I want my girsan hi power ! And I want it now !

Context of the year of that Browning? And it was built by Browning, and not during an occupied period? It certainly seems to have seen much more abusive use out of historical purpose alone. Early, war-time production, or just after the war?

Only curious, because any of my Browning Hi-Powers from the 1950's onward certainly don't look like that; they look as good as the Springfield in your photo.

The Browning in the picture is a 1993 model, so no occupation or milsurp. This is not a bash on Browning. And for reference, here's the slide from my 1991 with a stainless slide.



You can see the milling marks on the underside of the slide quite easily, but with the gun assembled you don't see them at all. Again, please don't take this as a bash on Browning. And the outside of the gun is in exceptional condition. But one of the reasons that Browning discontinued the HP was it was very labor intensive to manufacture, as apparently they didn't convert it to CNC milling. There are parts of a gun that need to be a 10, and parts that they can get away with a 6 or a 7 for cost savings.

I really don?t care about milling marks and such. I want a gun that goes (((BANG))) when the trigger is pulled every single time. A BHP just goes bang reliably too. Browning > Girsan.

FWIW, the SA-35 > Girsan. Some claim the Springfield SA-35 comes 80% from Turkey while it?s finished in the USA. I have yet to see Springfield confirm this, as their literature always says, ?made in USA.?

i hope it passes the reliability test with a 10 rounder

Have been reading reviews in Firearms News and Guns & Ammo on the Girsan and so far, positive feedback from three different reviews and they generally aren't afraid to call out guns that are unreliable or built crappy.

its an obsolete wondernine once you get one you will soon find out why the glock 17 was made

But where can I get Saint Death grips for my glock ?

I hope they have compact options for the roster soon as well and come out in general with alloy-framed versions of the full size and more basic compact models.
