The Hi Power is an old favorite, of mine. I miss the style and grace of the old guns. Nothing like high gloss blue and walnut. Great review. Keep it up.

I bought one yesterday. It was a 100% impulse buy, done with very little research. I've wanted something in the Hi-Power platform for a little while, but I didn't want to spend way north of a grand to do so. Most everything I've heard has been positive past the early production extraction problems. I shot about 75 rounds through it yesterday with no problems. I think I got a great firearm for the money.

Thanks for your comments on the SA 35. I too have one and think at the price point they did a nice job. Also I did not notice the scrap marks on the the rear sight until you pointed them out, but they are there on mine as well. I really like the gun and find the sights much to my liking. It is much more accurate then my Belgium made P-35 with a satin nickel finish and adjustable sights. For me this is a range gun only and I only have 300 rounds through mine without any issues. If I wanted to carry it, I would need to change out the safety spring and plunger to make the safety more positive. The only other enhancements that I would do are a wide flat trigger and stippling the front strap. The only real knock I have is that it should have come with at least 2 magazines.

Got one after waiting a year. Love the SA35. I have an original Browning High Power III that was tuned up by Terry Tussey and Cerakoted. I also had Pachmayr bumper pads installed on the bumper base pads. The new SA35 t3igger was a bit creepy, so I pulled the sear and hammer off my BHP and swapped it. Now, the S35 has a super crisp, clean break trigger. I also pulled the Pachmayr rubber bumper base pads off my old magazines and changed them with the new SA35. Bought Lok palm swell grips and they really nice. Shoots very well. It takes night stand rotation and carry when I go out. Mine is in the 25XXX serial number and haven't had any malfunctions yet.

Nice cover of the SA 35. Mine is in the 16k serial # range. The extractor came chamfered and polished. Some rough machining marks in the extractor channel and slide. An afternoon dehorning the sharp edges and some replacement hard pins from BH spring solutions and it runs like a top. Also, +1 on the grips commentary.

I have 3 Browning Hi Powers, a 74, 75 and I think a 2018 I bought a few years before they stopped making them. All with adjustable sights and the high polish bluing. For the price the Springfield is a really good buy and a great pistol. I would have one but because they are not on the "approved" roster in Commiefornia we can't get them. I agree with you on the grips, they could have done better. I hope you have a Happy New Year with more new guns to show us.

I think you'll find that you'll thoroughly enjoy that handgun. I enjoy both of mine and I have an early 1600 series and a 6400 series. My 1600 required some finishing up and replacing of the extractor and the spring for the extractor and some deburring and the 6400 series works beautifully right out of the box. I'm not surprised it took a while to get one because they're still very difficult. I just got extremely lucky and happened to walk in at the right time and had the money in hand to get it

I have a an early and a later SA35 I have two. First one is a 1600 series serial number and the second one is a 6400 serial. The 6400 serial number works perfect. Not any issues. The 1600 had failure to extract within the first 300 rounds. I got the BH spring solutions upgrade kit and I replaced the extractor. They kept the original spring. Still had the failure to extract. I replaced the spring and the failure to extract wood away but I also when I first changed out the extractor I also went in with a Dremel tool and a small deburring bit and took off all the little burrs that was on it and down into the little hole where the spring goes and took out the burgers for that too. I could have sent it in to Springfield to have them do it but other people were having issues and sending it to Springfield and they were still having the issues. So I went with what somebody had found a solution for and just went with that and after that I had no issues. But I still had to change out the spring and the extractor but like I said my 6400 series no issues

They said send it back. Poor tech support and some intrinsic manufacturing issue? Don’t want to send it back again. Tired of hassle. Feel bad selling though it would sell right away. Don’t want to screw another shooter. Very accurate and it doesn’t work. Compare that to my amazing Sig p210c!
