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.
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.
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.
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.
@@CartersCountry1 It. Does not surprise me 😂. Frigen corporate america cutting the throat of the American worker. We have to put an end to that. I'm also in the market For some variation of this pistol. To be honest with you , I was going to ask the same question scrolled through and saw that it was already answered. I was strongly considering a Girsan But they have The magazine disconnect. I know it's easily Removed but then you're left with a hole in the trigger, Is not the end of the world just something to take note of. Good comparison thanks for the video.
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
Apparently Craig is a cuddler 😬
Love me some snuggles

Are the trigger resets the same for both? Not a big fan of the two click reset of the SA-35.

Is the Inglis made in the USA like the SA35?
@@thomasward00 Inglis manufacturing is out of Turkey! They were the original manufacturer of the high powers during WWII :)
@@CartersCountry1 They weren't made in Turkey during WW2.... I'll stick with my Springfield SA35

Can you explain it to me with dumb language porfavor
Is there a practical difference in reliability or drop safety between the two firing pin safety designs?

Want
Is it true that Tisas makes the SA35 parts and Springfield assembles them?
No
Is that the guy from american pickers
@@Michael-qf4zp lol no sir
No problems with my Springfield...the GP35 has had a lot of failure to feeds
where is the eye pretection?
Not your business
Drop safety? I think y'all meant magazine disconnect.
No they didn’t
@@TheShocktraumayeah they did. The drop safety has nothing to do with preventing firing without a magazine.
@@hiya_how_areya6436 has a firing pin block
