Description

The Inglis GP-35 Hi-Power 9mm 4.7 in Case Colored is a forged-steel, full-size pistol that brings the classic Hi-Power platform back with modern manufacturing precision. Chambered in 9mm with a 4.7-inch button-rifled barrel, it pairs a color case-hardened frame and slide with Grade III Turkish walnut grips. This is a shooter’s tool built for durability and everyday carry, with a brass bead front sight and a black U-notch rear sight in Browning dovetail patterns. Per Inglis specs, the pistol includes a lockable polymer case, two magazines, a cleaning kit, and a trigger lock.

Key Features

• Forged-Steel Frame and Slide – Why it matters: This gives you a rock-solid platform that holds up to thousands of rounds without flex or fatigue, unlike polymer frames that can warp under heat.
• Color Case-Hardened Finish – Why it matters: That mottled, vintage look isn’t just for show—it adds a layer of surface hardness that resists wear and corrosion, keeping your piece looking sharp after daily carry.
• Grade III Turkish Walnut Grips – Why it matters: These grips offer a tactile, hand-filling hold that reduces slip when your palms get sweaty, plus they bring old-school aesthetics to your EDC rotation.
• Brass Bead Front Sight – Why it matters: The brass bead catches light fast for quick front-sight focus, making target acquisition snappy in low-light conditions like dusk or indoor ranges.
• Button-Rifled Barrel (1:10 RH Twist) – Why it matters: Button rifling delivers consistent spin for better accuracy with 115-grain and 124-grain defensive loads, and the 1:10 twist stabilizes heavier bullets too.

Who It’s For

This pistol is built for the EDC enthusiast who values classic design with modern reliability. If you’re a daily carrier who appreciates steel-frame durability, walnut grips, and a finish that stands out in a sea of black polymer, the GP-35 fits your carry rotation. It’s also ideal for collectors who want a shooter-grade Hi-Power that doesn’t need a safe queen’s budget.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: All-steel construction for longevity; color case-hardened finish is unique and durable; comes with two magazines and a cleaning kit out of the box; brass bead sight aids fast target acquisition.
• Cons: The color case-hardened finish requires extra care to avoid chipping if dropped on concrete—it’s not as tough as a nitride coating. Also, at 32 oz unloaded, it’s heavier than a modern polymer compact, so you’ll want a sturdy belt for all-day carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magazines does the Inglis GP-35 use?

The GP-35 uses standard Browning Hi-Power magazines, which are widely available. It ships with two 10-round magazines, but you can use aftermarket 13- or 15-round mags that fit the Hi-Power platform.

Is the color case-hardened finish durable for daily carry?

Yes, it’s durable for daily carry as long as you avoid hard impacts. The finish is surface-hardened, so it resists scratches and holster wear better than blued steel, but dropping it on concrete can chip the case colors. For EDC, it holds up fine with a good kydex holster.

Does this pistol have a firing pin block or safety?

Yes, the GP-35 features a thumb safety and a firing pin block, making it drop-safe for carry. The thumb safety is ambidextrous on the frame, and the trigger pull is a crisp 5–6 lbs per manufacturer specs.

Can I mount a red dot on the Inglis GP-35?

No, the slide is not optics-ready out of the box. You’ll need to have a gunsmith mill the slide for a red dot if you want an optic. The standard dovetail sights are brass bead front and U-notch rear, which work well for iron-sight shooting.

What’s the twist rate on the barrel?

The barrel has a 1:10 right-hand twist, which is standard for 9mm Hi-Power barrels. It stabilizes 115-grain to 147-grain bullets accurately, so you can run defensive loads or target ammo with confidence.
