Girsan P35 Match - 11/06/22
I headed to my local range/gun store to shoot a few recently acquired rimfire handguns and while signing in I asked to look at a Girsan long slide 10mm 1911 they had in the case. Kyle handed it to me and while I fiddled with it he went behind the closed doors and came out with another box. This being a Girsan P35 Match, their version of a custom Browning Hi-Power. I have been awaiting one of the SA reintroductions but have only found one here for $1K. My thoughts of the perfect P35 were the customs of Bill Laughridge or Wayne Novak, both high quality and priced so. I spent a fair bit of time handling the Girsan and decided to buy it. The following day day I put 100 115 gr Win white box through it. All shot and cycled well. The trigger sucks at 7 1/2# but I can sort that. Accuracy was as good as I can see at the 25 yards I was shooting. Bottom line, with some bench work to sort the trigger it appears to be a great piece.
