SA-35 500 round review

I was able to spend a few hours at my local range yesterday with my SA-35 and really shoot the gun. I ran close to 500 rounds through it, and I've formed a definite opinion about the gun. This is a winner. I've bought 4 15-round mags for this gun, makes a big difference for carried punch. Comparing the SA-35 to my 92FS is a tough call. Reliability is a draw. I've yet to have any problems with either gun. They've always gone bang when I've pulled the trigger. I think I like the sights better on the SA-35. The sight picture just seems "right" to me. I've shot the 92FS for decades, so I know the gun inside out, but the sight picture on the SA-35 just looks better to me. Fit, finish, are beautiful on both guns. Maybe it's the wood grips on the SA-35, but it feels better in my hand. I know I shot out the center mass on 3 different targets yesterday. I've always loved my Beretta, I always will. But the SA-35 has really impressed me.
 
I really like mine. I am looking for a good, OWB, leather thumb break holster for it. Old School Cool, not a flap though, like this:

I looked all over to, but I ended up buying the Bianchi 7001 nylon form fitting holster. Very tight initially, but after a couple of weeks, it's moulded itself to the gun. The draw is very smooth, very secure when worn.
 
I love my SA-35. I think its the best rendition of the Hi-Power yet. I especially like SA's version of the manual safety lever.
BTW: a Hi-Power fits any 1911 holster just fine. ;)
 
I own a ‘91 BHP.
Bought an SA35 when it first came out and it was horrendously unreliable with FTF and FTE. Sent back and got fixed and still had issues. Traded and away it went. I’ll stick to a BHP.
Good luck
