I finally handled one and it impressed me. Not that that’s saying much but man I liked it.
^^^Completely false.The Springfield is apparently sourced as parts from Turkey…

Yes. I have an in-law that works at the factory.Are you in possession of information the rest of us don’t have?
OT Side Note: While OK has Constitutional Carry, tribal Indian territory within the state may not be. One of the fallouts of the McGirt case is that each Indian nation in OK must set their own firearms laws. According to a lawyer in the Cherokee Nation (CN) Attorney General's Office (telcon April 2022), the CN is reciprocal with the states that OK accepts, but it is not Constitutional Carry. I cannot speak to the remaining nations with reservations in OK. Living across the border in Arkansas and being a CN member, I only checked with the CN, but depending on where you are in the state you may wish to check with the tribal governments in areas you frequent.( Oklahoma is a Constitutional Carry State )

On another side note, the 1791 Gunleather “Browning Hi Power” leather holster covers the gun COMPLETLY. It too has a cocked & locked thumb strap and the gun fits absolutely perfectly within the holster. The leather is thick and formed around the hi-power. Breaking it in took literally one night with the gun kept holstered in the leather. Again, it covers and protects the gun down to the muzzle and only costs < $80.Just a note, if you like an OWB holster Don Hume sells a great holster and the thumb break strap sits between the frame and the cocked trigger. The have that correct holster for the SA-35 and the number is H721 11-5. I have an old one for my 1911 #721 10-5.
If you choose optics they have the same holster but optics ready, # H726
I hope this helps someone here...

I want one but we can't get any as our wholesaler says they are "allocated" and won't sell us any... Same with the 1911s, but luckily, I already have my Mil-Spec!Went to the range to shoot my new Springfield SA 35. The only ammo I had were some 122 gr. flat point over 3.7 gr. of tight group. My 5 round group at 25 yards looked pretty good to my 76 year old eyes. I am really enjoying this Hi Power clone.View attachment 1137326
Do you have a Academy Sports store near you?I want one but we can't get any as our wholesaler says they are "allocated" and won't sell us any... Same with the 1911s, but luckily, I already have my Mil-Spec!
Yeah, I didn't notice any SA-35s last time I was there though.Do you have a Academy Sports store near you?
They get one or two at a time. Have them put your name on a list.Yeah, I didn't notice any SA-35s last time I was there though.
Mec-Gar has really stepped up. A good many top quality manufacturers are sourcing their magazines from them.I have a bunch of 13 round Hi Power mags. Original Hi Power and Mecgar. Brand does not seem to make a difference. Half of them would not function. With slide open insert loaded mag, drop slide release. Slide moves forward about 2/10th of an inch and stops. Insert mag with slide in battery rack slide and mag drops out of gun. This happened with about half of my old 13 rounders. I ordered 2 15 round Mecgar mags from Midway. They work just fine. Springfield gets it’s 15 rounders from Mecgar anyway.
By the way, I have two Springfield SA 35’s and the mag problem is with both.View attachment 1137711
