Springfield Armory is releasing the new SA35, the "Queen of the Nines". Real sights, no mag safety, better safety and redesigned hammer to eliminate hammer bite. And for $699!

Saw that , I just got this earlier this month , I have to start saving again :-\ The cycle just keeps cycling
-
Good luck trying to find one!
-
That seems like a nice gun for a good price, if you can find one.
-
It appears they all went directly to the auction sites.

Recently procured one. It was easy, I work a gun counter these days and check in the inventory. I "poached" the first one. $588 out the door. Runs like a dream, absolutely the best out of the box gun I have ever owned. Springfield did their homework on this one!

Thanks for the report.

It looks great, but I bet it still bites my hand. I've always wondered why they don't just extend the tang.

I haven't seen one loose in the wild yet, perhaps a good thing for my wallet.
I do have two Springfield products, the above EMP made 6 /2020,
I grabbed at my frendly LGS on consignment. (PO had traded it in for a Hellcat)
and a 1911 Milspec made 12/2015 I'm quite fond of.
I also have a Browning like, MAB PA15 Military which was originally purchased in a US Army PX Heidelberg, Germany 1981.
I'll treasure, it was the last trade with my late best friend just days before he passed . :(
MAB PA 15 Controls are Browning Hi-power like, in fact FN Herstal owned financial interest in MAB.

If they only came in .45 I might get one.

Well, you need "something" in 9mm just so when the apocalypse comes you will be able to shoot any 9mm ammo you come across. :D Right now my only 9mm is a Keltec P11. Thinking I need a 9mm 1911, but then I've never shot a Hi-Power. I should try one out some day. Had a CZ75B once that was super-reliable.

I never had a 9mm until a few years ago. I committed a sin by building a 9mm 1911 out of Rock Island slide & frame, the guts are Wilson Combat. It shoots very nice. Since then I bought a Sig 226 and the SA-35. I cast all my own bullets for the ammo. I enjoy shooting the round, but I agree, there is no replacement for displacement. ;D

I saw an article lately, FN is producing High Power's again too, but they're "new and improved" so maybe the Springfield version is more true to the original design.

I understand the FN is priced almost twice as much. I don't see how it can be twice as good as the Springfield. We shall see.

Springfield seems to have corrected this problem. I have around 500 rounds through mine, excellent trigger, no bite, decent sights, no jams.....yet.

Almost bought a post war FN a few years ago. but the serial number had been shaved :o
a MAJOR NO-NO ! ........nooooooooooo
-
Hi YEARS AGO, the BATF would put on a new serial number if you turned it in. A friend of mine did that on a 16 gauge that he found somewhere in water (if memory serves) before 1980. No clue what they'd do now.

I've had read where a BATF S# can be applied (though I don't know the procedure) or if that is still the case (laws change).
I believe it pertained to a gun that never had a serial number.
There was a time when a number was not a universal requirement.
An FN was not one of those, the gun in question had grip tape where the shaved S# should have been.
The gun could not be legally sold without the S#. The consigner/possessor was so informed.
The possessor (I use that, in leu of OWNER :-\) was given the benefit of doubt and was advised to disassemble the gun for parts and destroy the frame.
Having it is a felony.
