TFB - Girsan MC P35

European American Armory (EAA) pays homage to one of the most widely adopted military 9 mm pistols in the world, namely, John Browning's iconic Hi Power, or P-35. EAA's latest interpretation of this classic handgun design is the MC P35 made in Turkey by Girsan. This short-recoil operated pistol maintains the sleek, slim profile of the original with an all-steel construction, matte black finish and a 4.625” barrel.

The traditional trigger allows for a short trigger reset and is accessible even while wearing gloves. The serrated ring hammer is easy to cock and is less likely to pinch the shooting hand than the original hammer design. The double-stack magazines hold 15-rounds instead of 13. Other features include an external extractor, dovetailed sights, ambidextrous thumb safety lever, a magazine disconnect safety and textured black polymer grip panels. The MC P35 has a suggested retail price of $528.

Looks like a Mk.III clone.

I wonder which the Springfield or EEA version will be available soonest.
I would not mind owning either.

The Springfield SA-35 has been available for a 2-3 weeks now. It was released on Oct. 25th, and have been on GB, & from other vendors for 2-2.5 weeks. But in short-supply.

If you can find one "available in the LGS" available...

There's a lot on GB if you want to pay the going prices, and then have it shipped to your LGS.

I figured that when Springfield released there High Power clone other manufacturers would come out with different variations of there models now.

Didn’t they already make that?

Well, SA wasn't the first since the Tisas variant was out ~2 years ago, the Girsan variant was announced via TFB before SA's, and there's supposed to be an "improved" Tisas & I saw that a couple months ago on Guns.com.

When it rains it pours so at least there will be 2 BHP variants available in the forseeable future, and we'll see how thr SA-35 turns out with further BHS firing tests, and I'm sure they'll get their hands on the new Girsan for tests like they did for the prior Tisas.

BHS is the most knowledgable outfit on the BHP platform in the USA so they'll give any variant a thorough test.

Two different Turkish companies.

The Tisas variant came out ~2 yrs ago.

Hopefully, Girsan learned from the lessons that Tisas went through,

It looked like EAA kind of announced their BHP clone when they hijacked Springfield Armory's advertisement tease announcing a new product coming soon (turned out to be the SA-35). EAA changed a few things in the AD, including saying "Girsan MC P35 Shipping in November 2021", with a click button to order theirs.
Springfield is suing EAA on this (AD hijacking/copyright infringement), and @SlimPickens' posted it in a separate thread. (see below):
