Apparently, when you send a gun back to Springfield for factory repairs, they send you a pre-paid shipping label, and when finished, they send it back to you, not an FFL. If it's a gun you are buying, the rules are different from if it's a repair. My SA-35 went back to Springfield four or five...

If your trigger pressure is too high, and you insist, Springfield can correct that. I think they gave me a whole trigger job. Call them, and insist on the same trigger pull as ALL the magazines report. My gun came back with 6 pounds, but that dropped to 5 after a few dry-fire shots...

Have you shot it yet? How's it working out for you? Which ammo are you using? Shooting at targets, or steel, or ???

Thanks, I see 9 hits on the steel. How many rounds did you fire? You can adjust the rear sight to get the holes centered, but I have no idea how adjust the elevation. I don't think it can be done at all, unless/until we can get adjustable sights, preferably a red dot. I should be back at...

Rather strange and unique sight picture!! :) Well, it would allow you to put holes in your buddies target way at the left! Hey, I wasn't aware that Springfield made any different sights for the SA-35. Where did you find them? Can you please post a link?

Gunrunner - I don't know about the other companies that make similar guns, but from what I read, and knowing it was from Springfield, I went with the SA-35 despite the price. I think I paid between $800 and $900. At the time, those other choices didn't yet exist, as far as I know. For me...

A quick reply - as "Talyn" wrote: "#1 - It's like your hold. Typically, the shooter is the weakest link." But I shot three guns yesterday: SA-35 Springfield 1911 Range Officer "Target" 9mm A friend's Les Baer 1911 45 with the heavy build I was pleased with all but the -35. To be...

Assuming this is still an active thread, I'm wondering what sort of results people are having with the SA-35, hand-held, shooting at targets such as a B-8. I took my latest gun (long story) to the range this morning, and here's two of the targets at 15 yards. First target was 5 rounds, and...

If I sent the gun to Dave, I'm pretty sure he would install a match barrel. I'm curious though, why did you replace the traditional short spring guide with a full-length guide? I've never used a fiber-optic front sight - I'm used to a plain black steel front sight, possibly painted white to...

This is what I bought: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/965413252

I'm not interested in the "marketing", and I already bought one of their new SA-35 guns, but they can't seem to get me a gun that works properly - sort of an important consideration, and I don't want to spend $300 on replacement parts for a $700 gun that sells for hundreds more. My current...

Similar, but this is what I think I bought. Will know more next Wednesday. The GunBroker image and specs match this: https://www.springfield-armory.com/1911-series-handguns/1911-range-officer-handguns/1911-range-officer-target-9mm-handgun-stainless/

I just bought one of these, used from GunBroker, in Stainless Steel. Then I read the article that brought me to this thread, not the other way 'round. I'm really looking forward to receiving my new gun. Anyone know how to determine the date of manufacture, based on the serial number?

Not sure what to say here - my SA-35 was defective, sent it back twice, but nobody followed my instructions to verify the fault. After 15 rounds, there was no ability to keep the holes on even the backing board, let alone the target, and the front of the barrel wobbled in what would have been a...

I bought this gun, but have been having unexpected issues. It is now back at Springfield for the second time. Rob, that's a lovely write-up. That's what I wanted, and I expect I'll get mine back in a week or two. I do have a question on the. review - there is a photo of a b-8 target bull...
