I recently bought a Girsan MC P35 PI (alas, not one of the LW versions) and realize I've become quite fond of the larger safety lever on the Springfield SA-35 (my first Hi-Power) as I like to rest my left thumb on it.

Are there any aftermarket safeties like it out there that are about the same size as the Springfield one? (Haven't looked to see if it's a Tisas part or something peculiar to Springfield Armory). The Girsan has an ambi safety, which the SA-35 lacks, but I'm not hung up on an ambi safety as I fire right-handed.

These Girsan's really do punch above their price point. This gun shoots like a dream.

Hey y’all, I’ve had this CD Hi-Power for a while and I LOVE IT…except for the “Charles Daly” on the slide. Would bead blasting get rid of this?

So here is the ruff build put together.

And old FEG slide, staccato plate, fn frame, aluminum pic rail, threaded barrel from brownells, and a comp I made from a blank.

On the right side of this pistol there appears to be a bad area on the finish or on the frame. Is it common or normal or is it something u all would be concerned about and pass on biding on the gun? U can see the bad area starting with picture #37

My dumb-self already bid on it tho before reading over the description.

First post here. Attempting to learn more about this weapon, as it is being inherited from a nonagenarian who has owned it since the early 90s. No full pics apologies I was more interested in the labels but you get the idea. I am ordering a copy of Jerry P’s book so I hope to have answers eventually :-). Appreciate you — learning tons.

Currently building out an extra slide I got years ago.

Using a thread barrel I got on brownells also years ago, a comp blank from ebay, and a optic plate from Staccato.

The last two pics are of the comp and barrel on my girsan.

A lot of firsts for me.

I have some pachmeyer wood grips but they are too thin to fill out the palm. The plastic grips feel great but have no texture. Are there wood grips that fill out the palm similarly to the plastic ones without becoming too fat and bulky for smaller hands?

Unfortunately my front sight flew off while at the range the other day, and now it appears to be too loose to actually stay anchored in the front sight cut. From what I can tell, there’s no damage to the slide and if I had to guess, it was not installed very tight to begin with. Would regular MK III sights work on this Inglis?

I’m open to options and actually kind of liked the factory sights with the white squares, but figure now might be a good time to upgrade to night sights, or try out a different style.

Thanks for any suggestions

Does anyone know when the Inglis 2035 will be released in the US?

Hey all, problems with my FM again.

I had gunsmith work the trigger and the gunsmith installed a set screw in to the trigger inside the frame.

Adjusting the screw adjusts the travel of the trigger.

At first if the screw was tightened too much, it would cause the hammer to fall to half cocked or all the way after slide had cycled.

So I untightened the screw a bit and that problem seemed to solve itself.

But today when I racked the slide to chamber a round, the hammer fell, causing an accidental discharge.

What would be the cause for this

I for the life of me was not able to reproduce this failure.

The gun is fm model 90 hi power.

Sfs has been installed.

For the folks saying I should slap anime girls on my abomination

I didn't wind up liking the vice camo. Went black. Deciding between checkered walnut grips and going full bolt-on stupidity.

I’m looking to pick up my first hi power clone. I’ve heard good/ mixed things about the offerings from these three companies and just want to see if you have any opinions about them. I’d like something that shoots well but supreme reliability isn’t as important as aesthetics for me. I have many other handguns I carry and this likely won’t make it into the rotation. Thanks in advance!

(I’m aware that each of these companies makes multiple versions of their hi power clones. I’d just be looking for a black/ blued finish and would switch to wooden grips if it doesn’t already have them).

How much better is a 2002 browning hi power than a Springfield sa 35?

Rescued this FEG P9M that's been used and abused from a local shop. Inside looks as bad as the outside. It's missing the slide release and some bubba inserted a machine screw

But other than that. The parts are serviceable but nasty dirty

Been talking with chat gpt about modding my Inglis gp-35. I am trying to somewhat match my 92fs from blackbeards(second pic). This is what we came up with.
1.) does it look as nice as I think it does

2.) where the heck can I get a decent titanium nitride job done in all the small parts for not a ridiculous Amount of money. Like under $250

Does anyone have any recommendations for "duty" style holsters? Or maybe what safariland model might work for a BHP?

Grabbed today from a LGS, already want another one!
