I've been shooting Hi-Powers for 35 years. In 83/84 FN produced about 2000 aluminum framed Hi-Powers. The origin of those and why they didn't keep making them is mysterious, but one came into my possession a dozen years ago. I stuck it in the safe thinking that the rarity would make it worth a lot but that never happened. The aluminum Hi-Powers that come into the surplus market (rarely) are still sold for the same as the other beater European police pistols. I finally pulled it out and had some custom work done to make it a carry piece. A standard Hi-Power is a boat anchor as a carry piece, but the aluminum weighs the same as a Glock 17/19 and is slimmer as well. It's a great carry gun. I cannot comprehend why Springfield or FN have not looked at aluminum frames. The steel Hi-Power is a range gun, but an aluminum is a carry gun that would double their sales. Girsan got there first and I'm going to order one and retire my FN aluminum back to the safe.
Some version of the Girsan MC P35 will likely be my next pistol. The Davidson’s exclusive Select 1 looks sick. Could be wrong but from what I’ve read, 80-90% of the parts (slide, frame, etc.) for the Springfield SA-35 come from Tisas in Turkey. Now those parts are assembled in the USA, yet they are machined in Turkey. Not a bad thing, products out of Turkey have been unparalleled when it comes to a superior or equal product for a lower price. That said, would think twice before paying substantially more for something I thought was “Made in the USA”. Prob would go for the steel frame over the LW. Still very cool.
I just picked up one of these and it almost instantly became my EDC. Shoots so nice, carry's nice, I'm a small guy ant have no trouble CCW it with minimal printing if any.
@_Jashawuh I think Lok are what I have. Bought them second hand off of a forum. I know I have the "slim" version. Took some getting used to but, after I did, they're great 👍 I had worn all the checkering off the factory rubber grips lol
I was skeptical about Tisas. Bought a 9mm 1911 last Christmas for a smoking price. Thing is really nice, quite accurate, tight lockup and looks good as well. Very pleased with it.
This is the gun FN should have released instead of the "updated Hi-Power" they thought people wanted. People that want an updated High Power want a rail, oversized beavertail, optics cut and 2 different sizes of guns. Next let's see different styles of ported slides & a model with a shorter grip length to go with this models shortened slide.
Looks super good! As if they put thought into the design changes vs just slapping on extended levers, some bling, and out the door. Look fwd to the shooting vid!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoy your fantastic videos. Nice looking pistol..........we will be watching your shooting review on this firearm. God bless 🙏
High Power was used by foreign paratroopers. They had nothing but praise for the pistol. Some swear that the guns occasionally fell from the holster and fell to the ground and was still functional. IDK if that's true or fiction.
I'm fairly set on buying this as my first carry gun. I want a lightweight 9mm that isn't plastic. This fits the bill and is based on a legend, love it.
I have been looking for a double/single action carry pistol but the 2011 style pistols are around 1,500 dollars. I had been waiting for CZ or HK to update their hammer fired pistol, but they seem to be only interested in building pistol for the last decade. This looks extremely promising and I am anxiously waiting to see how it performs at the range. Thank you for bring us multiple options as many of use have different perspectives of what we would like to see with firearms. The color scheme is also very attractive. I hope that it shots as well as it looks.
Not da/sa, but I carry a FM Hi Power daily, and I had a Girsan MC P35 Ops sent to MK3 firearms for a trigger job a while back. The first few thousand of the Girsans were a bit rough, but everything I’ve heard about them since then has been very good. They’re fantastic guns, I can’t understand why they didn’t catch on like the 1911
The Argentine High Powers followed the pattern of the FN Model of 1965; the pistols had externally mounted extractors, later style slide machining, roll pins, a two piece barrel, a phosphated finish, plastic grips, and a lanyard ring. The licensing agreement between Argentina and FN specifically permitted the export of Argentine made High Powers.
The rails look rather robust inside that thing which is a welcomed feature and is probably what lends to the lack of vertical play. I think it is a wonderful update to a coveted classic. I never understood why the Hi-Power didn't receive the same level of attention and upgrading that we seen with the 1911 platform. It is without question a worthy platform as well. You simply cannot beat a well tuned single action trigger and this has all the same potential that the 1911 has if someone were to take the time and effort. Great to see another of Browning's designs receiving some love and modernization.
Interesting point about the 1911. By the time the original High Power was launched the 1911 has been through a world war, plus it was domestic while the High Power was European. I think that likely made it easier to love the 1911 and gave a 1935 product an uphill battle. It also took a while for 9mm (Euro) ammunition ot gain trust in the US while the big ol' 45 sold with appearance. Just my theories.
Much of the 1911 lore came from target shooters. The Hi-Power is only 9mm and a .45 cuts a bigger hole in the target. Doesn't sound like much, but a shot "on the line" with a 9mm gets the higher score with a .45 They were shooting light loads, so recoil was not really an issue. The grip safety allowed for the addition of a beavertail without welding. And the 1911 still has a better trigger...
@@GBGuns Good points. Much European gun control started between WWI and shortly after WWII, so the European civilian market was almost trivial. The U.S. market was much driven by the military. The 1911 was THE Semiauto in a country where the revolver was king. As such, it had a huge headstart in the largest gun market in the world. (Thank God and JMB!) JMB's association with the HP helped it a lot later on. The 1911 didn't need much help. Target shooters, The 'G-Men', and gangster movies all helped sell 1911s over P35s.
One thing that was touched on but not emphasized is how difficult that heavier flat recoil spring and full length guide is to remove and replace. (mostly replace) The shorter and lighter barrel /slide needs it to absorb the same recoil in a shorter distance. I'll check with BHSpringSolutions and see what they recommend. Other than that, this pistol is well made and didn't hiccup once in the mixed 200 rounds I've put thru mine. I've had an FM (Argentinian-made) Hi Power for 30 years and bought plain jane Girasn MC-P35 in early summer and shot it a good bit in the past months. It performs well. I love the HP but the rail and optic cut are what drew me to THIS one. I'm a Boomer and the ability to have a light AND a red dot make my 63 year old eyes happy!
A good looking Modern Classic, looking forward for its shooting experience, weight compression and measurement is a good thing to include in your videos for upcoming reviews
Thanks for the detailed review. Girsan is a great company that listens to customers’ feedback. I didn’t see a trigger safety or grip safety. What are they using for drop/inertia safety?
I picked up the MC P35 PI LW, the pistol is great but it is difficult to pull down the hammer, don't know if that will smooth out after shooting but right now, as I said, hammer is hard to manually pull down.
I got one of these a few weeks ago and love it. Have shot 400 rounds with no issues. Now comes the fun part. I bought a red dot (Holosun HS507K) and perhaps found a flaw either with my specific pistol or maybe it's a bigger issue. The red dot fits perfectly, but the screws supplied by Holosun are not the right ones for this slide. Trading emails with Holosun, they explained they provide M3 and M4 screws. The M3 is too small and the M4 seems to be just a bit too big (diameter). Girsan/EAA emails informed me that the screw needed is M4 x0.7. I obtained a set of that size screws and they still won't go - just a tad too large in diameter. Both customer services are sending me something? Holosun said they will send a M4 0.75, but that seems to be going the wrong way. EAA asked for a copy of the sales receipt and my mailing address but did not state what they are going to do. Perhaps this coming week I will know more? Full kudos to both companies for their rapid responses, but I am left wondering why Girsan used a seemingly non-standard size mounting hole???
Is that finicky bit with the operation of replacing the recoil spring unique to this brand? OR is this a trait common to all High Powers in general? I've never seen it before.
I have a question regarding the Lightweight model I am hoping someone can assist me with. The slide on my Lightweight is very difficult to operate. More so than any other pistol I have ever owned. If there is even a little bit of oil or perspiration on my hand, it is virtually impossible to rack the slide. I've asked several other people to try it out. They have all had the same experience. But if I thumb the hammer back, everything is fine. The slide moves easily. So I do not think I have a recoil spring problem. I am wondering if there is something amiss with the hammer assembly? Any insights will be appreciated. Thanks!
If the hammer is down you're trying to fight both the hammer spring and the recoil spring. Cocking the hammer first makes it much easier. This is true on all hammer-fired guns.
The leading edge is lower than the trailing edge, all that does is pressumably gather more light from the direction of the target. When looking through the sites you can't see the angle.
Wish the front sights wouldn’t break and fly off of these. The fiber optic pipes will blow apart after the first few shots. Worse yet the whole front sight slide out of the dovetail after a few hundred rounds. Contacted them and got rude horrible service. They want me to ship the gun from an FFL .
The Springfield SA-35 is not Turkish. It is an American Made Gun. Quote from their website "Made in the U.S.A., the SA-35 features rugged forged steel parts for strength and durability, improved ergonomics and enhanced controls, a factory tuned trigger, modern sights, an improved feed ramp design, and an increased 15-round capacity."
Wasn't the "High Power" brand, just like "Hi-Power", being used by FN/Browning? Their 2022 revamped line was released under that name, so how did EAA secure it for Girsan too? You even did a pre-release review of it IIRC. Assuming FN forgot to apply for or renew their trademark and EAA got it instead, now I'm wondering why is it that Girsan's take on the FM95 Detective was released as the MC P35 PI? EAA replaced "Detective" with "PI" (private investigator) but I can't imagine the former is a trademarked name, especially since they haven't been sold in so long. I'm usually not a fan of EAA because of their poor to non-existent promotion of most models, but it's good to see they're actually pushing this one to guntubers. I would love to see you also review their Regard Gen.3, the MC9 Match, the aforementioned P35 P.I., and their new MC 1911SC Ultimate (9mm) and MC 1911C 10mm. The first two I mentioned have very few reviews on YT even though they came out a few years ago. EAA actually released the Regard Gen.3 _after_ the Gen.4 in the US for some reason.
Nice little pistol. But here's the thing and you know there's always a thing. For a concealed carry weapon you would want the butt of the pistol to be shorter the length of the barrel really is of no consequence. So you're really not gaining anything you're actually losing with this compact.
To the contrary barrel length is vital for a carry pistol. If you want you defensive ammunition to perform as intended it needs proper velocity. In the US SAAMI spec for a 9mm barrel is 4" and so that's what most ammunition is manufactured for. Go shorter than that and you lose the speed the round needs to open on impact. There are exceptions out there such as specialty ammunition or using +p ammunition to make up for lost speed.
I fall into the "too modernized" camp. I have an MCP35, I bought it bacsuse it was so close to the original (I have an unfired, in the box, 1982 original), and I wanted to be able to actually shoot a high power. The "upgraded" versions of the High Power just doesnt appeal to me. That said, this version absolutely beats the nose off that FN abortion.
That barrel finish just looks cheap. I'm also concerned that when I look these up to buy, there are a ridiculous amount of variants that all look very low quality and many differing configurations. The turks need to step up their game. I hope these aren't as bad as their shotguns. You copy looks great other than the barrel finish. The prices concern me as well. 650 dollars for a cheap turkish gun is insane. Way out of line!

Kind of reminds me of a CZ P-01 variant of the CZ75. You get the accessory rail, reduced length, and reduced weight.
Funny you say that. I have a P-01 with Grey G10 grips and that is what is stopping me from buying this.
@@Ten_Mil_Will I got the gray and black Ridgebacks from lok on my CZ
@_Jashawuh I think Lok are what I have. Bought them second hand off of a forum. I know I have the "slim" version. Took some getting used to but, after I did, they're great 👍 I had worn all the checkering off the factory rubber grips lol
Just got my OPS and it's Beautiful in every way
Yet one more Turkish Delight to add to already substantial collection. Love Tisas and Girsan. Best bang for buck on the market.
I was skeptical about Tisas. Bought a 9mm 1911 last Christmas for a smoking price. Thing is really nice, quite accurate, tight lockup and looks good as well. Very pleased with it.
The model displayed is the Girsan MCP35 PI LW OPS.
Yes, the exact SKU is in the article.
I have and like Girsan, this one looks like another great company of a popular gun.
I never knew I wanted a High Power until just now.
This is a very practical option. All the cons of a traditional High Power have been fixed.
This is the gun FN should have released instead of the "updated Hi-Power" they thought people wanted. People that want an updated High Power want a rail, oversized beavertail, optics cut and 2 different sizes of guns. Next let's see different styles of ported slides & a model with a shorter grip length to go with this models shortened slide.
I think FN wasn't thinking about the American Market. I suspect it's aimed at European sport shooters
@@ftdefiance1That's not a market compared to USA.
FN dropped the ball and I am sure the sales figures reflect that fact
That thing is an abomination. That said. I want one. Think FN FAL > SCAR 17.
Hopefully, FN will come around and "update" the new High Power w/ an accessory rail, optic cut, and threaded barrel.
Yeah, one can always hope.
Wow !
This seems awesome!!!
It is all over the double stack 1911 pistols.
Looks super good! As if they put thought into the design changes vs just slapping on extended levers, some bling, and out the door. Look fwd to the shooting vid!

Awesome. Thank you.
Great video thanks. I have been looking at hi powers recently; the modern touches the included make this very attractive.
Had my eye on girsan’s high power clones for a while may have to pull the trigger on one.
The fit & finish are great.
Great review, and very helpful tips for the field strip!
Thank you
holy crap...I think I want this gun. I saw someone else on YT with one and it looks super intriguing .
Great review brother!
Sharp looking gun .Looking forword to you firing it.
I have the bigger Girsan P35 and it's a great pistol, the only issue is I have a beefy hand and I do get a bit of hammer bite...😮
I know that pain! The extended beaver tail on this one protects from that.
Thanks for the detailed review. Girsan is a great company that listens to customers’ feedback. I didn’t see a trigger safety or grip safety. What are they using for drop/inertia safety?
Original ones didn't have a drop safety. So good question.
Good stuff
Nice
This will be my next firearm. I’ll wait a bit for price to adjust.
We found it below msrp. Check the pinned comment.
Nice looking gun 🔫👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌😁
Weapon. 😊
I wish it had front and rear grip serrations, weighed in at closer to 22 ozs, and had a more truncated beavertail.
Thanks
I picked up the MC P35 PI LW, the pistol is great but it is difficult to pull down the hammer, don't know if that will smooth out after shooting but right now, as I said, hammer is hard to manually pull down.
Nice but,I'm going for the Grand Power. BTW, didn't you have some inside info on a new model?
Yes, we visited Grand Power in May and previewed & shot a few of the new Mk23 models. Those videos will come out once the Mk23 models are in the US.
very interesting gun
Its seen service globally. I like mine it's the standard model not this modified style .
It’s a direct mount RMSC
As long ad Girsan is replicating classics.... how about a Girsan Luger? I can't be the only one that wants to see this, right?
Great looking pistol. Too bad it looses its rear sight when optics cover comes off, that killed it for me.
Golf ball dimples. 😊
Love have one,but i live in a commiust state...limited to ten rounds....
I got one of these a few weeks ago and love it. Have shot 400 rounds with no issues. Now comes the fun part.
I bought a red dot (Holosun HS507K) and perhaps found a flaw either with my specific pistol or maybe it's a bigger issue.
The red dot fits perfectly, but the screws supplied by Holosun are not the right ones for this slide. Trading emails with Holosun, they explained they provide M3 and M4 screws. The M3 is too small and the M4 seems to be just a bit too big (diameter). Girsan/EAA emails informed me that the screw needed is M4 x0.7.

Thank you for update
Looks like the Holosun 407k/507k footprint will work on the slide.
It's RMSC, I found out and out those details in the article
Is that finicky bit with the operation of replacing the recoil spring unique to this brand? OR is this a trait common to all High Powers in general?
I've never seen it before.
Rmsc micro footprint? Do you know if they make a plate that has rear iron sight built in??
I wonder why EAA lists the weightas 1.34lbs (21.44oz) while the weight in this video comes out at about 25oz
Not sure if I missed or not but did this have the firing pin block?
Is that the same as the PI Ops?
I have a question regarding the Lightweight model I am hoping someone can assist me with. The slide on my Lightweight is very difficult to operate. More so than any other pistol I have ever owned. If there is even a little bit of oil or perspiration on my hand, it is virtually impossible to rack the slide. I've asked several other people to try it out. They have all had the same experience.

This is the girsan, made in turkey he did not say the Springfield was
Weird that it doesn’t like 13rd mags
It may have just been that magazine, I don't have others to compare with, but it was odd that it didn't want to fit.
Short beavertail on an exposed hammer pistol means: the designer doesn't know what he is doing; it's a sear breaker recipe.
I have 3 hi powers, a 61 , 69 and a 72, so I'm good 😂
As long as you don't want any of these modern features.
None of the Girsan pistols offered by EAA are rated for +P.

Nice little pistol. But here's the thing and you know there's always a thing. For a concealed carry weapon you would want the butt of the pistol to be shorter the length of the barrel really is of no consequence. So you're really not gaining anything you're actually losing with this compact.

Good ergonomics but no De cocking system in 2023 yet
It's a Single Action Only pistol. Why would you want a decocker?
Love the gun. Cant stand those light rails. Dont use them and they look ugly. If they make this mod3l without one i will pick one up.
Here is a idea why doesn't anyone make a high power in 10mm
Because 10mm is talked about a lot more than it's shot
@@GBGuns that is so true but I will love to see a high power in 10mm or even 45 acp but I am sure not many would buy it

Ummm. $1000. A little steep I think. Nice pistol though. ✅
It's about half that if you check the pinned comment.

Maybe he forgot his glasses and had speech to text on.
That barrel finish just looks cheap. I'm also concerned that when I look these up to buy, there are a ridiculous amount of variants that all look very low quality and many differing configurations. The turks need to step up their game. I hope these aren't as bad as their shotguns. You copy looks great other than the barrel finish. The prices concern me as well. 650 dollars for a cheap turkish gun is insane. Way out of line!
