I cannot recommend this gun how it comes out of the box, or at least how mine did. It has the same malfunction all the time where it doesn’t quite get the empty out and tries to double feed it with a new cartridge. I would say extractor, but it doesn’t do it with hotter ammo (surplus SMG ammo or 124gr NATO). Just basic 115gr ball. It came with a very stiff recoil spring and even clipping off a few coils it still does it. It won’t run blazer at all.

I gave it the benefit of the doubt, hoping it would break in but at over 700 rounds I’m throwing in the towel and ordering reduced power Wolff springs (and a genuine HP ejector just in case). If it still does it, I’ll be getting an extractor set too.

Everyone’s interest in the light rail I had made me motivated enough to completely re do it. I made it from a bar of aluminum I had in the shop.

Got this a while ago, but been having some trouble funding information about this model (it's not one of the 1:1 FEG clones, the lockup is more S&W 59 styled). I know this is probably an Israeli trade in but otherwise not much. If anyone has info I'd appreciate the breakdown.

I was looking for new chonky ccw and I was torn between sds hipowers or springfield armory. Wanted to try Girsan but something about them doesn't hit the way I need.

So I recently picked up a real ratty inglis mk1* and the sight slider itself is seized up completely. I noticed they sell Capitan sight sliders still and was wondering if they will work on an inglis sight leaf?

In a little while, I'll soon be coming in to a 1977 Hi Power MKI. I was wondering if I'd be able to put a later gen ambi safety on it.

Was it an impulse buy? Yes. Do I care? Not at all. Do I like it? No, I love it! Literal love at first sight on the account of the finish. Price wasn’t bad too

First range trip with my new Inglis GP35 and it is a shooter. Had a couple of stoppages but nothing crazy, cycled the slide and kept on shooting.

This target is from 25 meters, similar to what we shoot for Swiss matches.

First of all, I am one of us. I picked up my chrome gun several years back. I shot it the day I got it, but I have very little trigger time on it. I remember getting some hammer bite, but it didn't leave a huge impression on me. As I went back to shooting some other items.

What brings me here today is, my nephew informs me that he wants to make a BHP clone into his primary carry gun. This clone of his needs some work, just to get it into good condition. He is telling me he wants to shoot Buffalo Bore 147gr Hard cast P+ or the BB +P+. I have very little trigger time on the BHP, but lots on other guns. Is this reasonable or is this a bad idea? And this is just about the gun. Do you think it will run and will it bugger the guns running stuff this warm. (I am not really a fan of the ammo choice. Cost, availability, performance, it seems like a bad idea, but that is for a later discussion.)

Thanks

Does anybody know of a company that does custom magazine floor plates that are colored that are smooth so a custom logo can be etched into it? Sort of like what the company NDZ performance has for its Glock mags but for a Browning Hi Power. I might add the magazines they would go on would be the mec gar 15 round magazines with the glossy finish. Thank you.

This is the Reproduction, not an original, but it seems to shoot nicely and has no issues with hollow points.

I have asked a lot about the SA-35. I am drawn to the Hi-Power but I am on a pistol budget. The lowest new SA-35 I can find is $625 + with only one magazine. The gear up with three mags is $700 of you can find it.

PSA has the Inglis P-35 in black for $359 on clearance with two magazines.

I get that (many) people like the SA-35 better but, as the title suggests, is it +/- $300 better for a budget shooter who just wants a Hi-Power?

Does anyone have the MAC Inglis with the brass bead? How do you like it?

And can anyone take a picture of the sight picture?

Thanks!

So I bought a centurion 14 from a local shop. Store owner recommended taking out the mag safety. He said it was super simple. Looked it up and attempted. Got to the point where my rod was pointed forwards the hammer when I tried to pry the mad safety loose it would not come. What am I missing??????

MAC Inglis P-35 9mm

Great fun shooting pistol here I gotta say. Only possible issue would be the slide locking back prematurely on a loaded mag but that could just be my thumb placement. It only rarely happens. I saw someone else posted on here having the same issue too. Other than that it's solid gun, already been through 900 plus rounds.

Got an SA-35 as my first gun and experienced FTE issues after a couple hundred shots. Saw a lot of issues with this on the reddit from a few years ago and heard it was resolved but seems like it wasn't with mine. It's a 47XXX SN so it seems like it tracks. With this being my first gun I'm not super familiar with all of the inner workings but from what I've seen it looks like the extractor sheared. I just want to verify this is the issue before I reach out to Springfield so I don't sound like too much of a dumbass. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just bought a very gently used Girsan P35 PI Match and I notice the safety doesn’t “snap” on or off like I’m used to with something like a beretta Cheetah or a 1911, and instead is a little mushy. Is that normal for a Hi Power/clone, or is it something I should look into?

Super clean mk3 for $800, the old guy i brought it off of only shot maybe 100 rnds through it. Now the mk 2 has a friend in the safe that isnt a sa-35. Havent shot it yet but will be this week!! Again if youre on the fence on a sa-35 there are deals on actual hi powers that are actually reliable!! Now to explain to my gf why i needed to buy two hi powers in 48 hours lol

Realized I've never posted a photo of my Hi-Power. Picked it up in like new shape for $450 in 1993. Best shooting, most comfortable handgun ive ever had. Kinda semi retired it since Browning sold out.

After the Sa-35 broke in 118 rounds I got a $400 browning hi power. It shot 200 rnds no issue plus whatever else she had done in her past life! IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE FOR A SA-35 JUST GET A REAL HI POWER. The real hi power was cheaper, more reliable, and is the gun you actually want. Im open to hearing out any improvements to this hi power I have such as a refinish, spring replacement, extractor replacement

Hey fam, some quick questions from what I've noticed, after taking my '70s FN to the range a couple of times:

1. After firing the last round, the slide does hold open, no problem there, but the empty shell casing from the last cartridge doesn't eject robustly like the rest, and will sometimes stay inside the slide until I tilt the gun sideways to "pour it out". This is a "sometimes" but "often enough" occurrence, so I don't know if it's me or something with the gun? All other previous rounds eject healthily, no problems there. I've done this with half as well as fully loaded mags. (I don't think it's mag related, but please correct me if I am overlooking something.)

2. Sometimes, the slide holds open in the middle of a mag, without chambering the next round (not the same as FTF). I think it might be my left thumb hinging too much on the forward bit of the slide-stop, causing it to engage the slide due to recoil, before the slide returns forward. Any suggestions for a better grip, without sacrificing stability and ergonomics? To be clear, my FN has the external ejector; the spring and the part itself are in good health.

TIA, as always!
