Springfield is teasing something

[gregintenn]

I will drive to anywhere in Tennessee right friggin now to purchase an example for $699!

I’ve always wanted a High Power and never had one. All I need to know is when and where.

Right there with you, lol!

I bet we don’t see one in the wild for over a year.

Striker fired is not the 1911 type platform

Neither is a HiPower for that matter. 

The Springfield SA 35 is not going to be a striker gun. It is a true HiPower clone.

As long as the quality is on par with their 1911s, it’s also 100% a home run. 
 

For those wanting one, I know who GTD has as first on the list as he has already paid for it. 
 

I’m first on the list at my lgs for the first one they get. Hopefully, it won’t take too long for them to ship, but if you want one, I’d be getting with your lgs quick as like I said, this gun is a home run and demand is obviously high.

That’s not a difficult upgrade

The Hi-Power is my all time favorite 9mm pistol. I already own three versions of it. At the first opportunity, I'll have four.

Brownells is supposed to notify me when they get theirs.

The irony is everyone will eventually have one of the beautiful guns but there'll be no ammo for it........................

They only give you one clip for it.

*I* don't want a clip, *I* want a magazine with mine.  

[tercel89]

I've always thought that the extractors on them seemed a little too thin but I've never held or shot one. 

[Grayfox54]

I've already checked with my LGS and they don't have any or know when they will.  No luck on-line either. There are two gun shows near me next month. I'll look, but don't have high hopes. My guess is they won't be readily available for several months. 

But I will buy the first one I find.

Spoke to my personal LGS owner today. He said he has several on order, no clue when they might arrive. I reserved one for myself.

I bet this thing takes off like the P365 did for Sig.

Did he mention a price?

[Hehehmule]

I’ve seen prices as low as 629, but listed as out of stock. The magazines are available via the Springfield website. Even if there is a delay getting the gun,I haven’t seen 15 round mecgars in stock for a while so might want to purchase a couple. I’m old and have never paid this much for a hipower, but times change. Good luck hunting fellas, I see a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World heading our way.

Yes, the little turd quoted me $1999. He was yanking my chain................................. I think.

[Grayfox54]

There's about 8 of them on GB right now. The lowest is at $910 and the highest at $1399. 

I think I'll just wait.

Thanks for mentioning the mags. Just ordered some myself.

[Grayfox54]

Yeah, very good idea on the mags. I ordered a couple. I checked  Mec-Gar and they are out of stock. I guess Springfield is buying up the current supply. Even though it may be a year or more before I find a gun to buy, I can use these in my other Hi-Powers. All the ones I have are 13 rounders anyway.

WOW , thats like the car and truck business now. Toyota Trucks are marked up $5000 at some dealerships.  I can wait thats for sure !  And this High Power , I am on the fence about it. I love me some all steel pistols. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I have a CZ75 Single Action Only pistol. I am not sure I can justify getting another all steel 9mm at that price. UNLESS you guys can give me reasons about why I should get one ? LOL

Yeah, trying to justify it is not a reason.

I guess it's a WANT and not a NEED. But most guns are just that . 

[Grayfox54]

The MSRP on the SA-35 is $699. Which I find to be surprisingly good. The prices I quoted are what's being asked on GB. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell. In fact, some those over $1000 prices are being driven by actual bids. There are always those people who just have to be the first to get whatever is new at any price.
