Girsan has gone one better with the new P35 Match. This pistol features a flat trigger and adjustable rear sight. When the frame has a light rail, the variant is called the OPS.

The slide lock is an extended type, compared to the original Hi-Power. This control works well when conducting speed loads.<\/p>\n<p>A high-profile magazine catch is another touch that aids in speed loading the piece. The primary difference in the frame, compared to original and close clones of the Hi-Power, is the light rail. The light rail brings the Hi-Power to 21st-century standards. Perhaps the modern low-reflection finish does as well.<\/p>\n<p>The frame features a scalloped-out section behind the trigger guard. This helps lower the centerline of the bore\u2019s position over the hand. A low bore axis results in less muzzle flip. At the base of the front strap, the frame is also re-designed to flare a bit, keeping the hand secure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"621\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Coyote Glock 19 top and Girsan MC P35 Hi-Power below\" class=\"wp-image-81874 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?w=621&amp;ssl=1 621w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?resize=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?resize=150%2C139&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?resize=621%2C576&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"621\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?resize=621%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Coyote Glock 19 top and Girsan MC P35 Hi-Power below\" class=\"wp-image-81874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?w=621&amp;ssl=1 621w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?resize=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Girsan-MC-P35-5.jpg?resize=150%2C139&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Girsan is thinner than the Glock 19X, top, but heavier. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The picture I get is of a well-designed pistol sensibly upgraded for modern shooters.

The OPS, my personal choice, is perhaps an even better overall choice.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Are you a Hi-Power fan? How does the Girsan MC P35 compare to John Moses Browning\u2019s original design?
