FN re-enters the P-35 game

[Corse]

I know the girsan was mentioned as a traditional HP, but it looks like an updated one will be available with an optic cut version in the near future.

Sad that the Girsan looks the most interesting to me with the best set of features...

I ain’t mad ‘bout what they did with this gun… but you’re not wrong.

Agreed.

Considering the 92 magazine is an evolution of the BHP magazine... I'm giving FN an A+ for cheeky effort and not introducing another proprietary magazine.

I would have written this one off completely, but I have a lot of Beretta mags. When it comes out with a rail, optics cut, and aluminum frame (and JMCK makes holsters), I take a longer look.

They should call it something else. When it shares no parts or even mags with the BHP, it should not be called that.

Not only because of nostalgia or because it's plain dumb - but also because trying to find parts for one or the other will now be that much more of a pain in the ass.

What is the source of information that indicates Beretta 92 magazines are compatible with the new FN High-power? That would be a plus indeed.

But if it doesn't have the look, feel, etc. of the old hi-power, why not just grab a 92x Performance Defense with some Langdon love (aside from the dumb beavertail and vertex grip which I hate)? Basically, I'm saying, I'd rather have a SA only LTT with their RDO cut if I was wanting a SA 9 mm at this point. Honestly, I think I'd prefer that over a Staccato for the benefit of cheaper magazines that I have a ton of...

I'm going to stop thinking about this FN abomination now and go dry-fire my LTT. Thank you Langdon... lol
