A look at Springfield's SA35 take on the old classic Hi power here's the rundown and what we think of it after higher round counts and many range trips. c b productions 2023 fc F2223
Awesome review and updates. I've had mine for several months and I love it more than my original. Very accurate and such a smooth shooter. So glad I waited for a later model. No malfunctions after 650 rounds.
I consider myself a high power aficionado. I own 6. 4 Fn and two browning. All of them but one have the sloppy floppy spring thing going on. Working as intended. Does not affect anything.
The more you shoot a pistol, wear will occur. However on metal frames and slides, I have found applying Enos Slide Glide light gun grease helps a lot..
Had to send mine back after a couple handle rounds. They replace extractor spring, pin and guide. Work good first 60 Then doing same Again. Sending it back. They are really nice and fixing for free Including shipping
Very nice review. Thank you, Mine is serial # 28XXX. So far no problems. My left side front of slide is wearing like yours at the front and is a visible loss of finish. Hoping they fixed launch problems.
Did he mention the trigger pull weight ? I don’t have the Springfield HP but I had Girsan MC P35 out of the box the trigger weight is more than 8# , my mechanical Wheeler trigger scale only can go up to 8#. How about the SA35 trigger pull weight, hmm something hiding here ?
The spring was pretty sloppily done. Since they were updating the design, they should have done a self-contained spring assembly or double spring like so many guns today. Maybe they could still offer those? They also need to offer several different sight options at least after market. IF the extractor issue has really been solved, then all good otherwise.
Good review. I've had several original Mark 3s & a couple Praticals dual tones. What are the 'issues ' that you had with it? I wanted one the last couple years but stayed away because too many problems.
Communism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a classless society in which all property and resources are collectively owned by the community or the state. In a communist system, wealth and goods are distributed based on need, and private ownership of the means of production (such as factories, land, and resources) is abolished. The ultimate goal is to eliminate social inequalities, exploitation, and class distinctions. But- I guess that means that you can't buy this gun huh.
If I was to improve this gun I do the following... A) Make it optics ready B) put some groove across the top to minimize glare C) Maybe put a really short rail on it but this might take away from the classiness of the gun overall
I'm pretty sure J.W said Springfield slightly altered the hammer spur to reduce or eliminate hammer bite. As far as slide contact, it's not a likely problem as long as the shooter grips it correctly.
If I were to get another 9mm handgun, it would be either this or the Sig Sauer M11A1. As it is, I am loving my Beretta M9 and am going to be looking for a companion Century Arms AP5 (MP5 semi auto clone)
The Springfield is hands down a much better weapon than the Girsan. The Girsan has a magazine disconnect. Meaning that you have to have a magazine inserted to fire the weapon. The Springfield’s trigger is a much MUCH better than the Girsan. In fact I think it is better than the FN made hi power. Yes I do own a Browning HI power. It is a FN made in 1968. I do not like the magazine disconnect. It is frustrating and takes away from the trigger pull being smooth.
Nice, but I would prefer the Indian made clone of the WW2 era Canadian Hi-Powers made by Inglis, the 'Pistol Auto 9mm 1A' from Rifle Factory Ishapore. Better for WW2 reenactment for a start. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_Auto_9mm_1A
Mine is the same as yours, a great gun with a high number serial #.

that's breaking in😅
@kc0lif The gun grease will help prevent excessive wear, with the break in, and beyond that.
Really love that gun !!!
Nice! Wish someone would make the detective model again.
I believe Girsan is making a compact version.
Those Argy guns were great
Glad it is running well for you brother

BHP Springs has a good replacement for that guiderod...

Nice haven't seen one yet
Is the spring being that way allow the SA35 to shoot +p ammunition?
So cool, wish I could buy one, but I’m a slave of communist CA
Wait we can’t buy them? Because I know of a local gun store near me sold one and I live in california.
Real slaves weren’t allowed to move
They make a California model with a 10 shot reduced capacity magazine.

Any slide/hammer bite?

I have around 600 rounds through mine with no hammer or slide bite.

Series f and series c are made in which country?
Slide, barrel and frame are made by tisas in turkey and assembled by sprinfield
NOT American made......parts made in Turkey. Springfield doesn't make anything.
At that point you might as well get the Girsan copy and I hear that they’re good.

@@dougglaus9256 easily removed Goober
It is my understanding all the parts in the SA 35 are forged and made at Springfield Armory. No forgien parts.
@@michaelmcshane6280 hahahahahhahaha..SA Doesn't make anything
spring looks crooked, it shouldnt be bent like that, just straight. might be the cause of your nick on the end of your slide being one-sided.
