Mine is the LW model. Beautiful gun. Trigger is the worst trigger I have ever shot.....virtually unshootable. Requires a lot of pressure to make it break. I like flat triggers but the one on this gun is too narrow. I took it to Tussey Custom to have the trigger widened and a trigger job. Hope they can work a miracle. I want to like this gun.
BE AWARE THAT TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE ON GIRSAN FIREARDMS THORUGH EAA, YOU MUST INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS. In order to obtain warranty service from EAA, the purchaser must pay shipping costs to and from EAA and must send and receive the gun through an FFL, who of course will charge you. Total costs could easily exceed $75. ($15 to send to EAA, $30 to return (per EAA), and at least $15 each way for the FFL. I own two Girsan MCP35 PI models: an early PI models (curved trigger, no pic rail, no optics cut, mag disconnect). It shoots fine and the mag trigger disconnect really is a non issue for me. That lead me to purchase one of the updated PI Ops models with the optics cut, flat trigger and pic rail. On the larger 4.88" model, you must choose between those with a pre-installed optic and those with no optics cut. On the smaller 3.88” PI model, the pistol comes with the rear iron sight attached to the optics cover plate. I've had three other experienced shooters at my range shoot the gun and for all of us, the same results -- The point of impact is several inches low. We believe the rear sight sits too low, although it's possible the heavy trigger (which may improve some with use) is a contributing factor. Not only must you raise your point of aim, but the front sight must be held above (not level with) the rear sight. I'm familiar with the differentiation between "target" sights and "combat" sights, but this issue goes well beyond that. Has anyone else had this issue with the MCP35 PI Ops model where the rear sight is part of the optics cover plate??
Great video. Not too many reviews of this one yet.
Nice design.
My favorite pistols are 1911, P35 & CZ75 (style).
That's the gun I wanted to get but I got a CZ 75 compact instead

The trigger can be cleaned up, you can't go much less than 3lbs, then you get hammer follow.
