My first pistol was a Danish Army surplus M1946 FN BHP and I carried the BHP at a couple of companies in Iraq doing contracting. Loved them but ammo capacity and worn out mags and old guns made me get a G19 on the black market instead to carry when I could.
I haven’t been this excited about a new/old gun in a long time. I had a Belgian made hi power back in the 90’s. I traded it during the “wonder nine” craze. I’m still kicking myself for that trade. Haven’t had one since then. For some reason, when I saw this, I knew I had to have one. I’ve already ordered a bunch of magazines in anticipation of it.
Picked one up in my area $799.00……Love it, insanely accurate and easy to shoot..!!!
I just stumbled on this channel and I'm impressed with your knowledge. Also like your command of the English language which is sorely missing from many gun related channels.
Thank you for the simultaneous compliment and the hilariously scathing indictment of other channels!
I wouldn't say "because America" in explaining the Hi Power's appeal. John Browning was American, true, but the finished gun is only partly his. He worked on the prototypes, and died in 1926, long before the finished gun hit the market. The final product is really more the work of his protégé at FN, Dieudonné Saive. Then the final pistol was adopted by lots of different armies around the world, but not by any branch of the US military. I'm sure the Browning connection is a large factor in its appeal, but not the whole explanation. It's just a really great gun, and the few things about it that people didn't like (e.g. hammer bite, too small safety lever, magazine safety) are things that Springfield Armory has corrected with this version. I'll buy one, once the initial feeding frenzy dies down.
Awesome video. The SA-35 frame and slide are both made from forged carbon steel. *There’s no MIM parts on the gun. -So says Springfield. I highly question their extractors as the early models (back when this video was made), were junk. I really think that they’re extractors were MIM and/or just soft mild steel. This is why I have a Cylinder & Slide spare tool steel extractor and also a BHSpring solutions extractor in my parts inventory. If and when I see that my SA-35 extractor is failing, I’ll replace it with one of the above. My SA-35 is in the high 18XXX range of serial numbers and I believe SA fixed their early teething issues with extraction failures.
First off, kick ass guitar riff!!!! I’ll make more comments after I watch the video to the end.
I love this channel bro I found you two days ago and I’m binging your vids lol 😂
Thanks for watching!!!
Over 35 years ago when I started executive protection the bhp was the carry gun but it had to be tuned to feed jhp I am glad it’s back but I question the reason for bringing it back? What are your thoughts as to why?
to make money
35 years ago was Beretta, Sig Sauer (of West Germany) and still the venerable 1911. Glock was just getting its feet wet too. I’d say the BHP was far from 35 years ago with American “executive” protection. More like 45 years ago, if that. It was the Unicorn in American circles.
You commented that the original HP's 13rd mag capacity wouldn't fly in today's capacity-crazed market, but don't you think there's value in the HP's grip being 1/2"-3/4" shorter than the 17rd guns? And, there are 15rd factory (Mec-Gar) HP mags that don't extend the length of the gun at all.
Mag base plates would be a seller. Nothing out there currently.
I resorted to cutting down Beretta m92 mag base plates; they fit mag body precisely, but toe is way too long.
Nice break down Hilton. 👍
I always liked the shape and natural point of aim of the BHP, and thought it concealed well, I believe its a relevant design like the 1911, I would have no
problem carrying one, but in my mind, it is hard to compete with the original Belgium Brownings like the Auto 5 and BHP, but modern sights and a DLC finish arent a bad thing ?
Nice Video! Thanks! Subscribed

If you want a 10/8 sight for a BHP , my gunsmith fit a NM version to a MK2 fir me with no issue
Is this the first pistol manufactured by SA? The CZ clone you mentioned was an imported pistol from Italy and made by Tanfoglio. Their 1911s are assembled using imported parts, the slide and frame manufactured in Brazil. The small MIM parts from who knows where. The XD is a Croatian pistol. This BHP clone is “made” in the U.S.? For $700? Seems like it’s a bargain if true.
The Springfield SA-35 is made with no MIM parts. 👍
No MIM parts for sure?
Seems too good a deal
Is that info from S&W brah?
Thanks 🦾🇺🇸
Well from SA…not sure S&W had much to say about it
Lol
Sorry and thanks 🦾🇺🇸
Did we forget when Springfield and Rock River Arms, through their now-former lobbying outfit, the Illinois Firearms Manufacturer’s Association, traded their opposition to a Prairie State retailer licensing bill for an exemption to that law? This was back a few years ago, and they only changed their toon when their actions became public and they had to backpedal. Their sales have since been in to toilet that XDs were almost being given away by gun sites.
Did you forget when Bill Ruger was in favor of "reasonable" gun control, including limiting magazine capacity? Let this go already. Dennis Reese apologized, Springfield donates a ton of money to pro 2A organizations and the company makes fine firearms. Lots of us make mistakes, including me. They owned up and I've forgiven them.
@@buggin1951 well said.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone wants to be a Glock 19 killer just like everyone wants to be a BMW M3 killer… both G19 and M3 is still around pretty strong.
It’s meant as a retro reissue, no sane person thinks it’s a Glock replacement or anything modern at all.
@@108Performance I just checked GB…. Someone wants 1500 for one, that’s insane.
@@pittwm people have lost their damn minds on this. It’s MSRP is a fair enough price.
@@108Performance exactly.
It's not at all rational , but I'm getting one when the price becomes sensible - with the intent of carrying it .... because FJB .
What's the difference in a crack baby and a Glock creek lol bhp all the way the gun before pushers and marking took over rationality ha ha ha 🤣
Wow Springfield. Thank for making a gun that no one asked for. It's not like we don't want a 2011 from you guys...
Do not confuse your personal preferences with that of the rest of the gun buying public. Lots of people love the Hi Power and are happy to see it back in production at an affordable price, and with all the features people to took it gunsmiths for already incorporated.
@@Hibernicus1968 facts…I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the highest selling gun of 2021. This gun is going to sell like crack. I will probably end up buying 2 of them.
Is this a joke? No Picatinny rail... No ambidextrous controls... No front slide serrations... No adjustable back strap... No loaded chamber indicator... No nitride finish? hammer fired... single action only. Why not bring back the Heilongjiang hand cannon?? It's a dinosaur. I'll stick with my Canik Mete and Armatix IP1. And how is this thing better than a CZ-75?
