Girsan MCP-35 Match. Browning High Power clone. Old is new again..

[@titan_o7]

My god, your intro music is amazing. I just stumbled upon your gem of a channel and that intro alone deserves an immediate sub. Phenomenal production quality and your breakdown is clear, direct, and logical. Great job man.

[@rdrgear]

Thank you Ethan. We appreciate the sub. 🤙

[@brewtal420]

Keep up the good work man!

[@danielhenderson8316]

That's pretty much what I thought of mine before I sold it. The trigger needs a lot of work. It seems all they did was take the msg disconnector out and put a flat trigger in. I might buy this gun again later when the shorter version of the Match with the optic cut comes out and can send it off to MK3 for their single stage trigger job and getting their faceting/stipple job on the front and backstraps.

[@gonerydin4225]

I really don't mind the trigger. Mine pulls 4lb. 6oz. average and is pretty clean. It's weird that they all have the same front sight defect. Mine oddly did not fall out from shooting but I was able to easily flick it out with my fingernail. Easy fix. (the fiber is 1.5mm diameter for anyone who cares) I also feel like the grips are plenty good for a 9mm pistol. I don't need to change a thing. MecGar sells 15 round BHP magazines that work great and are not too pricey.

[@The_Tactical_Sombrero]

Good to finally see a reviewer with good shooting form.

[@rdrgear]

Thank you for the compliment. I been pulling triggers for a min. I appreciate the watch as well.

[@JosephHarris-xp6ph]

Beautiful pistol-I'll have to put it on my wish list to get.

[@ssn711]

This pistol squashed the used HiPower market.

[@fpav4049]

I agree with how beautiful and well-made it is. I replaced my barrel with a Brownell's barrel. Original wasn't accurate at all.

[@markchambers2812]

Thanks

[@bmiller9456]

I appreciate your insights! As a fellow Utahn, I’ve got to ask: where are your shooting? Is that a range, an I just haven’t caught the name of it?

[@rdrgear]

It’s the farm training center. West of lehi.

[@bmiller9456]

@@rdrgear I thought it looked familiar! I did some training there with the previous owners. Great place to train!

Nice.

[@judahmourns2995]

Did you ever get It back from Mk3?

[@markchambers2812]

I like brass bead on my front site , can that be done to the EAA ?

[@judahmourns2995]

Mk3firearms can do It or BHSpringsolutions LLC

[@markchambers2812]

How’s the trigger, will in get better in time of shooting more rounds ??

[@rdrgear]

A little take up. By the break is solid and Crisp. The best one I have reviewed so far.

[@andreyavich]

What diameter fiber optic does it take. Mine came out as well at the range

[@gonerydin4225]

1.5mm. I replaced mine before is fell out, but it was loose.

[@556ChannelHD]

Well under 500 mark? What do you mean, price? This is not a sub $500 gun.

[@electrickid101]

I found one for 499 . Was 530 with tax and background

[@MrSpiker06]

My front fiber optic has fallen out all 5 times I've taken the gun out. EEA is really no help. Gun shop has ordered a whole new front sight to replace it.

[@andreyavich]

Same issue here. Do you know what size fiber optic it is. Mine came out and I lost it whilst at the range

[@MrSpiker06]

@@andreyavich We think either they drill the hole out too big or there's a something sharp on it. I'm having a whole different site put on tired of messing with it.

[@theshadow8694]

So where can I buy this for under $500?

[@rdrgear]

I have seen them on my local gun exchange. And I’m sure if you make The effort to hunt you will find it.

[@danielhenderson8316]

Some occasionally pop up on GunBroker for about $500 but they disappear quickly.

[@andreyavich]

I got mine from exile armory about that price

[@Homecar220]

Buds has them for about $580 as of 4/4/2023

[@556ChannelHD]

@@rdrgear NOT A SUB $500 dollar gun bro, doesn't matter if you found one for that price or not. That is not what the market is selling them for. More like sub $600.

[@jeffreymumm4483]

you can buy this exact model with the optics cut.....but I think an optics on a 90 year old pistol like a HI-Power is blasphemous.

[@rdrgear]

On an actual high power i 100% agree. On a clone gun, do as you wish. It’s just a fun range gun at that point.

[@Yelladog78]

Less than stellar trigger & multiple complaints in the comments about the fiber optic falling out. Thinking I'll wait for them to address those issues before I'd buy one

[@ignaciogutierrez4756]

they are beautiful but they have come out defective

What? No optics cut? Psshh

[@traeucity6087]

Did you plan on competing with this gun, or is it that you just can't shoot without an optic?

[@TheWeekendShooter308]

​@@traeucity6087 that's that fud talk

[@TheWeekendShooter308]

@Trae UCity it's 2023. An optics cut slide is almost mandatory at this point. Especially for the price of this gun it would be nice to have the OPTION. nobody said anything about anyone's ability to do anything. Idk why you felt the need to go there like that made any fuckin sense

[@traeucity6087]

@@TheWeekendShooter308 , Really? Says who? You sound like the typical sheep FOLLOWER. I like how you avoided my questions. You can't shoot; just like those you follow. That's why you be-LIE-ve it's almost mandatory.

@@TheWeekendShooter308 , That's fine. This supposed 'FUDD' can shoot really well without optics mounted on my handguns. Any kind of handguns. The scalded cat screams the loudest. That's why you got butthurt. Build your skills, newb!
