Springfield Armory and Hi-Power?

[WebSnyper]

Haven't looked at SA's clone.

Is it coming with that mag safety crap to pop out?

I'm going to have to do some checking, but if I were a betting man I would bet that mag safety crap was a feature introduced by the French partner of John Moses Browning's final design.

No mag safety in an SA-35

Good improvement.

At some point' there was a post (maybe not in this thread) showing potential SA35 future offerings that included a beavertail on one pistol and a rail on the other, looked through all these posts and NADA, anyone got a line on that picture / add?

I really wish SA would release the SA35 in stainless steel like their 1911 offerings, and also in their armory kote finish for a more matte black FN MKIII look.

I am patiently waiting for somebody to get rid of theirs. It will end up happening and when it does I'm going to do this to it.

A Practical is another nice version of the HP I would like to find.

As a guy who's carried a HiPower of one sort of another for 35 years now, the more I think about it the more I realize I would rather have one of these Springfields than the new FN model. If I was to buy a new HiPower that is...

I 100% agree. That's why I got this over the new FN model. It doesn't have the same lines or the same feel or even the same mystique of an original HP.

The new FN "High Power" is soulless

I don't know about that, I handled a nice used FDE one and should have bought it, the grips a bit longer and feels much better than a standard HP, it had nice factory sights and the trigger was great compared to a standard HP, give it another look.

I also agree, the new "High Power" to me is more akin to a Browning BDM than a true HP.

Very good comparison

I've looked and handled one I just don't like anything about it. I don't think you can get much better than the grip on the original high power

Send it to Novaks for some suitable sights.

Poor comparison lol, the BDM was an abomination.

You're right about one thing-abomination- they're both abominations. Soulless abominations
