I couldn't decide on one, so I got both of these clones. You guys are correct, both are very similar. My shooting results were pretty much like yours, great groupings, no hammer bite from either. One can't go wrong purchasing either one of these pistols.
I ended up buying the Inglis in Nickel plating. The springfield was almost $300.00 more and of the same quality. That entire pistol in case color is over the top, it looks like a pimp's gun. Almost to say I am needy for attention please look at me. The High power is an elegant gentleman's pistol.This is contrary to that. Only the controls should be case Hardened / colored. It's Is supposed to be accentuated, not zebra Stripes all over the whole thing and make it look tacky. People are free to like what they want, it doesn't mean that they have good taste.
My Inglis P-35 is stamped in Knoxville,Tennessee.Very well made with a nickle finish.Reminds me of a FEG P9r Hungarian clone that I owned 25 years ago.
Speaking of grips, try some Navidrex Thin Micarta grips from Brownells if you want something incredible on the HP. They aren't wood grained beauties, just functionally wonderful.
Mom bought dad a Belgian Hi-Power Christmas of 1983. Dad saw the movie Serpico and that's all she wrote. I graduated from the High Standard .22 to the P-35. Dedier Sauve was the primary designer.
I’ve shot a lot of the old High Powers. Recently I took an SA35 and a new L9A1 to the range. Both shot very well, The SA 35 had better sights (for me). I would carry either one of them and once I get them on my qual card, I will.
I just purchased the Century Arms Centurion 14. It is a great clone and I put some thin grip wooden panels on it for a more traditional look. I understand that Military Arms Corp. has a new one, as well.
I already bought an SA-35 before I heard of the Inglis. So I’m going to buy one of those too!! BTW, FYI all the Turkish-made (Tisas & Girsan) HiPower reproductions have the loathed magazine disconnect!
Made me feel good about my birthday present birthday was yesterday just did the background check now I gotta wait 3 days. Well isn’t that bad if you already own firearms. But it was sorta funny how i racked it back and fell in love it was tough heavy feels reliable . Hi power I’m still tryna understand the concept
😁. This is a good weapon. Which one? You should carefully study the technical description first of all before purchasing. Then compare it with your budget. And then make a decision.
I really like the looks and function of the GP-35. That case hardening is very nice. It's not for me as there is not at least one rail slot for adding a light and not a tritium front sight post.
Inglis made the original from pre WW2 under the licence from FN .THEY made guns for the British empire & commonwealth through ww2 fn production went to the German's
The major difference between the two pistols is that the SDS offering has the Mark III style spring powered firing pin safety whereas the SA - 35 has the original free floating transfer bar in the slide without the extra spring.
@@h_in_oh oh, in reality probably not that much difference but legalisms in the 1980s sort of necessitated FN adding a firing pin block safety like colt introduced with the series 80
The trigger break weights are markedly different: the SA-35 has 6 lb trigger, the Girsan MC p35 has an 8 lb trigger like the old FN hi powers and the SDS (Ozerbas) has a 4 lb trigger. The new FN Hi Power (2022) has roughly a 4 lb trigger, but is a significantly different gun than the old FN Hi Power. Your measurement of 6/7 lbs for the SDS Hi Power is not consistent with what I've seen elsewhere. Possibly rolling changes have been made? I have two the Girsan pistols and believe me, you will notice a difference in the triggers and that difference will effect your results.
@@plantguy100 well our model SA-35 has been broken in, where as the PG35 was straight out of the box. We should have grabbed a fresh Springfield for our trigger test for more accuracy.
Don't remember now, but I checked it online with different sources. According to the fellow at B&H Spring Solutions a hi power with less than a 4.5 lbs trigger is unsafe. His statement, not mine, but I do know the old FN Hi Powers were about 8 lbs.

Thanks for reviewing these Hi Powers. 👍 Though I have to advise against the idea of using the cup and saucer grip with a semi-auto pistol. It is fine with a revolver. Though if there is a catastrophic event with a semi-auto pistol, there is a tendency for the magazine to be blown out of the bottom of the mag well. To minimize the chance of suffering severe damage to your hand, it may be best to keep it clear from that particular location while firing.
@@CartersCountry1 I doubt seriously it was the norm then or ever but it is certainly not a good grip to use with any handgun for a variety of reasons. Like the cup and saucer grip, people who use any style of low grip on the Hp don't get hammer bite like those who use a high grip to get good control over the pistol. Those of use who use a high grip want and need a beavertail on the pistol like at least one of the other modern clones has.
A Hi-point? Seriously Larry, they're Hi-Powers. You should have at least caught it and corrected yourself, if not a re-take and edit to eliminate that faux pas. Yeah, you said it about the time you were talking about people being smaller back then.😉
@@HamekYT So I guess the staff at Springfield are liars when I called them twice and they told me the SA35 was 100% US-made? I bet FN makes theirs in Turkey too, right? 🤡🤡🤡 Go watch some more Andrew Tate videos...
