The New Girsan MC P35: $400 Browning Hi Power Clone First Shots
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- The Girsan MC P35 is a brand new pistol for 2022. It is a single action only budget friendly clone of the classic Browning Hi Power. Girsan is breaking new ground here, attempting to compete in the Hi Power market for much less than all of its competition.

Here we see The Outlaw has been forced out of his own territory in search of New guns and warmth as the brutal Iowa winter sets in. In waterloo, he finds what he's looking for. A target rich indoor range and best of all, a new Hi-Power he uses for sustenance. If the Outlaw doesn't shoot twice a week, he will surely die.
I think the Outlaw definitely enjoyed his new environment, he was practically giggling lol
😅😅😅
I won’t even consider buying a gun unless I see a review from Honest Outlaw or Hickok 45. And clearly they are the two best marksmen making videos on TH-cam.
I would have to agree great shots both. If you haven’t checked out sage dynamics he is a solid shot and great info as well. He and outlaw are my go to when I need trusted info.
Totally agree. Honest Outlaw’s take on a gun is always the same as mine. Same with Hickok
YankeeMarshall says buy a Rhino
Paul Harrel offers some pretty interesting concepts with his meat targets & ammo choices.
@@m1a1abrams93 Paul Harrel is my go to the man makes you think of the "unintended consequences" of owning, using, and firing a weapon in multiple situations and i respect his takes
The Browning Hi Power is an absolute icon. Browning walked so CZ could fly!
Indeed
Thanks for the info since I was about to ask compare this to a CZ due to I never fired a Hi power before. Technology evolves and I will continue doing CZ pistols until one day that Laugo Alien design becomes a main stream and becomes cheaper.
@@dukenukem9666 wise man
@@dukenukem9666 the CZ 75 platform is kind of like an improvement on the original Browning Hi-Power in my opinion. The major differences I noticed is that the CZ 75 doesn't have a magazine disconnect, has a better trigger, has more capacity, and has the slide riding inside the frame rails.
@@JacksonWalter735 absolutely I agree. CZ runs a low bore axis, carries the slide rails inside the frame, fantastic stock triggers, better sights and I mean just dog easy to service.
Try removing the magazine disconnect. That should solve the magazine fall free issue. It's a fairly simple procedure and doesn't change the way the gun works in fact the SA-35 omitted the disconnect completely.
It might also be that the mag well is really hugging the magazine tight. I had to take a file to the inside of the mag well of my Tisas BR9 to get the magazines to fall out even after removing the magazine safety.
It's the mag safety keeping the mag in the gun. Remove that and the mag drops free, dry-firing gets easier, and it improves your trigger pull. It'll take you ten minutes to remove two pieces. Costs nothing.
If that is possible, id be seriously interested, only thing i dont like is the mag disconnect and those stripped sights. Gonna either pick up one of these or the SA-35, anyone know if Girsan has a customer service state side?
Removing the mag safety definitely improved the trigger on mine.
Let me add that while the mag disconnect is definitely part of the problem, it’s not the whole problem when it comes to magazines not dropping free from the gun. Keeping magazines from dropping free is a feature, not a big of the Hi-Power design (the French army made this feature a design requirement, they didn’t want their officers to lose magazines in the field ). The mag well is therefore designed to keep magazines from dropping free. Also, I’ve found that the sear spring can bow out and rub against the back of the magazine, keeping it from dropping free as well.
Aside from the inconvenience TH-cam is putting all you guys through, the real low blow is they are trying to make owning and using your firearms at home a rare sight going forward. Culture war at its finest. Keep up the good work bro, and thank you for all you do for the 2A community. 🤜💥🤛
Sick, thanks for the review I’ve been curious about this one. 🤝

I mean love lol your doing great
The Girsan MC 1911 you reviewed recently has a compensated model for $550 ! Turkey is manufacturing some awesome guns between Canik, Tisas , Sar and Girsan !
Just not shotguns. Super interested in seeing a 1000 round torture test.
These are meme guns at best, I'd like to see if it'll still be working in 70 years like a real FN
I'm thinking about getting a 1911 tises for 409 what do you think I like what I have seen on video s but it whuld be my first 1911 this or rock island
@@lamontgray6015 I'd honestly recommend getting a high quality 1911 as first.
Dan Wesson make really nice guns are for the money. The Vigil is a really good gun, I've seen it frequently around the 1000-1300 bucks for a 1911 that'll be a heirloom peice.
Yes lol... I own 2 Canik and been secretly shopping around for this Girsan the last 2 months. Can't find them anywhere. Now that this video is out... it's probably not gonna help finding it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have to say..I appreciate your honesty and candid review of all of the guns that you review. You don't pull punches and you tell it like it is. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to more "Honest" reviews.
First pistol I ever bought was an FEG PJK-9H Hi-Power clone, paid $250 back in the 90s, still one of my favorites
Ran into an old guy outside a gunshow in the 90's, selling a Hi-Power for around $250 and passed up the opportunity. At the time, I was into Beretta . . . regret that decision
Me too. Its on my side right now. Feels like an old friend.
still have mine and a browning as well
My first gun was an FM (Argentinian) Hi Power that I bought a week before the 94 Clinton AWB. It's still a favorite and a great shooter.
Don't worry the real deals and money makers after 86 are the bolt action kar98s, norincos, 1903s, and other non Italian milsurp.
Nice looking pistol. First pistol I ever fired was a Wehrmacht P-35 when I was 10 years old (over 60 years ago). Owner of pistol was WWII veteran and brought it back as war trophy. Pistol was very big for my small hands but was easy to control and very accurate. Fell in love with the P-35.
I have one my dad got from a dead German officer when he was in ww2 also , still shoots beautiful ! Favorite pistol I've got 👍
Bully for you guys by dickhead uncle sold all my grandfather's ww2 guns before he passed
P 35 was actually a Polish 9 mm excellent handgun VIS wz.35. After Poland has been defeated in 1939, Germans continued this Polish VIS as Pistole 35...
Wow. Love the gun and I’m loving the change to an indoor range. I would love to see more guest shooters in future videos too!
Love your content. I do a lot of shooting myself in the northeast, I've found your reviews both accurate and fair with the guns I've personally fired and/or owned myself. Thank you, and keep up the great work 👍
You could compare this to the Springfield Armory version, that would be interesting! 👍
Magazine disconnect would be one difference.
That's the comparison I'm really looking forward to!
He'll get "unlucky" and get two lemons in a row with impossible simultaneous issues.
Most likely he just won't review it.
@@A-Z__124 If they are true to the Browning Hi Power, the magazine disconnect is easily removable. Plus the magazine not dropping free is the way the Hi Power is supposed to function.
The SA-35 seems to have extractor issues on a few youtube channels
Several years ago I paid $430 for a used Argentinian Hi-Power and felt I got a good deal. Put a set of nice Hogue wood grip panels on it and got a new Mec Gar magazine as well. This new Turkish gun is a welcome addition for a great iconic weapon for a new generation of shooters.
The Argentine high-power pistol was a actual FN licensed pistol good stuff
I bought an Argentine Hi Power a few years ago and it is my EDC for a while. It eats everything I have shot through it and not one issue! Still may buy one of these Turkish ones and one of the Springfield's.
A good friend of mine mentioned this gun. Had to stop by and see it in action. I always watch Honest Outlaw before purchasing new firearms. This one will go on the wish list. Thanks guys!
Thanks for all you do. Voted for you both categories
I have Girson’s 1911 and PT92 clones they are both fantastic and fun guns to shoot. Will add this one to my wish list. Thanks for this great video.
My first handgun purchase in 1969, when I was finally old enough was a Browning Hi-Power. It was initially fun to shoot, but the trigger sucked. Back then you could send your hi-Power in to an expert shop to get a $100 trigger job. Instead, I moved on to a Ruger Security Six and put the HP on the back burner for nearly 20 years. Eventually I found out that everyone was doing their own "trigger jobs" by simply removing the mag disconnect. it took all of 30 minutes to do the job - including making the sandwich and pouring a beer afterward. On a real HP, the disconnector removal makes an enormous difference. I imagine it will make a big difference with the Girsan and Springfield Armory versions too.
Love the video as always.
In my opinion you are THE BEST Gun reviewer on TH-cam and it’s not even close. I would say you are one of the best all around shots/ marksman on TH-cam as well. I sure appreciate you and your honesty.
Looking for to your video on the Springfield SA-35 (High Power Clone)
Really enjoy all the content and the banter with the misses
Being a Browning design I have always wanted one, but cost was an issue. This solves that problem.
Great review. Love the pace and your shooting technique.
I totally love the sound of gunfire with you guys shooting in that indoor range! That echo makes me want to hear it some more! Very Cool!
Absolutely love my Hi-Power, may have to pick one of these up.
The mag doesn't drop (unless loaded) in my Belgium Hi-Power either. It will only pop out 1/4" ish when empty.
The aftermarket mags I own actually have a spring assist and kick out with some force.
Cool option. I recently picked up a FEG Hi-Power clone for $400. This looks like a nice clone option for a great price. I would recommend deleting the magazine disconnect safety. It made my trigger much better and allowed the magazines to drop freely.
My buddy never had an issue with his FEG. Always ran.
Where’d you buy it at if I might ask?
@@zacharysperber7655 my local gun store. I dont think they make them anymore but you can get lucky sometimes and find them locally.
FEG Hi-Power was my first pistol, wish I still had it.
Cabellas sells a CZ-75 clone made by Arcus (98 DA?) for about $450. It looks more like a Hi-Power than a 75. My friend loves his.
Great review! thanks!!
Well I had no idea about these gundies, but I gave you all 15 of my votes for today I find your reviews refreshing and informative as well as inspiring. I do watch a few of the others listed and like there videos/channel's as well. But I always find myself coming back to your reviews constantly watching some over and over. Especially when making a purchase. You keep it real and I appreciate your candor you don't pander to one manufacturer or another, your very open minded about what might work for others and also remind us almost every single video that you have very large hands. Even tho you could very easily be a gun snob, somehow you've turned out alright 👍
As always, a great review on a good looking pistol. 👍
mag disconnect is easy to remove if this one is the same a real Hi power.
(mags should drop free once the mag disconnect is removed)
Great review!
Gotta love the sound in there!!!
I love Hi Powers. Had HP Clone many moons ago, wish I still had it. There's a reason why the SAS used them for a long time. The SAS and the Hi Power go together like SEALs and 226s.
Back in the 80's I had a Browning Hi-Power made in Belgium, with Pachmyr grips and adjustable sights. I took it as partial trade ($400) on a truck I was selling. A month later I traded it for a Honda Goldwing, which I promptly sold for $2,000. For some strange reason I always felt like I missed out on something when I let the Browning go.
Like the review format, nice having a guest, indoor range looks awesome. Mr Guns may also be referring to his arms.
Much Thanks. I'm a BHP guy....This is killin me. Been trying to pick one of these up. Just to compare. Can't beat that price. Like you said, just can't find. Keep up the good work and vids, guys!
P.S. - I LOVE Waterloo! Was working on the road, and I never met so many folks honest, considerate and welcoming...not just in Waterloo, but the whole state.
Have a Girsan Regard Gen 4 Sport and I’m going to give it a go in USPSA/IPSC matches in my area. Been inspired by you and others on TH-cam actually. May try 3 gun too. Anyhow, the Regard has been flawless. Decent trigger even. I’d definitely take this over Springfields new Hi Power clone.
Love the videos! Next compare this to the Springfield version!
Ditto! A thousand round comparison just to see if they fixed extractor issues, love that Springfield got rid of the mag disconnect to help the trigger.
That sound!!! It was amazing...
Great review... split my votes for both your categories. Good luck.
Dumping the mag safety will let the mag drop free and will give you a better trigger.
Never seen these for that low price, the lowest I’ve seen them for was $489 . Very good guns shoot amazingly accurate out of the box and shoot all kinds of ammunition flawlessly.
I'm smiling as I watch from the State of Texas! NICE!!! Thank you for this video.
GIRSAN is really doing it justice man- great guns, decent quality. Low price. More money saved for ammo! Win Win. Will be buying this one. Can't wait for the release.
Can’t wait to see the comparison. I have a BHP and love it. I’m not a great shot and consistently hit steel at 100 yds
And Turkey makes another wonderful firearm. The SA35 could only hope to have a review like this. Price vs. functionality always wins.
Good work!
great review , I am going to be a patreon fan!
I like Girsan a lot. The Regard feels better in my hands than a real Beretta. I like their mc28 a lot, after getting used to the mushy trigger. I'm actually in the market for a CZ sp01, but i think I'll wait to see these Girsans first.
I've been very excited about this pistol since I first read about it a few weeks ago. It should be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the new Springfield SA-35, which at least early on seems to be dealing with some quality control issues. I've had great luck with Turkish-made pistols, and I hope they keep making quality clones of historical pistols. I'd love a Walther P-38 or Steyr 1912. (Oh, and the "line" sights and ambi safeties as historically correct.)
Steel vs aluminum.
Same. I have the Tisas BR9 in stainless. Super tempted to s3ll it now and save for an FN, or see what other offerings come from SA or Turkey.
@Sqwee Apparently not, 700-900 bucks will get you FTE’s and an incomplete surface finish with the SA-35’s
I used to shoot Hi Powers back in the 70s. Friend of mine had a couple. Very good guns. Lots of good guns coming out of Turkey right now. I look for one of those in the spring. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks
Just like that Girsan 1911; easy to handle, great features, very competitively priced.
You should compare this to the Springfield SA P35.
Girsan is really bringing the heat to the budget market!
Nice vid, nice shop!!
AWESOME! Great deal 👍
I've got an original Hi Power made in 94 that very rarely gets out but it did last weekend. I forgot just how great a gun it is. Even though the trigger is a little heavy it shoots very accurately.
In the modern era I believe ergonomics are as important in re to a a first and lasting impression as the looks of a pistol. I too bought one in 94 (due to the attack on higher capacity mags at the time). If it feels good, you will work with it. Have bought many more ergonomic pistols since then but none like HP. Not sure if it’s the classic styling, rich history but I don’t know that another pistol has ever been built like that. Love the ergos of the M&P line, Compact Walthers and even the Taurus G3C but I always go back to the timeless HP. Thank you Mr Browning and Mr Saive and FN.
They’ve got an updated version coming out this year with an extended beavertail and railed frame. A nice modernized version of this gun, maybe with an optics cut, is quite relevant to my interests
The new version appears chunkier , comes with a new 17 round mag that does not appear compatible with older High Powers. Not too smart
@@Desperado3248 UNLESS that 17 round mag is just a beretta 9w mag, but I think you're right, part of the hi power's appeal is its very slim grip and balancing/pointability
If you're talking about the match ops version of this gun, I feel the exact same way. I like the Hi Power, even prefer it over the M1911, but it needs a few more modern features before I consider it over our modern options.
As a fellow Iowan I am so glad I found your channel. You make some damn good content!!!
Quite simply: OooOoo. Thanks for the video, Outlaw!
Omg that ejection though right! So consistent! Especially with an older design semi-automatics I've noticed the ejection pattern can be less than consistent. Infact most of my 1911's have been known to spit a shell casing or two back at my face from time to time. IT SUCKS WHEN THEY FALL DOWN YOUR SHIRT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Get your ejector adjusted on your 1911. All my HPs literally eject into a coffee can if placed in the right spot.
Pretty nice for 400 compared to my SA-35 which was 200 more. That might good to add to your comparison with an original Hi Power. My SA -35, does have a beveled mag well and no mag disconnect.
Yea but its only 400 an'd you don't have to support Springfield
Get woke go broke. We remember what you did Springfield.
@@BB-ih3bk what did Springfield do?
@@Hidalguense they (with rock river) formed an anti gun lobby in Illinois designed to make Illinois state gun dealers lives harder and more expensive, then lied about it.
@@BB-ih3bk shame just bought a Springfield hellcat not long ago would've gotten something else if I knew this
Good quick review and looks like great shooter as demonstrated by the Outlaw- Honest Outlaw!!!☯️🎩♠️🏁🎯
You and hegshot are definitely my fav gun reviewers
Said it before and I'll say it again the Hi-Power is quite possibly the sexiest handgun ever designed.
$400 dollar Browning Hi Power! Well I can't wait for online retailers to price it somewhere around $1500.
Great video! Cant wait for them to be more available, also it will be interesting to see it compared to the Springfield SA-35.
Good info!
Girsan makes some pretty good weapons. Some of their guns are all interchangeable except for the barrel, like their M92 clone.
The Browning HP started a new era of double stack magazines, but in my opinion the best pistol in caliber 9mm is the Beretta 92FS, always.
This is the way
I still carry my 92 as a winter carry, easier to conceal under a couple coats !!
You spelled Sig 226 wrong
@@SirKryntik 😂😂
I'm personally a big fan of CZ 75 series.
excellent presentation
Cool to see my local gun shop on here!
I personally like the girsan pistols, never had any issues with them, only thing I would love is if they came with a couple magazines.
Those sights came on the Browning HP “Practical”. I kinda liked them on mine. Warmed up to them pretty easily.
In fact I’ll probably get one of those Girsan’s and give it a Cerakote job to match the gloss black slide and Silverchrome frame of the original.
Seeing as how I had to sell my first two HP’s due to falling on hard times.
Good point. While watching this video, I went downstairs and got my Browning Hi Power Practical. Yep, same sights. My partner inherited it from her fathers estate a few months ago. It’s a very sweet pistol. If I can’t get used to the sights as is, I’ll just add a little orange nail polish to the front sight. 👍
I also had to sell my HP Practical. I miss it, and haven't seen another one for sale.
When they asked me to log in to vote.. I gave up. But I will take the time to say that I search your video archives first when checking out a new gun I’m interested in purchasing. Appreciate the style and straight forward-ness of your reviews.
Definitely voting for you, brother!
I have a fair amount of experience with Hi-Powers and I do like the finish of the Tisas BP9 much better than the Girsan. The SFS ‘fastfire’ kit is very interesting and is worth investigating if you are a High Power fan.
The Tisas BP9 has been discontinued!
Dear Lord let me find one of these! I really think a gun company could make a go of it if they just started mass producing copies of all the classic! Imagine someone cranking out new P38s, Lugers, 1903s, M1s, Stens, Thompsons, etc at affordable prices!? Retro is big right now! I think it could work!
Agreed
id love a new mp40 or stg44
Fun video as always! Voting for you on Gundies, definitely for Best Reviewer. Good luck beating Miculek for shooter! Get some!
I gave you a vote for best gun reviewer because I like your reviews honest & to the point
"I shot that no shoot in the head" Well their goes that gundies award!!! LMAO Cool gun I have a few Hi Powers even got the new Springfield clone but for $400 I'm gonna have to scoop up this one as well once you can find them. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
If I’m in an ornery mood, I always buy the target with the funny looking criminal holding a gun to a mother holding a baby.
I then proceed to focus harder than I normally do to shoot the baby and the mother in their head. Throwing in an occasional demonstrative “YES!” when you hit them at a decent distance and watch the other people at the public range react hahaha.
My dads had a hi power my whole life. He carried it in Vietnam. One of my favorite guns to shoot from his collection. Kinda want the Springfield but why if you have an original
@Banned by Commie TH-cam 5 times b4 this you sir have figured out how to make range day fun again. Thank you for the amazing idea
@@DrDeath-gr9du👍🏼
Whatever your biggest, “scariest”, and/or loudest gun is, you get extra disturbed looks if you use that. My personal favorite is a Beretta 1301 or an AR-10 with an aggressive break on it. 🤣
@@DrDeath-gr9du save the wear and tear on your originals... I have multiple Hi Powers and a couple clones including Springfield's. It all comes down to being a full blown gun nut that also collects. I like owning originals that I still shoot from time to time and clones I shoot more often. I draw the line at they have to be good functional clones if they're crap they do me no good...
It's going to be really interesting to see how that aluminum frame holds up. I remember back when Browning introduced the aluminum frame Hi-Power and they had some cracking issues. But for $400 it definitely looks like a good deal.
Not so sure it's an aluminum frame.
32oz is what a standard hi power weighs.
The aluminum framed Belgian hi powers weighed around 26oz.
@@tylerwilliams6022 watch the video again. They said that it is a aluminum frame.
@@celmer6 I heard them say that, doesn't mean they are correct.
32oz is a steel framed gun.
The Girsan website has the frame listed as steel.
I imagine he just thought it was aluminum due to how well balanced and hand fitting the hi power is.
If I ever pass through Iowa, I will definitely stop at Mr. Guns in Waterloo, IA for a visit. I am also loving the performance to price aspect of this pistol and looking forward to the comparison review of this pistol vs. an OG Hi-Power.
Good review. A great looking gun to consider. I have wanted to pick up a Browning Hi Power recently, so this looks like a good alternative for much cheaper.
I have a Girsan 92A3 copy & it’s spectacular. Paid $300 & it runs flawlessly & has the same smoothness as the Berettas I’ve fired. Definitely going to pick one of these up.
As it's Turkish it'll be better than Springfield's version.
Love the reviews. Currently waiting on your 1000 review of the Girsan 1911 to decide whether I buy one or not
Very nice I'm pretty intrigued
The Hi-Power is getting one hell of a comeback. The 3-D printed gun community is making Hi-Powers, so is Girsan, Springfield Armory, and now FN started making them again.
Girsan, not Girsen.
@@wehrewulf Thank you.
I've been wanting a hi power and didn't wanna risk it with the Springfield I'll have to look into this girsan
Plenty of FEG clones out there.
Arcus makes a good CZ75 clone if you want to go that route.
Beat Jerry Miculek....hahahahahahaha... THAT was awesome along with the awkward face.
Really cool new Winter format.
Funny this posted today, a buddy of mine picked up a Belgian Hipwer this weekend.
The Browning P35 High Power is my favorite hand gun. I learned to love the design from a WWII Belgian weapon with matching serial numbers and Waffen acceptance marks all over i, I was never so mad when a druggie stole it and other weapons to get a fix. Nice to see a reproduction being made
They got me into guns. Best pistols ever.
You need to invest in steel bar and netal screen door. Best investment ever. Watched the whole neighborhood slowly got burglarized year after year except mine which was a fucking fortress
And it's far better than a stupid giant safe that warps your floors
@@jason200912 Good advice, only back in '87-90 I was living in a rental house and fortifying the house was not an option and skinning the neighbor's teenager to recover it was frowned upon by the law
Turkey? Naw.
I’m 4 out of 6 on Turkish guns. Have a Girsan Regard that works great and 3 of 5 shotguns have worked great. One Rock Island import and one TriStar were garbage but a different model from each company are fine. Also my Mossberg International SA20 is quite nice. The Girsan is the best though.
@@wheelguns4wheelmen802 I'm adamantly against the country itself. Won't get one nickle from me.
@@06MoeJoe well that’s a different story; but for the price, the quality control is something I’m willing to overlook for something that isn’t for self defense
Owned one for 15 years had it for all around carry in Venezuela never failed hope to buy one again I miss the browning
Sweet range! Hope you go back for another review in the future, looks like a cool facility. Would love to see this compared to the SA-35, another impossible to find gun at the moment.
The Girsan uses Browning MkIII style sights. I just used an AccuCraft sight pusher to replace them with a set of tritium sights from Brownells. Pushed right out, no issues.
If you want more mags, look for Mec-Gar MG-BRHP-15.
Dang......wish I had known about Mr. Guns. I just drove through Waterloo on Tuesday on my way home from my Wyoming elk hunt. Great vid. Looks like it could be a winner. I know you both have great recoil control, but the recoil impulse makes that thing like it is incredibly soft shooting.
Looking forward to more info on this pistol. Looking good so far. 👍
Thanks for mentioning the rear tang and slide bite.
