Info I wanted to know. Also wonder about 350L vs 6.8 SPC in pistol formats of say 8"-10"

I never knew I wanted a SA-35 until I handled it about 6 months ago. It took me a few months before I took it to the range but OMG it hooked me from that point. I love my 1911’s and Glocks but this thing was amazing. I had to work at missing the mark on the target. It naturally aimed very good. They are hard to find but if you find one buy it, you won’t regret it. By the way great review.

Very comfortable firearm. I believe some people hate on it just because it’s made in the USA and on top of that California. FMK use to give 3 sets of sights and two mags along with 3 different sizes of the rubber for small to large Shrek hands like Mike has. Oh and a hard case. Great video!

I'm watching a video which purports to be about the Springfield SA-35 and more than 12 minutes in, I haven't heard one word about that pistol.

Great job

I have only one stupid question here: Do you have your wide-screen TV standing on its short side?

Really enjoyed your review.

9mm won’t KB? Do tell 😂

It’s hipower all the way

I'm an armored truck guard/driver and carry the Ruger SR45. Never had an issue with it.

What is the first one?

It is ok though

Having listened to this, RDMF is a perfect description.

Since you only make these videos for yourself, I decided to annoy you and subscribe. 🤪Bought an SA-35 a few months ago, SN 26xxx. Agree with everything you said in the vid.

Better than average knowledge of the platform, but lots of fails. Lack of corporate knowledge of the platform, and it shows. But all in all, an entertaining video. BTW, that isn't an original High Power that you're using as your example - those are MkII/MkIII originals and earlier copies that this SA is patterned from. Not the original T and C series High Powers they replaced. The later versions are a little heavier, slightly bigger, and less svelte in the hand - something those who have never owned a version prior to their MkII/MkIII High Powers will not know. "The damn mag safety", repeatedly. First, the idea that it's terrible that the magazine doesn't dive to the jungle floor, trench floor, etc when you push the magazine disconnect? That's a Bad French Idea from a Bygone Era? Seriously? Some of our good ol' home grown American ignorance on display? Does that happen with the modern service rifles of the USA and the other militaries of the world - push the magazine release and the magazine instantly plummets to the sand beneath your feet or the mud in the bottom of a ditch in a grape field in Afghanistan? Rattle down to the bottom of a staircase you're climbing in Fallujah while clearing houses of hajjis? That "bygone French era"? No - because unlike civvies who have never had all expenses paid trips to the two way rifle range, those of us in the military STILL want to KEEP magazines to be available to recharge with more ammunition when we have the chance. Rifle or pistol of any make or model; don't care, same-same. TICs can last a LOT longer than a gunfight with a carjacker in the Walmart parking lot. Originally, removed magazines got stowed in a pocket or inside our shirts; now we have dump bags. A partially used magazine went back into a different pouch when replaced with a fully charged one ('tactical reload' or something like that for the IPSC/IDPA game guys?). Civilians that play gun games or perhaps may do one magazine change in a self defense situation if the first 16 or so rounds doesn't carry them to the end may not care. The militaries of the world who do carry the handgun into harms way certainly DO care. Fun High Power trivia fact, the last development prototype of what became the FN High Power was the 'Grand Rendement' just two years earlier. Looked almost identical except for slightly smaller magazine capacity and had a magazine disconnect, BUT designed so the magazines fell free. It was rejected by several militaries including the Belgian BECAUSE the magazines fell free, and a soldier would have had to have his hand over the bottom of the magazine, snatch them out of the air, pick them up off the ground, or leave them behind. In short, for military users, it's an intended feature - not what civvies call a bug. Let me know if our current American small arms replacement program includes a requirement that our new rifles' magazines must drop free with the speed of gravity when the magazine release is pressed... Browning, BTW, since the advent of their MkII/MkIII last versions (about 35+ years ago) has been supplying purchasers of their new High Powers with magazines that are spring loaded - giving those who want to see magazines depart from the magazine well with the speed of a dragster leaving the starting line that apparently what they want to see. The militaries of the world have said "no thanks". Second, in my 30 years in the military as a small arms instructor, I trained hundreds, probably thousands of combat arms soldiers on the military FN - just as many other instructors also did. In all of those troops, I never encountered a single one, including the smallest females, who couldn't be shown how fire the pistol to drop the hammer without a magazine in place. But... you shouldn't need to join the military to be trained on how to do that; figure it out for yourself. Alternately, it's described in the original military pam for the pistol; go find and download it... good background corporate knowledge to bone up on when talking about the High Power platform. Third: the wails of anguish that "High Power triggers are terrible!" - reminds me of my salad days in the early 1970s when the same howls went up about new and surplus government spec 1911s and new S&W revolvers in general. Aside from the C series High Power that I bought in the early 70's (meaning, the actual classic High Power, not the MkII/MkIII that these knockoffs are patterned on), I once took my digital trigger pull gauge into the battalion lockup and measured the trigger pull on a couple of dozen of the WWII manufacture military High Powers. All of them still have the magazine disconnect they left the factory with in the 1940s. All of them had trigger pulls that measured around 5 lbs - as does my C series High Power that I've owned, fired, competed with, and is now my daily carry. Which, for a fighting handgun to be used while in a situation where you're pumped full of adrenaline due to the threat, being shot at, etc... is pretty much just about right. Fun fact, the M16 variants in the racks across from the High Powers had trigger pulls that all hovered around the 8 lbs mark. The military seems to feel that light trigger pulls are bad ideas on rifles specifically intended for fighting when intended to be used by troops in a TIC, same as for handguns. Anyways, imagine that! Turns out, just like brand new revolvers, government 1911s, etc, if you actually shoot and train with a new handgun, the parts that move against each other will smooth out. They smooth out even faster if you polish those contact points - in the case of the magazine disconnect, it's contact surfaces with magazines and internals. Might take a lazy man spending more time checking his Facebook feed than the job at hand about an hour to polish it up. I'm not going to tell people to either remove the magazine disconnect or leave it in place - you buy any version of this pistol (or the models of modern pistols built by S&W in the last couple of decades for American police, not French military) with a magazine disconnect, you do whatever you want that makes you feel better about the pistol you bought. If you want a 3 lb. or less trigger pull on a pistol no matter what you intend to do with it - you do that too... your pistol, your choice. But it's amusing to point out that 22 SAS, the Royal Marines, the SBS, FBI HRT when they carried Novak modified High Powers, the general militaries of the world like Australia, Canada, etc NEVER removed the magazine disconnect. In fact, when the Brits modernized their High Powers to add the much better fixed sights and ambidextrous safety of the MkII and MkIII versions, they still left the magazine disconnect in the pistols. And the trigger pull weight wasn't changed either; presumably a 5 lb-ish trigger pull was about what they wanted. 22 SAS and similar specialized units pretty much get pretty much what they want in the weapons they choose, and they have in-house gunsmiths to give them what they want as far as improvements on their weapons. By deciding they wanted the magazine disconnect still in place, is that proof that they aren't as smart as web forum and social media High Power experts? Just askin' - seems to be a legitimate question for the civilian experts. And that original FN safety - not the larger civilian MkII/MkIII safeties? The troops are taught to disengage it with the inside of their thumb joint when coming to the ready position... not to stab at it with the pad of their thumb as has become corporate knowledge here in America with the paddle safeties of 1911s. The advantage being that the small size allows you to put your thumbs wherever you want in the area of the safety. Might not work for civilian users, but worked good enough for the militaries of the world as well as specialized units like the SAS. To quote somebody here: "If you like this or not, I don't care..." I just did it for me after 50 years of familiarity with the platform both on the civvy and the military side... and holes in the information presented here needed to be filled in.

I was thinking like 11.5 to 14.

I have fallen in love with my 350 guns,this is my next adventure,finding a good short barrel length and load for that length.350 can be very versatile especially hand loaded.

Great video!

Today I bought a Citadel Warthog 12 Gauge semi-auto shotgun for $129.00 with a full set of chokes. These Turkish shotguns are really a good value for what you get.

I asked the The Shotgun Scientists if he would recommend this gun and he said no, and to go with the Panzer M4 clone.

Ford Tech Macaluco is the best Ford guy to get info from, no doubt.

I like everything you’ve done to make this a video that has actually demonstrated every possible way to use this firearm, and the fact that you, like me do things your way for yourself.

Am a collector and I buy some just to collect like the Browning Hi -Power and others just to shoot like my Glock pistols. For manual and magazine safeties? Not a fan of them.

Ill be honest bro, I just got back from the range today with my new SA-35. Its in the 35k ranges serial number wise so I'm really hoping the problems these guns had in the first batches has been ironed out by now by Springfield. I also want to add this is my first BHP clone BUT I am an avid shooter who has carried and or trained with almost every platform of pistol there is. From revolvers to 1911's to striker fired handguns. Pistols with fixed barrels and tilting barrels and multiple types of grip angles and sights. I'm pretty well rounded. I think this gun was one of my best performers. I generally stick to 1911's but I am pretty pleased with the SA-35. The trigger is not all that bad. Without the mag disconnect safety it has like a 5 lb trigger pull with a nice break and not much slop at all. The rest however is not AS GOOD, but still usable. I noticed most my shots the trigger reset very positively and I could both hear and feel it very well, but every 5-6 rounds I would notice almost NO noticeable reset on the trigger and it was making me hesitate. Because I was working that trigger and I just wouldn't get a click now and again. Ide slowly pull the trigger thinking it was dead still and nope it fired off. No issues just a little bit of a weird reset on the trigger it seems. No extraction issues, no stove pipes and no errors of any kind impeding my ability to shoot. I was pleased with the accuracy, it performed very well. I will say it feels a tad more back heavy than a 1911. The 1911 is way better balanced over all. The recoil impulse on the BHP isn't bad at all, but it can have more muzzle flip from the way the weight of the gun is spread out. Just means you gotta really drive it out that and keep a good hold on it to keep it all the way flat. Its not hard to control, its just a tad more flippy than a standard 1911 is IMO.

Keep in mind not all manufactured ammo companies are bad. A lot of them are actually ethical and do everything according to SAAMI specifications and standards. You just have to make sure that they say on their website that they do in fact do that. Two great remanufacturing companies I trust are HSL ammunition, callaway ballistics and freedom munitions. There are others, but just make sure they’re SAAMI compliant and it should be fine.

This review is to be on the new SA but you waste half the review on bashing the original design 🤦🏻‍♂️

You never shoot reloads you didn’t load yourself.

I guess for the price point its not bad just have to deal with the fact of breaking it in like a Old Chevy 🙂

Great video my friend. I can totally relate to the idea of getting rid of every Hi-Power I have had up until this point. But... I have been reading a lot about the SAS and so I felt it necessary to go buy one of the new Springfield SA-35 pistols . Thanks for your hard work on this topic.

Cuz glocks suck dirty bholes

Ohhh that’s this AR-15 all these people are worried about.

Agreed. We don’t know we needed so many cool guns until the gov scammers told us we shouldn’t have them. I have over 20 ruger’s and non are 9mm service pistol.

I’m good to not shot glocks. Period ;) I wrote an article called. What is wrong with Glock.

After watching 20 ish sa35 reviews. Yours is the best. Already ordered one and can’t wait to take it for a ride.

Just bought one today. I have zero experience with Hi-Power type pistols, but I bought one today after not even being in the market for one a week ago. I took it straight to the gun range after two hours of bringing it home and swabbing out the barrel before shooting it. I ran 75 trouble free rounds through it with no issues. This looks like it's going to be a fun gun with no buyers remorse whatsoever. I've put so much money into older collectable Smith revolvers lately. It's great to buy a fun gun for under $700 and not worry so much about it. Plus, it's bringing me into the Hi-Power platform for well under a grand.

What an amazing break down of these series of Ruger pistol’s ….thanks 🇺🇸👍

Great video and great information

I live in New England so I have to run the same drill. Another good idea for you in cold weather is to carry FMJ ammunition. You need the extra penetration to get through heavy jackets and sweatshirts underneath.

I disagree that the P35 made the 1911 obsolete. 13+1 rounds of 9mm is different than 7+1 of 45 auto. Two different animals.

My 1911 has all kinds of holster wear on it from the plastic IWB holster I carry it in. The wear doesn’t bother me at all because I knew it would happen. A 5 inch 1911 45 automatic carries very nicely IWB at 3 O’clock because it’s super thin and hugs my body. Maybe it’s different for other people but I’m thin and average height.

Well, should I buy a Hi-Power? Yep! I just did! Waited a year for Springfield to work out the kinks. It’s a great companion to my three Berettas, M9, M9A3 and 92S, Glock 19 and 48 and Sig M17! Ohh yeah, it’s also great alongside my Mil-Spec 1911, made by the same company.

Man......great review ....I live in California .....I don't know if their going to be available here .....if so I'm getting two of them !

That was hilariously pretty good. I am somewhat blown away in the way people take the word "magnun", as if it does anything physically. Another thing I wonder on is, the primer is JUST an igniter for the powder. Have you tried desyfering the difference in the the charge that ignites in a regular primer from a magnun one? In the lack of regular primers, I was left to buy a tray of magnuns. I will be reloading 100 rds. The same results you had, (none) are what I found to hear from other reloaders. There's no difference. People make it sound like there's more power in the primer than the powder load, not so.

So I accidentally bought some stealth sub sonics for my g17 their lead but theeir total metal jackets or tmc Glock says to shoot jacketed ammo but not lead so it throws me off what do y'all think? 165 grain tmc

Truly, it looks like you got a double loaded round. The blowout the way it did is part of the safety feature of the gun, path of least resistance, as a reloader I have seen this before too. The ejector is the weakest link on the side of the gun, it breaking away allows the pressure to go in a safer direction than up or out. Replace your extractor also check you safety plunger to make sure its still working correctly.

They just came out with the Glock 49 exactly what you were thinking back then the finally did it

Nice drill there Jones. How much for the holster? You know I need one for the 1911 ??

My first centerfire pistol was a Browning HP I bought in the early 90's. It just feels so natural in your hand to point and shoot. I was recently at a gun store and they had the new SA35. Kind of like test driving a new car I made the mistake of handling it in the store and now I own it! I have no regrets (until my wife finds out 😂), it's very well made and a classic design.

It’s four times the energy of a 9mm

Tisas isn't available.
