Springfield Armory SA-35- Any love for it?

Don't know how i doubled the pic

Nice!

Very nice. Honestly I eventually would like to get one. It’s honestly one of the few newer guns that sparked my interest.

I keep waiting for them to be available at something close to retail price, lol

Long time High Power owner and shooter here. I have shot 3 or 4 different examples of these so far and had one for a few days to play with. I would buy one if not for already having 4 Brownings and a Tisas.

Looks like a nice High Power example! Would love to try one out sometime!

Very nice

I want one, so much, I can taste it...

i would certainly check one out when they show up at my LGS's.

Not a fan of wheel guns so I would say you did good. Enjoy your new gun.

I have one. Wanted one since it was first shown and mentioned in Gun Magazines. When my LGS got one in, I paid a premium for it. After a several hundred rounds, it's just an OK gun. No malfunctions; it just shoot ok. Nothing to brag about. My Kimber's and Walther in 9MM are a hell of a lot better. What I now ow, if I didn't have it, I wouldn't miss it.

Congrats! One of the few new guns I'm seriously interested in. I haven't seen one in the wild but if I do I'll probably buy it.

Sounds like a good trade all around!

Done...

Nope. Local LGS finally sold their lone copy after a month or so. That said, I’m eagerly awaiting FN’s revision in the stainless version, albeit at a higher price.

Like my SA-35, don't quite love it. Trigger is decent but not nearly as good as a 1911. Mine has had zero issues despite the early guns which supposedly had FTE issues. I paid 650 rather than the bloated prices on GB, elsewhere. View attachment 459205

Looks like a fantastic pistol, hope it proves to be reliable and worth the cost.

I picked one up a few months ago and it has been a terrific shooter. I have five Belgium Hi-Powers in various configurations and a Tisas with BSS mods ( including barrel) and my SA-35 delivers the tightest groups of all. Mechanically, it has functioned 100% with a wide range of brass cased ammo. I have not tried it with aluminum. The safety is not as crisp as the others but has presented no problems. It’s a little “spongey”.

I continue to believe that the industry has serious quality control issues. How else can you explain the wide range of good and bad experience with this model or any other production model guns?
