A surgical clip applier includes a handle assembly and an elongated assembly configured to releasably engage the handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a trigger and a drive bar wherein pivoting of the trigger through a full actuation stroke translates the drive bar through a full drive distance. The drive bar has a magnetic distal end portion. The elongated assembly includes an inner drive assembly including a magnetic proximal end portion. Upon engagement of the elongated assembly with the handle assembly, the magnetic proximal end portion of the inner drive assembly is configured to attract the magnetic distal end portion of the drive bar to move the drive bar and pivot the trigger such that the trigger is pivotable through a reduced actuation stroke to translate the drive bar through a reduced drive distance.
