I just picked up from my FFL the CDNN marketed FN HiPower P35 S/A in Matte Finish with a 10rd and 15rd mags. Price was quoted as $449.00, still a great deal. The gun is a fantastic dark matte with black plastic grip panels. The gun is very tight and will need to be loosened up in the best way possibel. The trigger is tight also, with a heavy SA pull that breaks very crisply. I would say the pull is in the 6+ pound range. It is short and strong. I like a heavier SA pull anyway. Gun came in a nice FN case, cleaning kit, great manual, 1 fired case and lock (ugh) a 10rd MecGar mag and a 15rd KRD mag.
Is anyone familiar with KRD? I am not.
I got two more Argentinian blue 15rd mags that in were good condition and prob just need a cleaning. The salesman threw in a FREE Mereco 4" knife with the order.
I just love the way a HP feels. The safety is ambi, and on the smaller side, but engages nicely. The sights are good sized with white lines. The slide release is perfectly sized for action with my trigger finger (I am a lefty). I am going to switch the mag release to the right side as HPs are the only double stack my thumb can actually reach right side release without shifting my grip.
I may have to get the hammer bobbed as it seems a little longer then my last HP. It could be my hands are getting fatter (most likely) but I will blame the design right now to compensate.
I cant wait to shoot it and give a range report. I am so happy to have actually gone through every 9mm I could find over the last few years, always measuringt them against a HP I used to had and sold.
Well, I eventually went back ... here is the list of guns I have gone through.
CZ85
SIG 226
Glock 19
Walther P99
SW 6913
Star Firestar +
XD 40
HK USPC 45
Steyr M9
1991 A1 Colt Combat Commander
HPs are the bomb.
