Description
The Browning Hi-Power has one of the richest pedigrees in handgun history — John Browning's final design, it served over 50 militaries worldwide and helped define what a 9mm pistol could be. The original John Inglis Co. in Toronto famously produced Hi-Powers for Allied forces during WWII after the Nazis overran FN's Belgium factory. SDS Imports has revived the Inglis name and brought that legacy forward in the form of the P-35B, a modern tribute built for today's range and collection alike.
What Sets the Inglis P-35B Apart from Other Hi-Power Tributes
The construction here starts right. Both the frame and slide are fully forged from 4140 carbon steel — no cast or MIM parts in the mix. The 4.7-inch barrel is also forged and machined from 4140 steel and finished in hard chrome for long-term durability. The rifling is button-cut with a 1:10RH twist, which produces consistent accuracy across a wide range of 9mm loads. The integral barrel ramp geometry is a strength of the original Hi-Power design that feeds modern hollow points better than a frame-mounted ramp, and Inglis has carried that forward here. The overall fit and finish draw frequent praise from owners — the slide cycles smoothly, the feed ramp is well-polished, and the pistol feels every bit as solid as its forged construction suggests.
The P-35B also ditches the magazine disconnect safety found on original Hi-Powers, which is a welcome change for most. You get a firing pin block safety instead, along with the extended ambidextrous thumb safety and classic ring hammer. Sights run on the standard Browning dovetail pattern, with a brass bead up front and a black rear — a traditional, clean sight picture that works. Because the P-35B follows Mk. III Hi-Power dimensions closely, it's compatible with most Hi-Power holsters, Mec-Gar magazines, and a wide range of aftermarket grips.
The Inglis P-35B in the Hand
The black chromate over electroless nickel finish gives the gun a deep, purposeful look that pairs nicely with the checkered Turkish walnut grips. It's a pistol that looks like it means business without being flashy about it. Unloaded weight comes in around 31 oz, which is substantial enough to absorb recoil well but still manageable for all-day carry or extended range sessions. The single-action trigger breaks cleanly and has earned consistent praise for being smooth without the grittiness that plagued older Hi-Power triggers. Two OEM Sabatti 15-round magazines ship with the pistol, and SDS backs the whole package with a 1-year limited warranty plus a lifetime service plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Inglis P-35B have a magazine disconnect safety?
No, it does not. The P-35B omits the magazine disconnect safety found on original Browning Hi-Powers, which is a popular change among Hi-Power enthusiasts since it improves trigger feel. It does retain a modern firing pin block safety for passive drop protection.
Are the magazines that come with the P-35B compatible with other Hi-Power magazines?
Yes. The P-35B follows Mk. III Hi-Power dimensions, and the included OEM Sabatti magazines are widely reported to interchange with Mec-Gar and other standard Hi-Power pattern magazines. This also means the pistol can take advantage of a wide selection of readily available aftermarket mags.
Will standard Browning Hi-Power holsters fit the Inglis P-35B?
In most cases, yes. Because the P-35B closely mirrors Mk. III Hi-Power dimensions, it fits most holsters designed for the original Browning Hi-Power. It also accepts most Hi-Power compatible parts and aftermarket accessories, which is a big plus for anyone already invested in the platform.
What kind of finish does the P-35B have, and how durable is it?
The P-35B is finished in black chromate over electroless nickel, which provides a corrosion-resistant, hardwearing exterior. The barrel itself is hard chrome finished for added longevity. The overall finish quality has drawn consistent praise from owners for being smooth and evenly applied.
Is the P-35B suitable for left-handed shooters?
Yes. The extended ambidextrous thumb safety is operable from either side, making this pistol a solid option for left-handed shooters who want a traditional single-action 9mm. Most Hi-Power pattern guns are right-hand only, so this is a meaningful advantage of the Inglis lineup.
Where is the SDS Inglis P-35B manufactured?
The P-35B is manufactured in Turkey by Ozerbas Makina to SDS Imports' specifications and imported through Knoxville, Tennessee. The pistols are built to a high standard using fully forged steel construction with no cast or MIM components.
