Best news I've heard in some time. I had a pretty extensive collection of military and police HiPowers but sold them all off to capitalize on the investment. There were a couple I should have kept, I'm excited to get my hands on one of these. No magazine disconnect and a better trigger are huge improvements.
Not nearly as spendy as I thot it would be.Blued and wood. Looks really nice, like the ones I lusted after in the 70's.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!

I like the "Parkerized" look as well as the ring hammer. Reminds me of some of the military contract pistols I had.
I was also surprised by the SRP. Darned reasonable I think. I'm hoping that they sell well enough to expand into different finishes and calibers. I'd love one in .30 Luger! Just because I'm weird!

Used a Hi Power for a short while. Good gun. But the caliber left me wanting. If these are as reliable as the one I had and with today's ammunition it should be a great handgun.

Quite a handsome rendition of the classiest gun ever designed for 9x19. I was expecting a higher MRSP as well. The upgrades are quite practical without detracting from the original look

I sent the SA link to my FFL guy and to let me know when he see's that they are available. He and my dad both want one and I'm in for two of them, hopefully he can bag a consecutive numbered pair with an order of that size.

I think that I might have one of them.
Trigger is improved, no mag disconnect, sights are improved, mags from
original HiPowers fit and function, and it's not so expensive.
What's not to like?
-Stretch
Only one mag
I know they only include one to keep the MSRP down, but still....who wants an auto loader with only one mag?
It IS an interesting option and I might pick one up to play with once I find out if additional mags are actually available and less than $50 a pop! I wish I had bought a hi-power years ago.

They're listing magazines for $35 ea. Stop being so cheap.
I've got six or more originals, including a few Inglis WWII magazines.
Of all the HiPowers I've had, the later mfg. Browning was my lease favorite. Shot ok, but not as well as the older ones.
Looking forward to these.

You need to read the thread on civility, Jason
35 is not so bad. Some manufacturers are bad about charging 50 or 60 for mags. I'm used to the guns that cost less, come with 3 mags, and extras are $17 bucks!
Cheap? No. Just saving where I can to buy more guns. And gun safes.

Funny guy!
Jim,
I sent an email to SA asking that very question. I will update when I get a response.

i,ve been looking at the ronin version, in the .45 acp. dang good reviews and decent price gotta sell one of my toys to get it though, job is on the edge with downsizing static going on. even the owner might let one of his brothers go!!!!
Rossi 92 .357 lever , and a cz pcr 9mm
Henry .22 lever, Remington speedmaster 552 .22 lr
Marlin Glenfield .22 boltaction
gforce 12ga semi
Taylor's Tactical 1911 A1 FS in .45acp
winchester 1873 44.40
Marlin 336W .30.30
beeman sportsman rs2 dual caliber pellet rifle
henry .22 magnum pumpaction/octagon barrel
stag 5.56 m4 with reddot
A gun with that classic of a look definitely needs a Gold Dot Front Sight. And I am sure JMB wouldnt mind if they offered it in a .40 cal. But definitely a gun I want to see in my own collection.

I seen an ad from CDNN on FB that they had posted the SA-35 on GunBroker for a 3 day auction. With 1 day left it is running around $1200, more than double the MSRP.

Btw the HP was designed in the 30s as a 9x19 and is limited to cartridges of similar length. So no 38 Super, 9x23, 10mm or the like is coming. 30 Luger is possible and probably 22 TCM. Browning made 40 S&W and I wish I had gotten one. 357 Sig is possible. I have seen conversion uppers/mags in 22LR and 41 AE.

Give it a couple or three weeks and the price will come down to reasonable.
