ever to shorten the High Power. The FM Detective was imported starting in 1991 for a few years. They are fairly rare and coveted. I have one and have put over 20 thousand rounds thru it. I Never had a single malfunction, and it devoured any ammo i fed it. I recently bought another brand new never fired one. After about 500 rounds of break in i will use it for CCW and use the other for a range gun. If you ever have the chance to get one don't miss out. They pop up on GB a few times a year.

I really like it, but I have a couple of small complaints. The guide rod is a pain in the ass to get back in. I have big hands, and the grip on the left side gets in the way of flipping the safety up. I fixed that with my Dremel. And the barrel being so hi pollished it's over kill. I plan on using some emery cloth to knock it down some. Other than what was stated on the rear sight, it's a great gun. Wish it would of been made again sooner. I know that the Argentine hp model was close. I think it was called the detective model.

@cliffthompson4149 10 месяцев назад

Nice gun. As far as the flat wire spring I'm not sure about. I bought a sig p320 and the first time I shot it the spring came out of the front of my gun. After examining the problem. I realized that under high pressure the flat wire spring leaned enough to escape the front of the pistol. Man was I pissed off when that happened.

@c0c0asauce 10 месяцев назад

I don't know which one but I saw a Wilson Combat video on the 1911 where they said flat recoil springs were more durable than round wire. From my mechanic background I would say that is true. A flat wire spring will not bind as easily as a round wire spring when you reach the limit of compression.
