Springfield Armory and Hi-Power?

[BigRed3588]

Does anybody have an idea of what kind of time frame we’re looking at with regards to widespread availability? I’m not really up-to-date on production timelines. I’d have to think they’re churning them out.

LGS in Putnam county had three in stock today. So I would think they are out there.

How much though?

I believe they were asking $1300 seems a bit steep. But then again while I appreciate the design I am more of a 1911 guy, so to me not a price I would pay.

Wow, that's crazy, you can 'buy now' on Gunbroker for 1099-1199.00 if someone's that desperate.

Yeah the shop is in an affluent area and to some them immediate want overrides common sense and paying too much.

I haven't spent that much time out in that area, the only shop that looks like it would even have the cred to get allocated some of those is On Target.

I believe on Target is in Murfreesboro. I am not sure how some of the shops around here come to acquire their inventory? I suspect a lot of it involves who you know and the mark up they can get for it. There are quite a few large inventory high dollar places in Middle TN.

There is one shop that I like to go to that actually has a few a New Wilson Combats on hand.

Oh got it, Putnam County TN not Indiana.

Funny if I recall there is a Lebanon, and Nashville in Indiana?

Interesting video on the Browning HP compared to SA 35.

According to the salesperson at a LGS he expects the widespread distribution of the SA 35 will be about six months if the Hellcat was any indication.

 

[Joegrz308]

As I received my SA 35 last week, I got to take her out and put some rounds down range. Couldn’t be happier as my Springfield was accurate, reliable and the best Hi Power trigger I have ever had. The only issue was the rear sight screw was working its way out at the end of my session. A little Loc-Tight and we are good to go.

I just went out real quick and put 2 mags through mine. First rounds since I got it 3 weeks ago. Lol. Ran fine for those 30 rounds as I hoped it would. Problems may arise as round count goes up but for now the initial 2 mags were good. I've read(maybe this thread) that the 15rd mags can be problematic. Sights were right on for combat hold. Hit 6" plates at 15yds no problem. I like well enough. It scratches my itch for a 1911ish double stack 9

 

[drillsgt]

Not sure if they're still available but this dealer had some SA-35's at least at MSRP:

Springfield Sa-35 9mm 4.70" 15+1 Matte Blued Carbon Steel Frame & Slide Checkered Walnut Grip

Simmons Sporting Goods features SPRINGFIELD SA35 HP9201 from SPRINGFIELD INC.

Alright gentleman apparently start expecting extractor issues at around 800 rounds , Garand Thumb basically broke two IMHO and the first pistol he was sent was messed up cosmetically pretty bad too.

This problem pushes the M&P 10mm up above the SA35 on my list. I'm sure they will get it figured out and fixed before long.

 

[NyleRN]

800 rounds you say? Well, for me that'll be maybe 10 years from now considering ammo prices and the fact this gun is strictly a range pea shooter

 

[RetiredSergeant10]

Springfield now makes them, the SA-35. 15 round capacity, no magazine safety, and a proper manual safety. If I really loved the 9mm, I would have one.

Sportsman's Warehouse in Greenwood had one yesterday (gone now). I went out at $649
