Krdshrk 3,877 Posted October 27, 2021 I saw the release email from Springfield Armory. Looks pretty darn good. No magazine Disconnect safety, they redesigned the hammer too. Has a pretty good safety on it as well, though it's not ambi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's a looker...if I can find one...lol The safety is an easy fix/replacement if ambi is your thing. I dropped a SFS kit in one of mine and it makes for incredibly reliable SA carry. Not that I mind SA carry anyways. I would be interested to see how accurate it is... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyB 4,322 Posted October 27, 2021 I have a 1911 and always wanted a High Power but I'm going to buy this instead of the High Power. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted October 27, 2021 Here's a good review with a decent comparison. Sounds like this is a winner... https://www.recoilweb.com/review-springfield-armory-sa-35-the-modern-browning-hi-power-171049.html American Rifleman had a good review too https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/springfield-armory-sa-35-high-power-classic-modern-american/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does it look like a 1911 and hi power had a kid? It looks a lot like a regent BR9 with a nicer finish and safety. maybe slightly cleaner machining. It looks like a hi-power.

I mean it's not an opinion. Here s a pic of the new gun next to a BR9 next to a WW2 FN hi-power. That's just what a hi-power looks like. I mean it was designed by JMB after he made the 1911. It's a kind of cousin, but it's not a mash up of a hi-power and 1911. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang69 505 Posted December 22, 2021 The small LGS I use up here in NH has a waiting list of 15 people for this. His distributor has them on backorder with a limit of 5 per store at a time. To say it's in high demand is a major understatement... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this time - I am just gonna wait - I have enough to keep me busy and was looking for a project. They will free up soon enough, probably be given a shitty overall review by some shooters who do not understand it, or will not work on their own gun etc. Just got around to doing a trigger job on one of mine - ill post it in another thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
