Thank you...

It’s a case head separation. Not unexpected with commercial remanufactured ammo. They dump a 55 gal drum of range pick up brass that may have been fired once or 20 times into a hopper on a motorized progressive press and make it into crappy ammo. But at least it’s cheap. If you’re going to buy that stuff you have to assume you are the only quality control it will ever see.

Brass height has nothing to do with it. It is intended to be broke in with 1300 fps or higher ammo. Min 50 rounds. Then when the gun loosens up lower velocity ammo can be used. The high brass is just there to get people who are old school, who remember when Hi Brass meant mo powahful, to buy their ammo. Low or high brass these days doesn't make a difference, unless accidentally. I have both hi and low brass 12 ga ammo that are 1300 fps or higher.

I have an Springfield SA35 it works exactly just like the Browning HP exept it doesn't have a magazine safety

So besides that all 1911 parts are compatible? It’s always been my question. Because I want to do some work on my EMP.

You should get some chronograph data with that 10.5. I am debating a 450bm or 350l for hunting deer in SC. I want to go pistol route. I saw 450 data and it was 2600fps out of a 10.5 with 300 grain bullets which is good.

What trigger is that?

It's really danger, baby..🤣👍

Ditch the trigger use the stock one they say it's the best in the game

im late to the party, but I took mine apart, reversed the spring while on the mag tube a little bit to loosen it up ever so slightly, cleaned and greased everything with CLP, ran 25 1500FPS rounds through it, and it shoots everything from, the cheapest low brass estate rounds and up with no failures to feed, no jams, no stovepipes and I've played with a mix of 3" and s 3/4" shells. With some cleaning, and breaking in, its honestly a beast of a gun. Ive taken it out the last 3 weekends duck hunting mornings and evenings, harvested some mallards and a wood duck.... shes a winner and is outperforming my Mossberg and Benelli nova at the current moment. for $200 you literally couldnt go wrong even if it had a failure here and there, the price to performance is just there for this range of shotgun.

saved your ammo money 👍

Try triple the velocity when using 9mm pistol bullets like 115 grain

Not double the power….it’s double the velocity and that gives you four times the power of the 9mm.

Don't the "G's" refer to that as a ghetto Load. I'll stick to consistency.

Me: Who hurt you? Gun reviewer: (Sheds tear) "John Browning"

Hello, I might add that just because a man pulls the handle on a press does not make the product worthwhile. A lot of folks are happy to make just plinking ammo and that of huge volume count to perhaps shoot various semi auto guns having fun shooting paper and fun range time. And that is great. But I would suggest that there is the possibility that that many folks may load only 5-600 rounds a year not of higher production amounts for a multitude of guns from accuracy standpoint in various rifles, perhaps shotgun ammo … slugs, buckshot, pattern testing Trap , Sporting clays, Skeet loads then proceed to load their favorite ones of them. Then the many selections of handgun cartridges for hunting purposes as well as loading practice rounds for your favorite handgun rounds for home defense/CC etc…. My point is that men do not need to boast numbers nor chastise others based on equating your personal numbers you’ve reloaded to how skilled you are or how unskilled another guy is.. We reload because we love it…. Or because we want to shoot more and do it cheaper, or cater to our guns liking in bullet weights, powder charges and so on. Enjoy what you do! The only competition you have in your reloading room is what you do there and how it performs when you shoot it.

Put it in the freezer for 5 hours and try this

I love the 1911, but hate it's capacity. Love the 2011 but I'm not a big fan of polymer grips in a firearm that was meant to be made completely out of steel. So I own a Double Stack Remington R1 Tactical that is pretty much a Para Ordnance Black Ops 14.45 that I replaced everything with mostly Wilson Combat Bulletproof parts, I mean the whole thing but the slide, frame, barrel, grip panels, and grip panel screws are Wilson. Also added mag extensions and Wolf +10% power mag springs. I'm curious what you think of the Girsan MC P35 ops, the one with the rail and beaver tail because I was thinking of getting one of those and doing the same to a Girsan MC P35 Ops but with Cylinder and Slide and B&H parts? Also what do you think of CZ 75s? I love those and own a 75 SP-01 with the manual safety. I just wish that the CZ had aftermarket thumb safetys more like 1911s in terms of size like the size of maybe the thumb safety on that Springfield SA-35 you've got, those are almost perfect

Fud fud fuddy mcfud

I've seen European guns with defective magazine safeties that would not fire at all. The magazine safety can be a fragile mechanism compared to the remainder of the mechanism. The hipower is supposed to be more advanced than the 1911. I wonder what features it has that are more advanced than the 1911 and why some of those features have not been incorporated into modern 1911s. I also wonder why John Browning designed a gun in that era that used 9mm instead of .45ACP. Did he think 9mm was an acceptable cartridge? Was he trying to incorporate a double stack magazine and he thought .45ACP was too large for that?

Truthful and informing. Can't complain one bit. Way a video should be.

It's a Tisas......

The NIB SA-35 @ my lgs has a very mushy safety. Are they all like that?

This was an amazing and often funny review. Looking to make this my first handgun and this helped a lot with my research.

Mine , runs all 12 ga ammo , I used buck shot and low brass 1200fps , run good after break in😮😊😊😊😊😊

Info I wanted to know. Also wonder about 350L vs 6.8 SPC in pistol formats of say 8"-10"

I never knew I wanted a SA-35 until I handled it about 6 months ago. It took me a few months before I took it to the range but OMG it hooked me from that point. I love my 1911’s and Glocks but this thing was amazing. I had to work at missing the mark on the target. It naturally aimed very good. They are hard to find but if you find one buy it, you won’t regret it. By the way great review.

Very comfortable firearm. I believe some people hate on it just because it’s made in the USA and on top of that California. FMK use to give 3 sets of sights and two mags along with 3 different sizes of the rubber for small to large Shrek hands like Mike has. Oh and a hard case. Great video!

I'm watching a video which purports to be about the Springfield SA-35 and more than 12 minutes in, I haven't heard one word about that pistol.

Great job

I have only one stupid question here: Do you have your wide-screen TV standing on its short side?

Really enjoyed your review.

9mm won’t KB? Do tell 😂

It’s hipower all the way

I'm an armored truck guard/driver and carry the Ruger SR45. Never had an issue with it.

What is the first one?

It is ok though

Having listened to this, RDMF is a perfect description.

Since you only make these videos for yourself, I decided to annoy you and subscribe. 🤪Bought an SA-35 a few months ago, SN 26xxx. Agree with everything you said in the vid.

Better than average knowledge of the platform, but lots of fails. Lack of corporate knowledge of the platform, and it shows. But all in all, an entertaining video. BTW, that isn't an original High Power that you're using as your example - those are MkII/MkIII originals and earlier copies that this SA is patterned from. Not the original T and C series High Powers they replaced. The later versions are a little heavier, slightly bigger, and less svelte in the hand - something those who have never owned a version prior to their MkII/MkIII High Powers will not know. "The damn mag safety", repeatedly. First, the idea that it's terrible that the magazine doesn't dive to the jungle floor, trench floor, etc when you push the magazine disconnect? That's a Bad French Idea from a Bygone Era? Seriously? Some of our good ol' home grown American ignorance on display? Does that happen with the modern service rifles of the USA and the other militaries of the world - push the magazine release and the magazine instantly plummets to the sand beneath your feet or the mud in the bottom of a ditch in a grape field in Afghanistan? Rattle down to the bottom of a staircase you're climbing in Fallujah while clearing houses of hajjis? That "bygone French era"? No - because unlike civvies who have never had all expenses paid trips to the two way rifle range, those of us in the military STILL want to KEEP magazines to be available to recharge with more ammunition when we have the chance. Rifle or pistol of any make or model; don't care, same-same. TICs can last a LOT longer than a gunfight with a carjacker in the Walmart parking lot. Originally, removed magazines got stowed in a pocket or inside our shirts; now we have dump bags. A partially used magazine went back into a different pouch when replaced with a fully charged one ('tactical reload' or something like that for the IPSC/IDPA game guys?). Civilians that play gun games or perhaps may do one magazine change in a self defense situation if the first 16 or so rounds doesn't carry them to the end may not care. The militaries of the world who do carry the handgun into harms way certainly DO care. Fun High Power trivia fact, the last development prototype of what became the FN High Power was the 'Grand Rendement' just two years earlier. Looked almost identical except for slightly smaller magazine capacity and had a magazine disconnect, BUT designed so the magazines fell free. It was rejected by several militaries including the Belgian BECAUSE the magazines fell free, and a soldier would have had to have his hand over the bottom of the magazine, snatch them out of the air, pick them up off the ground, or leave them behind. In short, for military users, it's an intended feature - not what civvies call a bug. Let me know if our current American small arms replacement program includes a requirement that our new rifles' magazines must drop free with the speed of gravity when the magazine release is pressed... Browning, BTW, since the advent of their MkII/MkIII last versions (about 35+ years ago) has been supplying purchasers of their new High Powers with magazines that are spring loaded - giving those who want to see magazines depart from the magazine well with the speed of a dragster leaving the starting line that apparently what they want to see. The militaries of the world have said "no thanks". Second, in my 30 years in the military as a small arms instructor, I trained hundreds, probably thousands of combat arms soldiers on the military FN - just as many other instructors also did. In all of those troops, I never encountered a single one, including the smallest females, who couldn't be shown how fire the pistol to drop the hammer without a magazine in place. But... you shouldn't need to join the military to be trained on how to do that; figure it out for yourself. Alternately, it's described in the original military pam for the pistol; go find and download it... good background corporate knowledge to bone up on when talking about the High Power platform. Third: the wails of anguish that "High Power triggers are terrible!" - reminds me of my salad days in the early 1970s when the same howls went up about new and surplus government spec 1911s and new S&W revolvers in general. Aside from the C series High Power that I bought in the early 70's (meaning, the actual classic High Power, not the MkII/MkIII that these knockoffs are patterned on), I once took my digital trigger pull gauge into the battalion lockup and measured the trigger pull on a couple of dozen of the WWII manufacture military High Powers. All of them still have the magazine disconnect they left the factory with in the 1940s. All of them had trigger pulls that measured around 5 lbs - as does my C series High Power that I've owned, fired, competed with, and is now my daily carry. Which, for a fighting handgun to be used while in a situation where you're pumped full of adrenaline due to the threat, being shot at, etc... is pretty much just about right. Fun fact, the M16 variants in the racks across from the High Powers had trigger pulls that all hovered around the 8 lbs mark. The military seems to feel that light trigger pulls are bad ideas on rifles specifically intended for fighting when intended to be used by troops in a TIC, same as for handguns. Anyways, imagine that! Turns out, just like brand new revolvers, government 1911s, etc, if you actually shoot and train with a new handgun, the parts that move against each other will smooth out. They smooth out even faster if you polish those contact points - in the case of the magazine disconnect, it's contact surfaces with magazines and internals. Might take a lazy man spending more time checking his Facebook feed than the job at hand about an hour to polish it up. I'm not going to tell people to either remove the magazine disconnect or leave it in place - you buy any version of this pistol (or the models of modern pistols built by S&W in the last couple of decades for American police, not French military) with a magazine disconnect, you do whatever you want that makes you feel better about the pistol you bought. If you want a 3 lb. or less trigger pull on a pistol no matter what you intend to do with it - you do that too... your pistol, your choice. But it's amusing to point out that 22 SAS, the Royal Marines, the SBS, FBI HRT when they carried Novak modified High Powers, the general militaries of the world like Australia, Canada, etc NEVER removed the magazine disconnect. In fact, when the Brits modernized their High Powers to add the much better fixed sights and ambidextrous safety of the MkII and MkIII versions, they still left the magazine disconnect in the pistols. And the trigger pull weight wasn't changed either; presumably a 5 lb-ish trigger pull was about what they wanted. 22 SAS and similar specialized units pretty much get pretty much what they want in the weapons they choose, and they have in-house gunsmiths to give them what they want as far as improvements on their weapons. By deciding they wanted the magazine disconnect still in place, is that proof that they aren't as smart as web forum and social media High Power experts? Just askin' - seems to be a legitimate question for the civilian experts. And that original FN safety - not the larger civilian MkII/MkIII safeties? The troops are taught to disengage it with the inside of their thumb joint when coming to the ready position... not to stab at it with the pad of their thumb as has become corporate knowledge here in America with the paddle safeties of 1911s. The advantage being that the small size allows you to put your thumbs wherever you want in the area of the safety. Might not work for civilian users, but worked good enough for the militaries of the world as well as specialized units like the SAS. To quote somebody here: "If you like this or not, I don't care..." I just did it for me after 50 years of familiarity with the platform both on the civvy and the military side... and holes in the information presented here needed to be filled in.

I was thinking like 11.5 to 14.

I have fallen in love with my 350 guns,this is my next adventure,finding a good short barrel length and load for that length.350 can be very versatile especially hand loaded.

Great video!

Today I bought a Citadel Warthog 12 Gauge semi-auto shotgun for $129.00 with a full set of chokes. These Turkish shotguns are really a good value for what you get.

I asked the The Shotgun Scientists if he would recommend this gun and he said no, and to go with the Panzer M4 clone.

Ford Tech Macaluco is the best Ford guy to get info from, no doubt.

I like everything you’ve done to make this a video that has actually demonstrated every possible way to use this firearm, and the fact that you, like me do things your way for yourself.

Am a collector and I buy some just to collect like the Browning Hi -Power and others just to shoot like my Glock pistols. For manual and magazine safeties? Not a fan of them.

Ill be honest bro, I just got back from the range today with my new SA-35. Its in the 35k ranges serial number wise so I'm really hoping the problems these guns had in the first batches has been ironed out by now by Springfield. I also want to add this is my first BHP clone BUT I am an avid shooter who has carried and or trained with almost every platform of pistol there is. From revolvers to 1911's to striker fired handguns. Pistols with fixed barrels and tilting barrels and multiple types of grip angles and sights. I'm pretty well rounded. I think this gun was one of my best performers. I generally stick to 1911's but I am pretty pleased with the SA-35. The trigger is not all that bad. Without the mag disconnect safety it has like a 5 lb trigger pull with a nice break and not much slop at all. The rest however is not AS GOOD, but still usable. I noticed most my shots the trigger reset very positively and I could both hear and feel it very well, but every 5-6 rounds I would notice almost NO noticeable reset on the trigger and it was making me hesitate. Because I was working that trigger and I just wouldn't get a click now and again. Ide slowly pull the trigger thinking it was dead still and nope it fired off. No issues just a little bit of a weird reset on the trigger it seems. No extraction issues, no stove pipes and no errors of any kind impeding my ability to shoot. I was pleased with the accuracy, it performed very well. I will say it feels a tad more back heavy than a 1911. The 1911 is way better balanced over all. The recoil impulse on the BHP isn't bad at all, but it can have more muzzle flip from the way the weight of the gun is spread out. Just means you gotta really drive it out that and keep a good hold on it to keep it all the way flat. Its not hard to control, its just a tad more flippy than a standard 1911 is IMO.

Keep in mind not all manufactured ammo companies are bad. A lot of them are actually ethical and do everything according to SAAMI specifications and standards. You just have to make sure that they say on their website that they do in fact do that. Two great remanufacturing companies I trust are HSL ammunition, callaway ballistics and freedom munitions. There are others, but just make sure they’re SAAMI compliant and it should be fine.
