A reposable surgical clip applier () includes a handle assembly () and an endoscopic assembly (). The handle assembly () includes a housing () defining a body portion () and a fixed handle portion () extending from the body portion () and a trigger () pivotably connected to the housing () and movable relative to the fixed handle portion () between an un-actuated position and an actuated position. The endoscopic assembly () includes a proximal hub () configured to be selectively engageable with the housing () of the handle assembly (), an elongated shaft () extending distally therefrom, an end effector () supported at a distal end of the elongated shaft (), and an inner drive assembly () including a proximal portion () and a distal portion (). The proximal portion () may advance within the distal portion () upon a blockage of the end effector assembly () to permit the trigger () to return to an un-actuated position.
