SA-35 Chamber

[EGaillard]

Sorry if this has been asked but I've search and to no avail. Will the new SA-35 have a 10mm version later this year or anytime in the future?

The SA-35, as well as all original BHPs and look-a-like/knock-offs, is incapable of handling the 10mm both physically and strength wise.

So, the correct answer is No x 2.

Browning did make a 40 S&W Hi Power back in the mid 90's.
The slide and barrel were different to make room for another barrel / slide lock up cut.
The shorter cartridge length made the difference.

No longer in production. The Hi-Power is one of John Moses Browning's finest designs. And although it is possible to still find Hi-Power pistols at dealers across the U.S., the Hi-Power is technically out of production.

That would be a big NOPE!

FN/Browning also had to beef-up the frame & slide buy using a stronger steel, and the frame was cast since the forged frame wasn't strong-enough, resulting in the final Mk. III variant.

The .40 S&W BHP didn't last long, but the Mk. III 9mm is/was the strongest BHP ever-made.

They would have to start from scratch and it would be so large to accommodate the length of the 10mm (as mentioned the 40 version was beefed up significantly iver the 9mm version)

There is just no way. If you want a 10mm get a 1911 Glock or something else

An SA XD-M Elite 10mm handles the 10mm cartridge better than any 1911.
