I have a Girsan and a Springfield. The Springfield is prettier, but the Girsan is totally reliable. At almost 70, no one I ever knew a few years back talked about trigger reset. Now it seems everyone is obsessed with it. To me it’s not very relevant a outside of competition shooting. As a retired 25+ year cop, who now has hands that hurt from shooting my prior go to, 1911 45acp, I carry the Girsan. Steel frame 9mms are easy and gentle. A reliable combat 9mm, and 9mm ammo is a lot better than it once was too.
I bought one of these Girsan Hi Power for $459 new. It is a beautifully made gun.
I just picked up my California-approved Girsan MC P35 two days ago. For the less well-informed, California has a "roster" of handguns approved by the state for sale, and it is a huge hurdle for manufacturers to get over, so our selection is very limited compared to other states. I am pleased that Girsan made the effort. They reduced the magazine capacity to ten rounds and added a loaded chamber indicator (which I like, actually.) I haven't even had time to clean it yet, but in field stripping it, I am impressed with the fit and finish. The barrel is mirror polished and there are no machine or tool marks inside the frame or slide, unlike my beloved FEG PJK-9HP Hi Power clone that I bought in the mid 1980s. The FEG is extremely accurate and has a lovely blue finish, but the sights and safety are too small for my taste. They appear to be more or less identical otherwise, except of course for the finish. The sights and safety on the Girsan are much nicer than the "true-to-original" ones on the FEG. I can't wait to try it out at the range,
I bought a brand new Hi-Power just before Browning discontinued them. Regarding the trigger, I knew going in the trigger wouldn't be 1911 comparable, but I shot it regardless. It never occurred to me to take a file or screwdriver to it, just shoot it. After over 2000 rounds the gun is so smooth & the trigger has a predictable reset. Again, not like a tuned 1911, but decent.
I get the impression from many gun reviews people obsess over the trigger for guns not designed for target competition. Just shoot it.
“I get the impression…. People obsess over triggers…”. AMEN to that! I’ve been saying the same thing for several years now.
I am a Californian also. Think I am going to get this gun tomorrow. By the way, I already have a FN Hi-Power that I purchased in 1981. Love all guns!
I have taken the magazine disconnect out of all my Browning Hi Powers and it made a big difference in the trigger. Also lets the magazines drop free out of the gun.
I bought the Girsan MC P35 and was happy that they followed the FN Mark 3 in production. I found the trigger to be very hard so I purchased the Cylinder & Slide Trigger Pull Reduction Spring Kit CS0025B. It was about $12. Now it shoots like a dream! All it needed was a new hammer spring and a new firing pin spring. Now it shoots as well as my FN Hi-power MK III. Because of the way the trigger engages the firing pin block and the sear there is no trigger reset in the traditional way we look at it as in the striker fired pistols. I have put 500 rounds through the Girsan P35 and not a single malfunction. It has become my favorite 9 mm handgun. I prefer it over my CZ 75BD which I'm thinking of selling.
What has your accuracy been like with the MC P35? Did you keep the magazine disconnect?
I just got one (Girsan P35) and I love it too. Quality, fit and finish are there and the price was $500.00. Still getting used to the magazine safety and the trigger pull, but boy does it feel good in my hand.
You can remove the magazine safety...
@@russelsellick316 Yes your right, I spoke to my son who is a Gunsmith about that, but I want to keep it as close to Mr. J. M. Browns design as I can. So I adapt, adjust and over come. 🙃
nice!
I have 2 Hi Powers and 1 Girsan. Girsan is an exact copy and is a great buy. Thanks for the review!
Ordered one yesterday, should have it by the end of the week. Very much looking forward to the first range day.
I can’t find any of these Hi Power clones. Maybe one day!
If this is your first experience with a Hi Power type pistol the reason you have a difficult time sensing the trigger reset is due to the magazine safety. Of course it's up to you to remove it or not but that by itself would dramatically improve the trigger feel and performance. I own a Girsan Regent in stainless and would not hesitate to carry it.
Girsan also makes an excellent Beretta 92 clone.
I have the Springfield and Girsan. Love them both, but the Girsan does give me hammer bite. But great otherwise.
You're gripping incorrectly
I bought a brand new Springfield SA35 for $650.00. The trigger is not 1911 good but not horrible either. The Girsans I'm seeing at the same gun store I bought I bought my SA 35 are going for $599.00. I have not had a single extractor problem and no failures of any kind with any ammo I've put through it. My brother just bought a Girsan, I look forward to shooting them side by side.
I am possibly the winner of the urine and rope price contest.
Two days ago, I bought an FDE MC P-35 for $399.99 new in the box.
After taxes is was still under $440.00
This mite be my next purchase! I trust your opinion!
Take the magazine safety out & it will help it some . It did on mine .
The Browning design doesn't lend itself well to handling +P ammo. It can batter the frame crossbar. Additionally, the barrel lug area is not reinforced as on some other manufactures so the lug can fracture at the barrel union with +P. However, it is a very well made gun and I own the exact same one you have. A very fun gun and great finish.
I'm a Hi-Power fanatic that's been buying, shooting and carrying them for 30 years. There are two issues with the pistol and perhaps a 3rd (which I'll get to). One is the dreaded mag disconnect (which anyone can fix on their kitchen table), but is still a silly aspect of the gun that should have been discarded years ago. Girsan did not fix that issue. The second issue is the matter of the steel frame. FN did a run of (rumor has it) 2000 with aluminum frames in the early 80s for European police agencies. A few of those have made it to the US as surplus and I have one, which I customized by removing the stupid mag disconnect, better sights and a "no-bite" hammer. THAT is the model FN, SA and Girsan should be offering! The aluminum is about the same weight as a Glock 17 but more slender in profile which makes it a great carry gun! As much as I love the traditional steel frame it's a damned boat anchor when carrying. If any of the three companies releasing Hi-Powers right now would release them with an aluminum frame I suspect they'd double or triple their sales because it then becomes a more viable carry gun. The third issue that many complain about is hammer bite. I don't have an issue with that because I don't 'choke up' on Hi-Powers (at least with the steel frames). You don't need to choke up on an all steel 9mm because the weight makes it perfectly controllable with a more casual low grip. I'm no expert but I can easily get .20 to .25 splits with a casual grip without choking up on the gun. With the lighter aluminum gun I do need that high grip to get respectable double taps thus I added the "no-bite" burr hammer ($29 on Midway). I LOVE it that the Hi-Power is back, but the first of these companies that offers the aluminum frame will reap the reward of big sales.
I'll take a steel frame over an aluminum frame any day!
Great Gun shoots like my old Arginitne police issue Browning High power!😁
The dreaded magazine safety is still present in this one, I think. Get it to a smith, have him remove that and take a stone to a couple of parts and that trigger ought to improve immensely. I haven't been able to lay hands on one, but the Springfield addresses that---no mag safety. If they have successfully fixed their extractor probs, I'm gonna give one of those a try.
I have a SA-35 that is five digit number and the trigger pull and overall function is fantastic and flawless. They are hard to come by, but you won’t regret the wait. I am a 1911 guy, but absolutely love my SA-35.
I have a Springfield and loved it for first couple hundred rounds Then had ejection problems Sent it back and they replaced 3 different parts Took to range After 60 or so rounds Back to Springfield it goes Last week by the way I really do like to shot this weapon Very accurate and would have recommended it If ...but...
Cool
If in a gun store you you find a used Hi-Power made by a company called "FM" in Argentina. Most are not finished very well. But the firearms are a quality product. FM bought the FN manufacturing equipment. Plus the FN people set all the equipment up. I bought mine for $400.00 in the box with two mags. It shoots great and hasn't jammed yet.
I found a FM used in 1995. It was as new with the box and horrible finger groove wrap around grips. I paid $149.99 for it. I put a Cylinder and Slide thumb safety on it and took out the magazine safety and lost the grips. It has a great trigger and the sights were much better than my Browning HP. I sold that Browning for $325 and a FN 40 HP later. I've still got that FM! Kinda wish I kept the 40 S&W.
@@Tomindy46203 How did the 40 cal shoot? I have never even see one of those in person.
If the trigger reset is to long, the inner push bar that contacts the sear pin can be filed... just not the upper sear disengagement pin don't touch that one. "thus a short reset makes it a target pistol, cant sell it to someone else... safety concern if they cant actually hold onto it strong enough". other wise that is a 5 minuet set up adjustment including a stiffer sear spring to prevent bumping it on a 140-160 thou reset engagement = 1/2 inch or so trigger reset... 1/8 trigger reset would take off 30 to 40 thou off the engagement face of the sear push bar. off memory...there all different somehow but if to much is files off it wont drop the hammer... weld metal back onto the sear bar, its a 1.5x5mm bar... i have welded/built up 50 thou pins using a 3/32'' welding rod "E7014" that's hard to do for some rather make a whole new bar. "original parts"
I hear their 1911's are built good too..
mine still has the mag safety
but triggers quite nice... the equal
of a well-used late-50s Herstal one
I compare it directly to... smooth
take-up and firm wall w/ nice
break... used to have a FEG
that made me familiar w/
what folks say abt the mag safety
but the 60+yo Herstal and the NIB
Girsan make me believe it doesnt
have to be that way even "intact"
The FN is a newer version that improves the problems the original had. I have not had FN in my hands yet but I have higher hopes for the new and IMPROVED high-power. If your looking for old memories that's not the point. I did shoot the original Hipower years ago and it was great for what it was but I look forward to seeing NEWER versions 😊😊😮😮
They trying to fix what’s not broken
Too bad you haven’t shot the SA-35. Have fed hundreds of rounds through mine with no issues. I honestly can’t make myself buy a firearm from a manufacturer that permanently emblazons “read safety manual” on the side of it. I feel like Im buying a pellet gun. When Girsan stops that, I might consider one. The Springfield Armory 35 is fantastic (looks and operates great) and got it at a gun shop for under $700. Also, SA did away with the mag disconnect and the trigger pull is smooth helping make the gun is one of the most accurate I own. The SA-35s are hard to find for a reason, but well worth the wait. Fantastic improved hi power out of the box with amazing fit and finish. Glad you’re happy with the Girsan, but I’ll take the Springfield without question. Once you have shot the SA, think you will agree.
The Girsan MC P-35 MATCH and the MC P35 "Ops" don't have the magazine disconnect safety. Also a 1911 style beaver tail that prevents "Hammer Bite".
The mags drop free without resistance.
@@michaelbrickley8515The 1911 has the awkward grip safety.
Love my Springfield SA35, no issues with mine love it , the only Girsan I want is the OPS , but the trigger is very poor I have read and watched in videos, the ops is as high as the Springfield, the girsan ops has a nice beaver tail to avoid the tradiational high power hammer bite, but I am looking for the ops model in addition to my Springfield, the lock leather holster is great with it
I got the ops its great the trigger is good
I have a Girsan. It’s nice as a target shooter but nothing special. I Also have a genuine FN Hi-Power. I also have a Springfield on the way. Also, “not feeling” the reset is normal for real HiPowers and it’s clones. It’s the way the gun was made.
I have a 1911 from Bull Armery in Miami. It has yet to jam on me the first time. It's a 45 cal. All stainless steel. For under 700 dollars. I love it
I have very large hands and it fits my hands well. It has 2 safety's.
I've been debating a double stacked 1911 in 9mil. What a pain that buy looks to be.. then I got to thinking well isn't the Hi Power the same thing basically? Same designer? Similar 1911 build is around $900. These are around $550.
I heard Girsan is coming out with a 2311, double stack 1911s in 9 mm are slowly coming out and being made affordable, you might want to wait and check that out, there is nothing better than a 1911 trigger, I have this new Girsan in the ops version with the improved trigger, sights,and g10 grips, while it’s good, it still doesn’t compare to a good 1911 trigger.😊
By the way, my ops version I got for $516 on sale, and I’ve seen the regular version such as this one for $399.
Both My neighbor (who was also related to me by marriage…it’s complicated and hard to believe)…my late wife and I filled in for their two daughters and Sons In Law by regularly taking them to their doctors appointments when they were both suffering from terminal cancer…she passed before him)…who before his death willed me a FN Highpower with NAZI proofmarks from capture as well as a Winchester M1 Carbine (rebarreled)…but when time came (after a respectable time) to request the situation with willed firearms in question I was informed rather curtly,I might add, that his oldest daughter’s husband had taken them both to their home in Chicago and I would not be receiving them 😠😠😠…to make matters worse, I later was informed that all of his firearms were relinquished in a
Chicago “buy back” to aid the school system…since they had no monetary “skin in the game” her dad’s collection were considered all profit 😑😑😑)…she and her husband (he just fell in line when she blew whatever whistle) were total democrats bleeding blue…I know it’s probably a Sin…but I took great enjoyment to later find out that the husband lost his upper management position with a stove company and she lost her job as a Special Ed teacher and they pretty much lost everything and had to grovel their way back to move in with siblings back down to “Hicksville” here in Tennessee…their daughter also got “knocked up” by a local and has blessed them with 2 more grandkids (at least she rejected the grandmother’s demand for abortions (I’m not making this stuff up) …they even attempted to reconnect with me and my late wife for financial support…as a better Christian than me, even she rejected them based on how they abandoned their family and friends …I don’t really believe in KARMA…but the scripture about “reaping what one sows” rings an alarm to me starting with Genesis 3:19…then Proverbs 22:8 and moving onward to 2 Corinthians 9:6 then Galatians 6:8…please forgive my ranting and obvious bitterness over this very personal situation…I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and I still lean to take scripture at it’s literal face value…and yes, I am saved and a proud Missouri Synod Lutheran 🙏🙏🙏
I'm 67 ,can't hear myself flatulate
Much less hear trigger reset
Ha ha ha! Just eat more beans and you will.
Want FN to make a replica of the one made in Canada during WW2 by John Inglis and Company.
What you all think ig i send my girsan to get milled cut for a red dot? You think is a good idea?
I have argentine fm hi power
I've not shot a Hi Power and not understanding the attraction to them. As in my mine's eye not much different than a CZ75B. The CZ 75 has a double single action trigger , no mag safety and a better trigger out of the box. The CZ can be configured with a safety or decocker. If I were to want a Hi Power is because I want one , not because it's a better gun.
I'd be more concerned with training the safety or hammer manipulation into my battery of arms with this gun. You won't be thinking about the trigger in a life or death situation.

Am I silly to be unsure about buying a Girsan, Canik, or other Turkish made firearm? I do believe they’re excellent value and quality for the price points, but how separate is the money flowing into these companies from corruption? Maybe I just need to do more research, but I’m skeptical that it might not be a great idea to funnel money in that direction. Anyone have insight or knowledge on the topic?
@@RJ-oi3ck 😂 fair enough 😂
You mean American Company’s are not corrupt? Think about what in this country is not corrupt
Get over it . Its the way the world runs
The Hungarian made FEG is the best clone of the Hi-Power.
Still like my Browning 1911 more. Just my opinion.
Oh, I forgot to mention, it is made in Israel.
No sorry Springfields SA-35 out does this by a long shot comes with the improvements out of the box the Hi Powers were usually sent to the custom shop for and not much more expensive than Girsan's clone and halkf the cost of Browning's new Hi Power release.
How though?
Meh
Got SICK & TIRED of Waiting a year & a Half ! For the SA/35 ! Nooo Ones got em! Got myself an FDE M - P35 & I LOVE it! Feeds EVERY thing! Got me a Niceee Rigg for an SA/35 Wayy back then! It Fits GREAT! I shudda got it a Lott Sooner! LOUSY way to DO Business springfield!
