GIRSAN MCP35 OPS WITH RED DOT

Shop this product for a ready-to-run semi-auto platform backed by all-steel construction and features that matter on the range and in training.

Design and Construction

The Girsan platform uses an all-steel construction and a short recoil operated slide to provide robust durability and predictable cycling. The extended beavertail and G10 grips improve control during follow-up shots, while the straight trigger gives a consistent pull that many competitive shooters appreciate. Practical touches like the beveled magwell speed reloads, and the integral Picatinny frame rail allows for weapon lights or lasers without aftermarket adapters. Listed price is $770.99, positioning the pistol as a value-focused option for shooters seeking steel-frame performance.

Optics and Sights

The optic-ready slide ships with a FAR-DOT red dot optic pattern already integrated for quick mounting and co-witness capability. Complementing the red dot is a fiber optic front sight and a windage/elevation adjustable rear sight, giving a backup sighting system that pairs well with the dot for rapid target acquisition. These sighting options make the pistol flexible for close-quarters defense and precision drills. View product details and pricing.

Ergonomics and Controls

G10 grips provide tactile, non-slip contact while the extended beavertail reduces slide bite during aggressive presentation. The straight trigger and crisp reset support faster strings of fire, and the beveled magwell helps less-experienced shooters achieve consistent reloads under stress. The Picatinny rail also makes it simple to outfit the pistol for low-light scenarios.

Performance and Practical Use

Short recoil operation in an all-steel frame yields predictable recoil impulse and longevity with regular maintenance. The package is tuned for shooters who train seriously — the optic-ready slide and adjustable sights let you zero for your preferred setup, and the controls are laid out to support safe, repeatable handling. With a retail price of $770.99, it’s a competitively priced option for someone stepping up to a steel-frame, optic-ready semi-auto.
