A reposable surgical clip applier includes a handle assembly, a shaft assembly releasably engagable with the handle assembly, and a clip cartridge assembly releasably engagable within the shaft assembly. The handle assembly includes a proximal drive member, a proximal pusher, and a proximal biasing member biased to move the proximal drive member proximally such that the proximal pusher bar is moved distally. When the reposable surgical clip applier is assembled, the proximal drive member is positioned proximally adjacent an inner drive assembly of the shaft assembly and the proximal pusher is positioned proximally adjacent a distal pusher of the clip cartridge assembly, such that, movement of handle(s) of the handle assembly towards an approximated position actuates a jaw assembly of the shaft assembly and movement of the handle(s) towards the spaced-apart position loads a distal-most surgical clip from the clip cartridge assembly into the jaw assembly.
