I like it! I wonder what the street price will be?

 

[KokomoDave]

Oh sure. Wait until I buy this and come out with a lightweight virgin. I mean version. That stoopid mag disconnect sux and is omitted on the more expensive ones. The trigger isn't terrible as is. It feels like 4 bumps before breaking. It requires steps versus removing the disconnect on a real Hi-Power. It's not difficult but then again, I am an experienced gun plumber (armorer). Check YT for videos if you don't feel comfortable doing surgery. I think I had it out in 10 minutes while drinking Mountain Dew and watching the dogs chase squirrels.
Good luck finding a holster for this new LW railed PI 3.88" barrel with rail also!
I probably will buy one if I can afford it when available to the GP.

I paid $535.00 shipped with taxes from Dunham's. Not bad for big box store. The local b&m wanted a LOT more for the same pistol. Think MSRP + tax.

Different model (full size) of course, but $399 https://www.cdnnsports.com/eaa-high-power-mc-p35-9mm-black-and-gray.html

Rail on a hi power just seems like an abomination, but PI version would be cool, though the PI specific parts could be hard to come by.

I like it as an evolution of the high power. Don't even mind the rail, but that beaver tail is just hideous. First thing I would do is recontour the crap out of that

Especially on what’s supposed to be a more concealable version.

Exactly. I never understood that why they want to put big ass beavertails on what is supposed to be a concealable handgun.

I know some people whine about getting hammer bite on a BHPs... but I have owned, shoot and even today concealed carry BHPs since 1985 and I have yet to ever receive a hammer bite.

I would love to see a top down picture of it to see just how deep the hammer pocket is and if it's possible to recontour that beavertail.

You want to put it on a 1911 that's fine. On that it's hideous.

Another thing that's hideous is the Ruger-like billboard sized read the owner's manual warning on the frame. That's so ugly

Don't most modern firearms have that now?
Is it law that they must do that?

 

[KokomoDave]

Liability lawyers require it.

 

[Expat]

I have to say, that’s a good looking pistol…

My Springfield Armory sa-35 doesn't have that

I see lots of new guns without it.
