Published on April 21, 2023
Duration: 16:26

The Girsan MC P35 OPS offers a factory-customized take on the classic Hi-Power, featuring upgrades like a 15-round magazine, G10 grips, and an optic cut. However, significant quality control issues, including a loose red dot sight and a detached front sight fiber optic within 100 rounds, detract from its value. Accessory rail compatibility is also limited, making the $820 price point questionable despite its custom appearance.

Quick Summary

The Girsan MC P35 OPS offers custom Hi-Power features like a 15-round magazine and red dot sight, but suffers from quality issues. The front sight fiber optic detached within 40 rounds, and the red dot sight came loose under 100 rounds, raising concerns about its $820 value.
