Springfield Armory and Hi-Power?

[BehindBlueI's]

I'm having a hard time finding 15 rd blued mags. My biggest gripe is only giving you 1 mag with the gun. I think that's kinda crap of them

Greg Cote has 13 rounders in stock: https://gregcotellc.com/cart/browni...gent-br9-13-rd-9mm-blued-mgbrhp13b-p-581.html

I only loaded 12 in mine, but had a spare handy. The old T pistol from the 60s was very accurate while I could still see the sights.

Not sure of there's enough material there as is for checkering. It's pretty thin

Yeah, at that point though, it's pretty much just for looks.

Whats with the interweb scuttlebutt about price gouging on these from big online sellers jacking up the price? Any truth to it or just noise?

It’s absolutely true. $1199 is the cheapest I’ve seen it online. TheYankeeMarshall did a video on it and makes some very good points.

Well crap. I guess I’ll be crossing my fingers and hoping for some aftermarket wrap-around grips. Worst case scenario, I have some left over talon grip material. I’d hate to ugly it up but I’ve come to dislike bare front straps.

With the amount of "gun community " folks flipping ammo the last 18 months it's only expected that the same Douche Nozzles will flip a new firearm the same way

You can get both Pachmayr and Hogue wraparounds for the HP.

True, there's still a ton on GB but I think it might be cooling off a bit. There have been some that have been sold in the 800's now and there doesn't seem to be as much bidding frenzy. That one that got bid up to over 2500.00 ended up having a deadbeat buyer and is now relisted and hasn't gone much past 850.00 lol.

But there gone. Probably on gunbroker now

Now 40 of them for sale with no bids under $800 and a couple about to end over $1000

They can have em. I'm not giving anyone the satisfaction of selling me a $700 gun for $1100...I can wait

So I take it the grip dimensions are identical to the original? I saw that grip panels are interchangeable but wasn’t sure about the circumference.

It looks like the dimensions are the same, I already saw a picture of an SA-35 with some Pachmayr wrap arounds on it.

Buying a handgun with an MSRP of about $650-$700 for over a $1,000 is a sign of incorrect mental reasoning. This handgun is not like a uber rare Luger or 1911. It is a reproduction, albeit an apparently good one, and not a future collectible. When I saw the bid on one for over $2,000 on GunBroker I just LMAO. Simply ridiculous if people out there spend that kind of $ on this handgun. I just can't reconcile these prices paid with what reality should be. Ouch!

The SA-35 doesn't have the firing pin safety like the MKIII's.

Thanks for that info. I'm a little disapointed that they did that. The firing pin safety was IMHO a great feature, with little/no performance cost. Maybe I'm just irrational, but I felt better that if the hammer ever slipped the sear, everything was still fine as long as the trigger wasn't back. At least that's the story I told my butt to make it feel better about having a cocked-n-locked BHP pointed at it all day.

Makes me wonder if this was some kind of Patent/legal issue. I can't think of why else they would make that particular choice.

Agreed! I jumped online and found places listing it below $600, just not in stock. Went to gunbroker just to look, and had the exact same reaction you did. Even at MSRP, I'm not sure I want one of the first production runs. Either get >#000100 (just because), or let'em get the kinks out and wait for more real range reports.

Can someone say TRP Hi-Lower with Optics cut , front strap checkering and threaded barrel?? This to me implies more models are planned.

reading my mind. I'm really interested in the optics cut engineering. Old eyes like little red dots, don't like some of the ugly options out there now.

I must be doing something wrong. Never get anything.
Maybe I will check my info with them

If you haven't, maybe check your email settings (and/or have an admin check further up the food chain). Even if they didn't go to your 'junk mail', the messages may have been outright blocked at a higher level.
