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.

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...

As soon as I buy my next two handguns, a S&W model 442 and Beretta 92fs I am going to be in the market for a Springfield SA-35

Looks like a 1911 and a High Power had a kid! 
 

That’s sexy as hell.

I have a 1911 and always wanted a High Power but I'm going to buy this instead of the High Power.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Here's a good review with a decent comparison.  Sounds like this is a winner...

Pretty neat, but a CZ 75B SA has it beat I bet!

$1200 - $1500 on GunBroker. 

[brucin 923]

I can wait a year and they'll be selling for less that MSRP.

I still really want one though.

Anyone who spends that, I think is a little nuts....  for a Belgian FN model, in the right shape, sure.  This not so much....

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.

1911-ish lines too me. 
 

You have your opinion, I’ll have mine. In any case, it’s a nice looking pistol.

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.

Aesthetics aside - 

 

it would be nice to know who does the forgings.....

[CAL. .30 M1 2,101]

For the life of me I *cannot* find one !!!

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I emailed them at 3am as I was up - lol - will advise if I get a response.....

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...

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
