Springfield Armory and Hi-Power?

[wingrider1800]

Maybe we can get a super special secret price on a group buy.

I got to shoot a HP during a NATO weapons class/range firing at Ft Bragg, later when we spent 3 weeks with 2 Para we got to train/shoot with the SLR (Fal), GPMG and Highpower....fun was had by all. There is a lot to like with the SA-35 via some video linked here on Ingo the SA-35 has an interchangeablity of parts with the FN pistol to include magazines. I think John would be happy with the effort. I liked the way the HP shoots and the feel of the weapon and at $700. I know what I'm going to ask Santa to put under the tree.

I wonder if they thickened up the front strap any? HP's are very thin, if they do get checkered it's usually very fine 40lpi like Yost does, I can't imagine trying to checker something 40lpi across all that front strap real estate!

I am hoping they thicken up the front strap since they went to the trouble to remove the mag disconnect and clean up the trigger. Worst case I was thinking something like the texturing Nighthawk used to do on Hi-Powers it was very neat.

Browning Hi Power | Nighthawk Custom

The Browning Hi Power offers perfect balance, size and firepower, with an impressive 13 round magazine capacity. We took one of the most revered pistols of all time and made it better - we have improved accuracy, reliability, durability, and esthetics!

I’ve always admired the Hi-Powers but have never shot one. Been all striker fired for some time (only still have one external hammer fired gun), but might have to get one of these.

Once the hype dies down, may have to see if they come in under MSRP.

I see these come with one mag, and they improved the mags/increased capacity, but I assume this would be compatible with older HP mags?

Anyone think they will release additional models? I know there were at least a couple of different HP models including a practical.

If I pick one of these up, it would be the only non EDC or EDC trainer type handgun I've bought in an incredibly long time.

I watched the TFB TV video and apparently there are a lot of parts comparability and "legacy" mags work as well it seems. Definitely going to wait on this one and see what the custom shops say they can do with this pistol. Or even better yet Springfield releases a TRP model Hi Power because I want to send this off as a project gun for front strap texturing, have the trigger cleaner up and cut for a RDS like the one pictured below

I'm in lol and I haven't even finished my current HP project.

I will definitely be getting one, but I may wait for a different variation that comes with ambi safety among other things.

 

[jwamplerusa]

I am intrigued!

I only have one hammer fired semi-auto pistol, and had thought for some time that my second would be a CZ. The only other contenders were a 1911, or a high power. The Springfield Armory offering certainly looks very good.

Stopped at the LGS and told them to call me when they get one in.

I currently have an Inglis Chinese contrat HP and an Argentine HP. I can see adding a SA-35 to the collection.

I had to call my LGS from work...but told my guy the same thing.

I sent a text my my buddy Sunday night that runs the gun counter at my LGS and told him to hold one for me when he gets the first one(s)

I love it… and at $700 a deal!!! View attachment 165006

Definitely on the high end of my buy list. Beautiful firearm for what $650 I'm in.

 

[Bluedragon]

That Inglis and FM above is really nice and I like what I see so far with the SA-35.

 

[armalitesheepdog]

Yep. I bet your gonna see higher than MSRP Though in the beginning.
But for $699 I'm in for sure

Got several (3) "in stock" alerts today for SA-35 in stock at Grab-A-Gun. When i checked, they were out of stock.

The price listed for the moment for the "out of stock" is $999.99. Hope that is not the price they are actually going at. I have seen several times with them that when something gets sold out, the price listed goes to to a goofy number for some reason.

It might be a glitch I checked it out and it was switching from 699-999 for me.

Must have early adopters always do that, nothing new, they did the same thing with the Pythons and most new guns.
