I saw over a dozen in DFW at various shops in that timeframe. I even bought one.
Where are the SA-35's?

I went to my LGS yesterday and fondled the Girsan MC P35 Match, pretty impressed. Very nice fit and finish, loved the G10 grips, extended beavertail, trigger felt OK.
Would love to handle this and the SA-35 to compare. We'll see...

It seems cognitive dissonance as defined as the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change is apparent in this discussion. Sometimes one just has to make up his or her mind and pick-up on one and leave the other behind, or one could purchase one of each model and discover the truth. This practice may work well with firearms, but not well when chosing a spouse. So a friend told me.

Update, if anyone is still following this topic.
I bought the Girsan MC P35 Match, after watching some reviews and talking to some people and immediately took it to the range. One guy said he wished he would have bought this, instead of the SA-35. Now I'm not a gun conisuer, but I really like it. Fit and finish are great, like the G10 grips, trigger was good, safety was good. Shot about 100 rounds, mix of Spear Gold Dots, Win. 115 gr and some 115 gr hand loads with no hiccups or malfunctions. I didn't have a lot of time, so I wasn't super focused, but shot well. Groups were good, I could have shot better. Sights seemed to be right. I haven't shot a hammer fired pistol in a minute so will have to acclimate. Will make a fine carry piece in a Craft Holster.

i think i said earlier, i had a Girsan, the clone to a Beretta, and loved it. it had more to offer for the price than the Beretta.
but things needed to be "adjusted" here at the house, so the Girsan had to go.
you will get lots of use out of it.

Glad you found something that meets your needs.

I got mine at an Academy about an hour away from me after I signed up to be notified when they were in stock last summer. They notified me just before Christmas and I jumped on it. About 2 weeks ago my local Atwoods got one in and are asking under MSRP for it. It was the first one I had seen for sale in town, I almost bought it too.
Good for you! Sometime you just have to jump. God knows that’s pretty much my gun buying strategy! I’ve been tempted to buy one of these and I’m not even a Hi Power fan, but I do have a mate who is and he breaks out in hives whenever I bust out a new Turkish gun.

i am trying to locate the factories for Tisas and Girsan, and am wondering if this massive earthquake was near the factories, but more importantly, if any employees are affected, and cannot even get to work.
this could greatly affect the gun/parts productions over there.
ok just found them, apparently both factories are way up north...Tisas is made in Trabzon, and Girsan is made in Giresun
but right now, they are in a state of emergency, i suspect the guns/parts will take a back seat to the crisis there.
God speed to all there.

Tisas's factory is in Arsin on the coastal area of the black sea.
The earthquakes have been in more central/southern Turkey.

Don’t forget, on Girson, any High Power parts fit and work in this clone, now I’m talking about the old original High Power, not the new FN release, so parts are available if needed.

well, when i had my Girsan MC Regard, clone to the Beretta 92FS, the parts were also interchangeable as well.

I've been looking for a SA-35 since they started production.
I was looking for a 9mm Hi-Power before the production stopped, and I found some BR9s, they seem ok.
I picked up the Girsan '35 Match last month. Now, I'm so glad I haven't seen the SA.
I could say bad things about Turkey, but I am a bit grieved about the earthquake, and they do make good handguns.
This Girsan is going to be in my favorite carry-rotation.
If I find a SA-35 now, it'll probably be 2nd to the MC P35.
I've got a gun addiction, so I'll probably still take one home with me, I'm just not jonesing anymore.
