Has anybody actually found one of these in stock for a reasonable price?

Seen them priced in the mid 7's in my neck of the woods

I had had one on order since they first came out and was called to pick mine up the day after New Years. I got it at suggested retail and had it out the door for a bit under $700 including local and state sales taxes here in GA. GF
Think I paid 799 for mine a couple months ago which is now msrp. Love the gun. I like it better than my origin browning hi power.
How do they shoot?

Decent groups at 25 yards. About 2 inches with good load. Mine shoots low with 124 grain loads but reducing front sight height will fix that or trying higher velocity loads. I prefer adjustable sights. 145 grain loads shoot to poi.
shot a friends. 2 six round groups @10 yds. 1.5 inches or so off poor sand bag set up. might be the worst trigger i ever pulled. creep, a gritty area creep and what i know was in excess of 10 lbs. some say that the triggers are ok. maybe this one is a fluke. anyway i bit the bullet and bought a as new 1976 real hi-power; for more than twice what i would have to pay for a springfield; but, i did trade well.
My trigger pull out f box was about 4 pounds measured on a gauge
No see um here. In any event I don't need another layaway queen!

Finally saw an SA-35 in person. Matte finish with wood grips for $599.00. If the pistol I saw is representative of most, then this gun is a bargain indeed.

Not seeing much (any) of them in north central Texas. I may not be looking in the right places. I already have an Israeli P-35 that can out-shoot me, but I might need an SA-35, if I find one for under $600.

I got one in November for 600 ish. I like it very much. Great combat trigger although it has longer reset than many may like. I grew up with DA revolvers so no issue. I have owned several Brownings and found them all to be finicky on ammo with respect to accuracy. I will say that I have not shot for groups - just started with plates. I expect much better consistency over the BHP. I really like it. One failure to feed first round from the magazine. I was not the shooter. 500 rounds so far.
Sweet, never knew they made such a thing. The pattern on those grips is straight out of a 1970's linoleum catalog though!

Those of you with an SA-35: you try any boolits through it yet? My late model Browning eats 'em no problem. I think one of these is in my future fairly soon, provided my finances remain steady.

I bought 4 Israeli Hi - Powers from Coplins in Ky. before she/they went out of business. One was a training gun that shoots very well. Grips wore bad from being handled while used as a training gun. But Oh does it shoot well....
Ordered one when they were first announced. Have yet to even see one.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
My LGS let me have the 3rd one they got in shortly after they were announced. Mine has a 4 digit serial so it was fairly early. I think the relationship between the LGS and the distributor(s) has a lot to do with availability.

I am not a 9mm fan, but I handled the Springfield SA35 at a gun show in Abilene a couple of weeks ago, and really loved the feel and grip contours. The pistol, NIB was $775. Tempting .. but it is still a dang 9.
