About the Girsan MC P35
Girsan is a Turkish firearms manufacturer that produces the MC P35, a steel-framed, single-action semi-automatic pistol closely based on the classic Browning Hi-Power design. It is chambered in 9mm and intended for use as a duty, home defense, or recreational shooting handgun.
How the California versions differ
- All four versions share the same caliber (9mm) and barrel length (4.87 inches), so they do not differ in size or ballistic capability.
- The standard MC P35 comes in a conventional finish with traditional Hi-Power styling.
- The MC P35 CAL is offered in a two-tone Black Chrome and Rose Gold finish, giving it a distinctly decorative appearance compared to the base model.
- The MC P35 CAL Liberador features a special edition name and trim package, distinguishing it cosmetically from the standard CAL variant.
- The MC P35 CAL Liberador (Gold) adds a gold finish to the Liberador configuration, making it the most visually striking option in the California roster lineup.
Who it suits
The MC P35 family appeals to shooters who appreciate the classic single-action Hi-Power platform, whether for range use, home defense, or collecting, with the special-edition finishes particularly suited to collectors or buyers seeking a visually distinctive firearm.
