Just arrived today…. Fresh out of the box. Not even cleaned or wiped down. Currently at my local LGS for SFS, C&S wide trigger, removal of mag safety, and what ever polishing and attention he thinks it needs.
Finish is really good, trigger is heavy but breaks really clean, frame to slide fit is really nice and tight. Overall it’s a really nice piece…. Only complaint I got is the safety is a hair mushy coming down. I’ll get it to the range hopefully sometime next week.

If that had been on the shelf at my local GS, I would have been interested. As if was, I got an OPS version with hopes for a light when it does bed side duty. I now need a holster for when it makes it into the carry rotation. A question, what are they doing with the finish on the barrels? It looks like a nickle or hard chrome, whatever it is I hope it wears well. I have yet to get mine to the range, hope it does well.

Yep, it's the OPS version, been easier to find a holster with out the rail option, but I kinda figured it for house duty too so as to justify the rail. Maybe tomorrow for the range. ETA: Back to the Mother Ship, it's got the extraction problem as presented in the BH Spring Solutions. |

I need to speak to this, my LGS kindly took the extractor out and cleaned some junk out of the channel. At the moment it's running 100 %. Reading Stephen A Camp's notes, he says that a few thousandths can be removed from the bottom of the extractor, if necessary, to improve the grip on the brass. hth ETA 2: Indeed, I had to remove the extractor and file on the pad a bit. It now grips the brass quite well and ejects just fine. I also ordered a new extractor to have on stand by. I probably ought to shoot it a bit more for proof of concept. |

Decent accuracy Good ergonomics I'm already thinking about which pistol to sell to fund it. https://gundigest.com/wp-content/uploads/MC-P35-OPS-Optic-angle.jpg I'm curious what optic cut that is natively cut for... if RMSc or RMS a Holosun EPS Carry might drop on and have a 'rear sight' to replace the one that crappy dot has. I don't 'need' this... but it is basically everything I've ever wanted in a carry style BHP. I'm keeping an eye on prices... if I run across one at the right price, I'm willing to do the clean up work it may need for final polish. |

It's cut for an RMSc. I junked the original optic and put a spare RMSc on - fits great.

I got this one from Buds. TLR 1 doesn't fit on it. TLR 3 fits well. I've got a Holosun EPS Carry on it and it fits quite well. Feels great in the hand. Getting a holster for it is going to be rough.

I got a PI in at my dealer last week. After cleaning, the very first thing to go was that mag safety. It made a world of difference in the trigger pull! Instead of that crunchy, creepy heavy trigger, it got a LOT smoother and a bit lighter. The MkIII firing pin safety has a spring to overcome during the trigger pull. That means the trigger will always be a little heavier than my FN Hi-Power made in ‘61 with the mag safety also removed or my SA35 as both of those lack a firing pin block like the Girsan has.
The next thing I replaced was the grips. My SA35 was upgraded with a pair of original Belgian Hi-Power wood grips so my SA35 factory grips were handed down to my PI. Much more comfortable and WAY more attractive than the factory MkIII grips the Girsan came with. Now I’m just fighting the urge to get a full sized MC P35 and maybe a FEG clone.

I understand it will take Beretta Model 84 magazines. I’m actually thinking of getting one to keep for my older age when and if my hand strength goes to hell. In that, I think this has a very good market to those with weaker hand strength such and some women, younger shooters and the elderly. This is why I also don’t mind that it’s not the size of a Kel-Tec P3AT. It’s not designed to be an Uber-compact .380 for carrying in a Speedo. It’s designed to be an easy to load and shoot pistol. The compact pistols are easy to conceal but they are harder to shoot as well. You can’t use a 9mm or larger with this design as it requires a caliber that can be fired through a blowback action that lacks an extractor and the .380ACP fits this bill nicely. Yes, it’s a niche gun but one (assuming it is a reliable gun) that fills that role very well. |

Picked this up last week. Trigger pull is awful, gauge says it's about 8 lbs, feels much heavier. It came without the mag disconnect, but the mainspring is heavy, definitely more than the standard 30 lbs. The optics cut is also trash. Front sight is canted left to right and fore and aft. Lockup is nice and tight though, not even a hint of movement in either the slide or the barrel. I'll take it to the range Friday, then it's getting cleaned up.
