Action Enhancement Kit For Girsan High Power Pistols (MC P35 Series) – Tank Tread Hammer
This action enhancement kit for Girsan High Power pistols (MC P35 series) – Tank Tread Hammer combines a billet steel Apex Wide Flat Trigger and the Apex Tank Tread Hammer, both machined from solid bar stock. The kit replaces factory internals with a wider trigger face and a serrated hammer designed for more consistent ignition and a cleaner trigger break. It drops into the MC P35 frame with minimal fitting, giving you a measurable improvement in trigger control and lock time without changing the overall profile of the pistol.

Key Features
- Wide Flat Trigger Face – The 0.31-inch wide face lets you place your finger lower on the trigger, improving leverage on the pivoting trigger system. Why it matters: Better leverage means a straighter rearward pull, reducing the tendency to push shots left or right under stress.
- Tank Tread Hammer – Inspired by the work of the late Jim Garthwaite, this hammer uses a serrated face to provide positive engagement with the sear. Why it matters: Positive engagement reduces hammer follow and inconsistent trigger reset, which matters in a defensive pistol where split-second reliability counts.
- ArmorLube™ Duplex DLC Finish – A proprietary DLC coating that outlasts standard black nitride in salt spray and abrasion tests (per Apex Tactical). Why it matters: In a humid safe or a sweaty holster, this finish won’t rust or wear off quickly, keeping the trigger pull consistent over thousands of rounds.
- Billet Steel Construction – Both parts are machined from solid billet, not MIM castings. Why it matters: Billet steel holds tighter tolerances and handles higher round counts before wear affects trigger feel.
- Drop-In Fit for MC P35 – No gunsmithing required for most frames; simple pin swap installs both components. Why it matters: You can upgrade your trigger at home with basic punches, saving a trip to the shop and keeping your gun running the same day.
Who It’s For
This kit is built for preppers, survivalists, and rural shooters who carry or store a Girsan MC P35 as a primary or backup defensive pistol. If you’ve felt the factory trigger stack or noticed the narrow trigger biting your finger during long range sessions, this swap fixes both issues without adding bulk to the frame. It also works for competition shooters who want a flatter trigger face and a faster lock time in a classic High Power platform.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Noticeably wider trigger face reduces finger fatigue during high-round-count training.
- Pro: DLC finish is tougher than most factory coatings; survived a 72-hour salt spray test per Apex.
- Pro: Hammer serrations give a tactile reset you can feel through the trigger shoe.
- Con: Trigger overtravel is not adjustable with this kit – you’ll need a separate overtravel stop if you want a hard wall.
Comparison
| Feature | Apex Kit (this product) | Zev Technologies Pro Flat Trigger for Hi Power | Factory Girsan Trigger/Hammer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trigger Width | 0.31 in | 0.30 in | 0.24 in |
| Hammer Type | Tank Tread serrated | Spurless skeletonized | Standard spur |
| Finish | ArmorLube Duplex DLC | Black nitride | Blued |
| Material | Billet steel | Billet steel | MIM steel |
| Price | $200 | $175 (trigger only) | N/A (factory part) |
| Drop-In Fit | Yes | Yes | N/A |
The Zev trigger is cheaper but only includes the trigger shoe; you’ll still need a hammer. The Apex kit gives you both parts for a complete ignition upgrade in one package.
FAQ
Does this kit fit the standard Browning Hi Power or only Girsan?
Per Apex specs, it fits Girsan MC P35 series and most Browning Hi Power pistols with standard trigger and hammer pin sizes. Some older FN Hi Powers may require minor fitting on the hammer strut pin hole.
Will this change the trigger pull weight significantly?
It typically reduces pull weight by 0.5–1.5 lbs compared to factory, depending on sear engagement. The hammer’s serrated face does not change weight by itself, but the improved leverage from the wider trigger makes the pull feel lighter.
Is the ArmorLube DLC finish safe for concealed carry?
Yes. The matte finish has no glare and resists sweat corrosion better than blued or nitrided surfaces. It passed Apex’s 72-hour salt spray test with zero rust.
Do I need special tools to install this kit?
Only a 1/16-inch punch and a small hammer. The trigger and hammer pins push out from the right side of the frame. No press or sear jig needed.
