Don't confuse this with the other P35 project, there'll be no mills, laser welds or nanoceramictechnomagic here.
AIM Surplus has these for sale, 409$. Or 429$ for a later model, like I got. Good deal.
Dry fired the Hi Power until my hands are bruised. Thoughts so far:
The plastic grips it came with are definitely slightly better than no grips at all. Slightly.
Trigger shows a lot of promise. It's gritty and a lot of take up, but it still has a mechanical snap break to it.
The trigger pin requires a press. No amount of beating would get that thing out. Very annoying.
Absolutely adore how dainty the slide is. Tiny. Cute. Slender. Love that.
Mag release is surprisingly grippy. Uncommon.
No need for a beavertail. Non-chunky hands.
Obviously the sights need work, but they're actually very good in the day.
Slide release is easier to get to than most modern pistols. Only HK is doing better here.
Similarly, the takedown procedure is incredibly easy. Massively better than a Glock. The M&P is a shining example of ease though.
The gun is very nearly exactly as tall as a Glock 19, carries as many rounds and is thinner. By a lot. A real lot. Wow, how is everyone not concealed carrying this?
Basic changes coming up next, thoughts, work and measurements incoming.
