Trigger Pin Removal Punch for the SA-35 and BHP

This Trigger Pin Removal Punch is a simple, functional tool built for a specific job: getting the trigger pin out of your SA-35, BHP, or Girsan MC P35 without damaging the frame. At $20, it’s a cheap fix compared to the cost of a bungled trigger job or a trip to a gunsmith.

Why you need this punch. The factory trigger pin on these pistols is tight. Using a standard punch or a nail often results in the tool slipping, which dents the frame or mars the finish. This punch is machined from steel and heat-treated to handle the force required to drift that pin out. It’s a one-time purchase that will last through many builds or armorer tasks.

Specs and fitment. Designed specifically for the Springfield SA-35, Browning Hi-Power (BHP), and Girsan MC P35. It works with the factory trigger pin geometry in these frames. The punch is used to drift the pin from the right side of the frame, pushing it out the left side. That’s the correct direction for these models—going the wrong way can bind the pin or damage the frame.

What you get.

• A machined steel punch, heat-treated for durability.
• 100% Made in the USA by Apex.
• Reduces the risk of denting or scratching the frame during trigger removal.
• Works for both removal and reinstallation of the trigger pin.

Real-world use. If you’re swapping triggers, cleaning the trigger group, or doing any work that requires pulling the trigger pin, this punch saves you time and frustration. It’s not a gimmick—it’s a tool that does one thing and does it well. No need for a full armorer’s kit if you’re only working on these specific pistols.

Installation tip. For a detailed walkthrough on removing and reinstalling the trigger pin, check the Apex installation video here: https://youtu.be/w-lzY2pi-1M. The video shows the correct technique to avoid binding.

Bottom line. $20 for a tool that prevents a $200 frame repair. It’s machined steel, heat-treated, US-made, and purpose-built for the SA-35, BHP, and MC P35. If you work on these pistols, you need this punch in your toolbox.
