A Classic Revisited: The Inglis P-35 N “Hi Power” 9mm Semi-Auto Pistol from SDS Arms - Lipsey's Bulletin

The greatest firearms designer who ever lived was John Moses Browning, and this fact is beyond dispute. From Browning’s fertile mind sprang a great variety of firearms, many of which remain popular well over a century after their introductions: from single-shot rifles, to manually-operated repeating rifles, to semi-automatic rifles, to semi-automatic pistols, to fully-automatic machine guns, to anti-aircraft and anti-tank Military machines, the world has never seen the equal of the humble Utah gun designer’s genius.

John Browning’s first design remains one of my favorite firearms: the simple, elegant Winchester Model 1885 single-shot rifle. Perhaps Browning’s most famous design, the 1911 pistol, remains wildly popular 114 years after its adoption by the U.S. Military, and with good reason. But Browning’s final design was, in many ways, his best pistol design: the P-35, or, as it came to be known, the “Grand Puissance” or “High Power”.
