Great pistol. Bought one to carry in a shoulder holster as a Cobra pilot in Viet Nam. Second time I was shot down used it against an NVA soldier with an AK at close range. I was running and he was slow. Never fired it again but still keep it healthy.
My two faves, Browning Hi-Power and CZ-75 Original.
There's alloy light weight Hi Power that was issued in some European police forces that only weighs 23 oz, which is comparable to Glock 19. You can actually find some in surplus market and I was able to get one form AimSurplus for $799
I was a police officer 1966-69. I barely qualified on the practical pistol course with an S&W model 10. I found a used Hi Power in a local gun shop. I picked it up and fell in love. I have long fingers, and it fit my hand perfectly-like it was custom designed for me personally. I didn't have to aim. Point and shoot. A fellow officer criticized me for carrying a 9mm. I think I was the only cop in Harris County carrying a 9mm.
Did they all say you needed 357 so you can pierce mtiple cars in 1969?
Always loved the Hi Power, ordered an Sa-35 that just came in. Waiting on my permits so I can pick it up.
It’s messed up you need permits for a pistol. Where I’m living right now you buy it and leave the store as it should be hopefully it stays that way.
How long did it take to get in? Also, is the price being marked up? Are you guys happy with it? I'm really interested in getting one.
@@DS..69 from the day all the posts went up that it was coming out it was about 4 weeks until mine came in. No markup on mine but the prices I see on Gun Broker are nuts. Still waiting on my permit to process. Finding extra mags, with our 10 rd max has been a struggle. Springfield is out of stock.
What a beautiful and cool piece. Thank you so much for sharing this. I was fortunate to finally find and buy the SA-35 yesterday. Have not had a chance to shoot it yet but looking forward to it.
You are correct, the SA-35 pales in comparison to the "real McCoy" but I do like how the trigger feels and the absence of the magazine disconnect. Thanks again.
I saw one of the new ones at my local shop. I forgot all about this gun and that one at the shop is what made me start looking into this one. I'm normally die hard old school revolver guy. I just bought a 1926 Colt Pocket Positive that is sexy. My last one, back in January is a 3 inch tapered barrel square but S&W pre-model 36 from 1955. Both blued.
Love the classics. Learned about Hi Power through my education about the 1911. My respect for J.M. Browning keeps increasing.
You're thanking the wrong person. JMB had nothing to do with the original prototype and little to do with the long development of the pistol.
Holy shit that's a late German hi power
"Hegshot, John Browning here and yes, I can hear you. Those 15 round magazines that they are using in the SA-35 that take 15 rounds? They'll also work in your historical masterpiece. Mec-Gar has been selling them for years. Thanks for the mention and feel free to contact me on the Ouija board Monday through Friday, 8am. to 5pm."
Good to hear from you John and thanks for making some bad ass guns 👊👊👊
@@Hegshot87 Somebody was lying to you by claiming they were JMB.
If they WERE in fact John Browning, they would have said "Hey, I had little to do with the project other than designing two striker fired pistols for submission after the original prototype was rejected. When those were also rejected, I went back to working on my Superposed shotgun - thank me for that. If you want to thank the actual designer, contact my good friend and fellow firearms genius, Dieudonné Saive.
And if you like historical masterpiece military weapons, get him to tell you about how he also designed the FN49 and FN FAL - the strong right arm of the free world. Rifles that were often issued alongside the GP35 pistol in those militaries".
BTW, FN (and others) were making 15, 17, 20 (and I think even 30) round magazines for the GP35 at least as far back as the early 1970's when I bought my 69C series High Power for police work. There wasn't much civilian interest in those kinds of magazines back then, so I would assume they were intended for military use like the Rhodesians, South Africans, etc.
GP=Grande Puissance. Aka grand piss ant. 🤣 I had read Frederick Forsyth novels in my freshman year in college in 1978 and the Browning High Powered was featured as an issued sidearm to the British SAS. Wow, the legendary SAS carried it? I've got to have one. So some years later I finally bought one in 1987. And becauee the Remington 870 12 gauge pump shotgun was also featured and used by the SAS, I had to have one too.
Thr Browning fit my small hands very well. The single action trigger could be improved by deleting the magazine disconect. The safety could be improved with a wider safety lever. But it was accurate, reliable, and was my companion during the Rodney King Riots in LA in 1992. Since FN ceased production I have retired it. So now I recently got thr Springfield SA35. It is a 95% clone. But better trigger, good sights, good safety lever, and tighter tolerances using CNC machines to cut and mill the parts. It's good for +P ammo and shoots very nice with a nice light recoil and comfortable feeel. There are some sharp edges especially in the rear semi beavertail that could use some de-horning.
Old guns were just better
Looking for a iwb holster for a Tarsus defender 856 38special 3in any suggestions
Yes. I suggest you never carry that gun.
@@elblancobasura why
@@stanleyhaller8991 Because I care for other's welfare.
@@elblancobasura anti gunner?
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌
We used the HI power in the British Army made by FN Herstal, some of those had date stamps from the 60's and 70's they were well used and battered. I left the Army in 2001 and it was still the issued side arm.
Same for us in the air force, some of the Hi powers I saw were loosey goosey !
@@MrAvant123 sights all bent and battered 30-40 years of blueing, hand wear down to the metal on the grips 😂 (still worked though)
... the Browning Hi-Power was the first pistol I bought, it was a FN licensed copy made on Argentina, and loved the p-35 ever since. A few days ago I picked up a Girsan MC -35 Hi-Power clone, it looks and feels the same as my Mk Iii Hi-Power I own ...
Classic beauty, piece of history, breakthrough design, ahead of it’s time feel and ergonomics. There’s a reason it has been around so long and refuses to go away. I have one from 1994. If not my favorite pistol easily in the top 3.

Would love to get the new one. So good of them to start making that beauty again.
I acquired an Inglis Browning whilst living in Aden, back in the late 1950's, when my father was on a posting out there, for the British Government. I was 11 years old at the time and had previously owned a Baby Browning and an FN Browning 1922. The Inglis was the Fixed Sight version, not the Tangent sight version. Somebody who knew what he was doing with guns - a Regimental Armourer - had removed the Magazine Disconnect, which prevented the pistol from firing without the magazine, so the trigger was quite good. As for you comment about the Internal Extractor, I don't remember ever having extraction problems and I owned and shot that pistol in competitions in the UK, right up until we had our guns confiscated in 1996, following the Dunblane School shooting. During the early 1970's, I had the rear sight cut deeper and had a new - wider - Front Sight installed, which made shooting more accurate. At the same time, I also had a new Barrel installed, as it had had a lot of NATO Mk 2z rounds fired through it, before I got it. On a number of occasions, I also used 2z ammo, because it was so much cheaper to buy in bulk. After the new barrel, I only used decent ammo. I was mortified when I had to hand over my Inglis, following Dunblane. We weren't even allowed to sell our guns abroad, although some people were able to move their guns 'off-shore', because they had property in France.

There are at least two different ways to fire the GP35 with the magazine disconnect in place. Those unaware of that aren't among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers trained with the pistol.
Let's Go Browning! Which one y'all like better? New SA35 or the older models?
Both
Gonna have to get your hands on the revamped High Power that FN released in limited quantities in 2022
Bro, that's just bad ass dude. I fuckin love it. LOVE IT! I'm a HUGE old school revolver guy. There's only a small handful of autos that I even like anymore and this is one of them. This, Beretta 92FS, Colt Government 1911 70's Series, Colt Vest Pocket and the Smith autos from back in the day. A model 52 perhaps? One is a model 39, but the double stack 9mm without the fancy sights. I am not a big fan of 9mm either because it's so overly popular, but 3 of those I want are 9mm and I'm good with those. I think that's it. I love old school guns anyhow so this older one is right up my alley AND it's WWII! Amazing! Thanks for sharing dude! It looks like you have dark walnut grips. That's tight.
So many manufacturers are making 9MM autos that are "Just Like" or "Improved" or "Better Than" the Hi-Power. Claim though they may, there is only one Hi-Power. The rest are (in my view, Poor) imitations. This holds true for Browning's A5 shotgun as well.
What a terrific Hi-Power and the holster is phenomenal.
P-35 is my favorite pistol from WW2 (ties with 1911, just my opinion) it’s odd that it’s rarely seen in WW2 movies; shows, and games.
With the hi power, you dont have to hold bagk the slide to disassemble or reassemble, you lock the safety upward into the front notch, and it makes it easier to perform maintenance. Nice pistol.
Good stuff. Just got a B block but it doesn't have correct magazine. Does your have import marks? My pistol is a GI bring back..no paper but no import marks for sure.
The only aspect of the original that I find superior is the shoulder stock slot. But that's an overpriced NFA item so I ignore the original.
If Springfield sold a slotted frame Hi-Power as an NFA taxable SBR, that I'd consider buying and registering with ATF.
Beautiful weapon you have there. I wish FN or Browning would bring this gun back . Springfield is dead to me
I can hear my late mother in law now..."Wish in one hand and &%$# in the other and see which fills up faster." Hey, i wish they'd bring it back as well but I strongly, strongly suspect that even if they did, what they'd have to do in order to make it competitive with the SA at this juncture would be cost prohibitive. i mean they were already somewhat pricey to begin with just the way they were.
You peaked my curiosity, what has SA done to warrant the death sentence.
@@FJJN1005 They , along with Rock River Arms made contributions to anti gun politicians
@@elblancobasura In Brownings case , they may be able to manufacture it in Japan , like they do with some of their shotguns. Competitive pricing and top notch quality
@@nomad753 That's interesting. I never thought about that. I'm not trying to be funny here but I'm thinking that would go over like Ron Jeremy in a nunnery with the purists. It would be competitive pricing wise and perhaps quality wise and therefor somewhat competitive with this new offering from Springfield, I get that but it discounts anyone who'd ever be seeking the old school Belgian blaster. Still though, that's an interesting prospect.
PLZ Learn to show both side of the gun when you are actually reviewing a gun!
If you pull the slide back and use the saftey to hold it open it makes it a little easier to take apart. Lines it up right where it needs to be to take the pin out
I love the Browning High Power, traded a case beers and a bottle brandy for one in Angola.Only came with one mag though. My service pistol was a Star 'B' model. Bought that one for 54 Rand. That looks just like a 1911. My trickI discovered is to clean them with jet A1 fuel, wipe them dry add a few drops diesel in strategic places and they both perform flawlessley.
Use the safety on the second notch, that holds the slide back so you can put pin back in
For what they want for the sa 35 and the new fn high power pistol, take that money and get yourself a real Browning high power . You won't lose money on the real gun !
I have a 1945 bhp in 32 cal
Thank you for this great review. You appear to be a true Constitutionalist. I have three BHP. Two are fingerprint/thumb print internal extractors. One (gift to my Son on his 22 birthday) is external. I stay legal as I am an FFL-03 in California so you can imagine the scrutiny I am under. While I know all three I purchase legally, I find it very hard to nail down an exact year based on the serial number. Of course, an internal extractor makes them very early WWII type production, but I just cannot figure out an exact year of production. Any help would be appreciated.
Each have their place. The hi power is CLASSIC. I also have a SA-35 that is just plain FANTASTIC to shoot and great quality.
Had a Polish Radom 9 mm copied after the 1911. Great gun, still has the nazi eagle on it 1940 vintage
I am getting a sa 35 soon as this buying frenzy is over . My favorite WW2 pistol is a Toggle Top Luger .
the browning superrrrrr
I agree. I’m a proud owner of a new SA 35. I respect the worn in look of the older pistols
สวยงามมากๆๆๆๆ🥰🥰
My most favorite handgun of that era is the M1911 and I have 2 Mil spec from Rock Island Armory and Springfield Armory. Now that Springfield Armory makes the SA-35 I'm definitely going to buy it sometime in the near future.
It's amazing 🤩

I bet that thing wasn't cheap with the waffenamt markings still in tact.

Just bought a 1971 belgium made browning hi power at the gun show 10/6/23 got him down to 600 and made 300 on my sks so i got 300 in the browning on top of that on the way out. I found a vintge old timer 152 sharp finger in allmost new con
For 20 bux all an all one of the best days at a gun show in my sixty years on this rock lol😅
top pistol.
I have one from the early 80s a plain military Herstal model they sold in the 80s I modified it for target shooting with Millet sights, a couple of fitted custom Barsto barrels, tuned trigger with over travel stop and more. The small caliber autos like 9mm and 38 Super were popular with reloaders and shooters for a few years. The 9mm was a fun round to tune in. Perhaps this SA would be a good platform for that also.
dede dee, What was your need for ‘a couple’ of fitted Barsto bbels.? I just dropped mine in and it shot great [no fitting req’d]; just wondering. The BHP is still my favorite; I’m really thinking about moving to the USA fm CA, in order to become a full fledged US citizen. SFPD30&Ret’d
@@ForgottenMan1 They offered a tighter chamber for target use , drop in and barrels that need fitting. I ended up honing the resizing die to get a little better dialed in trying to get closer to the 45acp accuracy. Back in the 80s 45 brass was getting harder to get cheap but lots of surplus 9mm then. I was also shooting 38 super but that was too costly for me and there are the case separations from normal loads giving you 38 super face.
Niec
Great to hear it shot like you expected. With the oldies no news is good news!
My favorite gun from that time period is the stg44
Dude me too. #lifegoals
I like M1911A1
I can't really say on the new one because I haven't handled one.
I think it'll be a while before you do, too. At least in my case it will be. It MSRP's for $699.00 and Grab a Gun is selling it for......$1199.99- As the Brits would say, "Get stuffed!"
cool collection!
Where’d you pick this one up?

The beginning of your video had you sitting there with the gun pointed right at your stomach the whole time. Muzzle awareness is a good thing friend.
The Karens of the world get into a massive Midol Moment if somebody doing a video doesn't satisfy them by cosplaying as a corporate lawyer, visibly showing the virtual audience that they proved the firearm clear.
How did we ever survive without the Karens being in our lives to correct us?
The advantage of the SA 35 No magazine disconnect
Ain't it weird that no Tier 1 anti-terrorist unit like the SAS of numerous countries and no military or police force that issued the GP35 ever removed the magazine disconnect?
Only our American Kitchen Table Gunfighting Experts do that.
Of course, they're usually the same people who don't realize that there are at least two ways to fire/drop the hammer on the High Power without a magazine inserted.
Saturday night special.
Great video! A buddy I used to work with had one that he brought so I could see it. I didn't get to shoot it, but it felt like I was holding a piece of history!
