Springfield Armory’s new Hi-Power

[Wheelgun]

Just seen this, they are calling it SA-35. I’m pretty excited!
Recontoured/no-bite hammer, extended thumb safety, factory tuned trigger and NO mag disconnect.
Sounds good to me.

Thanks for posting. Has me by the short hairs too and I don't like 9mms

[Tar Heel]

Beautiful. I have carried a HP since '72. This is a sweet looking piece.

[Daekar]

Looks awfully appealing. If I were in the market for a semi-auto, I would be seriously tempted....

Maybe someday, after I get my hands on an 8-hole Redhawk in 357....

[Gunor]

I want one. Ambi safety for me...

So glad to see Girsan and now Springfield stepping up to keep this legendary gun in production!

[Gray Fox]

Have any of your shot the Girsan version? GF

I not a 9 mm fan either BUT, it was made Mr. Browning!
Will be looking at them closer!

I am looking for my piggy bank. I was through with buying 9mm guns and am ready to start saving for a FA 97 in either 45 Colt/45ACP or 44 Special. This one may delay that revolver!
My first handgun purchase was almost a Hi-Power in the satin nickle finish. Spent the winter of my sixth grade year caring for the coal fired furnace in my school and received a lump sum payment in the spring of 1980. The HP was tempting, but the new Ruger Redhawk got the nod. Still have the Redhawk…

With a suggested retail of $699, that isn't an over priced version. It might even be some competition for the CZ75 Shadow 2 and other similar pistols.

Reminds me a bit of the Sig P210 wonder if it shoots as good? P210's are over priced for my budget and I'm not look for a 9 but????

I've got one of Cole's surplus HP's and it's one of my favorite pistols, but I would love to have one of these. The idea that it's made in the USA appeals to me. It doesn't hurt that it's a fine looking model and the price is right.

The Hi-Power feels so good in the hand, then the trigger feels like you are dragging a cat across broken milk bottles. Springfield getting rid of the magazine safety will go a long ways towards fixing that. Making the safety a little easier to use will be nice as well.

The only other double stack nine that sits as well is the CZ-75. Most of the rest of that tribe vary from awkward and clunky to fat and boxy.

I would stick with your plan. I would also like a big bore FA. Lifetime gun. Premier grade. There are a couple things that could get in the way, like a Scout Squad M1A. But I think I can stay focused.

for 699 (or less) I'm a player. Looks real good to me.

The CZ Shadow 2 is designed specifically for USPSA's Production Division. Single action guns are not allowed in Production and there is no division in USPSA where a 9mm single action (non 1911) pistol is competitive. In short, I wouldn't be looking at this to eat into CZ's market for the Shadow 2 at all.

I really like this pistol and I wish it had a place in USPSA. I'd probably be shooting one if it did--the BHP is an excellent pistol.

[OS OK]

You could be blindfolded sitting in a pile of semi autos and when your hand found the BHP you would know it instantly!

[Cosmic_Charlie]

Did they call it a High Power because of the double stack magazine?

[Cosmic_Charlie]

If they can make an accurate barrel for it properly throated it should be a winner.
