Trigger Pin Removal Punch for the SA-35 and BHP

Description

This Trigger Pin Removal Punch is a purpose-built tool for owners of the SA-35, Browning Hi-Power (BHP), and Girsan MC P35 pistols. At $20, it’s a small investment that protects a much larger one—your firearm’s frame. The factory trigger pin in these guns is notoriously tight, and using a standard punch often leads to marred metal, dented frames, or a stuck pin that ruins your afternoon at the bench.

Machined from heat-treated steel in the USA, this punch is designed to drift the trigger pin cleanly from the right side to the left, just as the Browning Hi-Power design requires. No guesswork, no slippage. The tip geometry and hardness are matched specifically to the pin and frame recess on the SA-35, BHP, and MC P35. That means the force goes into moving the pin—not into deforming your frame or peening the punch tip.

For anyone who carries a SA-35 or BHP as an everyday carry (EDC) piece, keeping the trigger mechanism clean and properly adjusted is part of reliable performance. Whether you’re swapping in an aftermarket trigger for a crisper break or just doing routine disassembly for corrosion prevention (a real concern along the Florida coast), this punch makes the job straightforward. You’re less likely to round off the pin head or scratch the inside of the frame—common headaches that lead to sloppy fitment or rattling parts later.

Key benefits for the coastal shooter:

• Frame protection: The punch’s precise fit reduces the chance of denting or scratching the frame during trigger pin removal—critical for maintaining the corrosion-resistant finish on your pistol.
• Lifetime construction: Heat-treated machined steel stands up to repeated use in humid, salty air. This tool won’t rust, warp, or mushroom after a few jobs.
• 100% USA-made: Built to APEX specifications, with consistent hardness and tolerances you can count on for years of shop or field use.
• Fits your pistol: Designed specifically for the Springfield SA-35, Browning Hi-Power, and Girsan MC P35. No modification or adapter needed.
• Clear procedure: Drift the pin from the right side out the left side of the frame. For step-by-step visuals, see the APEX installation video (linked below).
