Discussion: My Long Road to the SA-35

There were multiple isses with the Gen 1 SA-35's.

Sort of old news & I don't pay any attention to it anymore.

All the issues are documented here in older posts, unless they've been deleted.

Glad I have original BHP's, and I'm still fine-tuning the Girsan MCP35 Pi I got earlier.

The new High-Power is in name only. I bought my Bersa and Girsan for a darned sight less than the SA-35. This isn't anything wrong with the SA-35 that a little tinkering won't solve, but it is mighty expensive for what you get.
 
I love Hi Powers. Fortunate to own one of the later HP Brownings.
The Turkish clones interest me. I have a couple Tisas 1911s, if their HPs are near that in quality they should be great guns.

I am not trying to stir the pot and am too lazy to research, just going by scuttlebutt, but I heard the SA-35 are Turkish built, USA assembled, similar to the later Brownings Belgium/Portugal connection.

As an aside, I have a newer FN High Power, ( spelling of Hi is correct). It is a fantastic shooter, a beautifully engineered pistol, admittedly with few things in common with the original and is bigger size wise, but points naturally like the OG.

Here is a website address for a guy who does work on modern HP clones.

I am sometimes tempted to pick up a Girsan P35 OPS PI but I want to hold one first. It is a struggle between this, buying a FN 309 or saving money.

Who am I kidding. I'll probably end up with both eventually. Screw my wallet.

YOU BAD, BAD BOY! (Go get 'em tiger!)

You might want to look into a Bersa TPR9C. It costs less and is as lightweight. The Bersa's double-action is "butter smooth". You'll instantly fall in love with it!

Take my word for it. You can't go wrong with a Bersa product. If it fails under normal use, they'll either repair or replace it.
