Interesting - I like it.
|
|
I'm old, cranky, and some might say, dangerous.

I have an original Canadian Inglis. I never realized that beneath the ugly black paint, it had a color case hardened finish! I will be busy this weekend removing that paint.
Relax, no original Inglis pistols were harmed during the writing of this post. |
|
|
I really like the minimal markings... the Girsan MC P35 is a billboard with all of the branding, warnings, serial numbers, etc. Seriously detracts from an otherwise elegant design and why I've never considered one.
Are these forged slides, frames, and internal parts like the Tisas 1911s? |

Inglis L9A1- MSRP $489.99 Inglis P-35B- MSRP $549.99 Inglis P-35 N- MSRP $ 549.99 Inglis GP-35 case hardened- MSRP $649.99 The L9A1, Looks like a nice Military style P35 copy, BUT that Case Hardened Version is really sweet looking !! Seriously wish that they would offer an Aluminum Frame version, AND a Shortened LW Detective version. Nickle,,, Not Stainless Steel |
|
|
So are these just rebranded Tisas Hi Powers? If so, how about a stainless one, like the Regency?
|
|
|
no these are not Tisas at all.

Looks more like my Girsan MC P35 with an Inglis roll stamp and a lanyard loop.

Whats the eta? I really like that nickel one. I was going to send out my hi power to get hard chromed but this may satisfy my itch and I’ll leave it alone.
|
|
|
I'm in for one of the nickel jobs. When and where can these be ordered.
|
|

TFB-TV Showtime had posted this very recently. Looks like sometime in March. If MSRP is $489 for the base, I'm curious what the street price will be?
Faithful Hi-Power Reproductions from SDS Imports |

These are one of the few offerings this year that I am excited about.
And the more I think on it, the more I want. I could see both the nickel and case h versions in my hoard. |

I wouldn't trade my WW2 Inglis on one, but interesting nonetheless.

I would really like a solid answer on who really makes these.
And the "appropriation" of the Inglis name displeases me. These have nothing to do with the real Inglis, and is missing a few features to be considered even a copy. |

Who is making 1911 and Hi-Power clones in Turkey? Girsan - Yes. Tisas - I say yes. Anyone else? The Inglis Hi-Powers are being imported by SDS - same company that imports Tisas.
Springfield's SA-35 is rumored to have the slides and frame forged in Turkey. Tisas is rumored to be that company. So someone in Turkey with forged pistol making ability (Tisas) buys the Inglis name, because they are planning to bring back retro Browning Hi-Powers like what they did with 1911s. My two cents. |
|
|
Ironically "Springfield Armory" is another company that recycled a previously enjoyed historical name in firearms and used it for marketing.
It has been done for many many years. |

It's not like Inglis laid off all of its Canadian workers to move manufacturing to Turkey, and Inglis will have better appeal to an American market than Özdemir Silah Sanayi. |

Who could have predicted that in 2024 Inglis Hi-Powers would become Turkish?!?
...talk about Inglis as a second language. |

I had an Inglis I got surplus in the early 90s from Navy Arms - I sold it when I bought my first home. I can't recall what I paid, I want to say like $250ish maybe sold it for a little more.
Never sell your authentic vintage guns if you can help it : ) |

I ordered one; I have a couple Girsans and an orginal Inglis. I took delivery today. Nicely executed. It does NOT have the mag safety installed. The front sight is NOT centered; but I won't move it until I have had a chance to see where it hits. The lanyard ring would make left hand shooting a bit of a pain, I think. Sights are clean; but I prefer a bit more air beside the front sight when aiming; old eyes and all. It's a Mk3, but it does have the large visible oval pin/cross lug, unlike the other Turkish GP35s I have seen. The serial number is stamped across the lug, which seems odd. Attached File |

I can turn it with heavy resistance, but it's not threading out. It would be easy enough to tap out with a punch. |

The trigger pull is VERY nice for a GP35. About 4 pounds, and extremely crisp. The reset is actually noticeable as well. I have had 2 FEGs, 3 Girsans, and an original Inglis Mk1*; and have handled FNs. This is the best of them. It should improve with some breakin as well.
No MIM parts, either. |

My springfield has a nice trigger too. I had bought 2 c&s kits for my fn’s but sold my mk2 and was going to install one in my springfield but I feel its not needed.

@sdsimports any word on the nickel version? I want one in nickel so bad. I was going to get a tisas commander in nickel but prefer the high power.
|
|

Double post.

If anyone ever finds out what actual Turkish firm/factory is making these, let me know. I really want to find out.
Nothing in the manual gives any clue. Is there a way to find the import permit? |

I can confidently tell you that they are not made using the same tooling or drawings. |
