Springfield Hi-Power??

[MBC in OKC]

Looks like it’s a real gun. MSRP is $699, not bad at all. I wonder if it’ll be obtainable any time soon.

Just curious all you who are so hung ho and excited...is it because of the price point?

It's cool but not like its earthshattering. I think it's cool they're going to continue on the platform but there no shortage of Hi powers out there.

There's no other factory made HP without the trigger safety, with 15 round mags standard, and made in the USA. It's certainly not a new gun but it's something not offered in a factory HP before. I think it's pretty cool. Then again, I'm always excited when a new gun comes around. I'm glad to see a healthy gun industry that's able to offer something like this. I've never liked the HP before...but I might like this one just because of the upgrades.

I will own one. I have always liked the HP’s, just unwilling to spend as much as they garner.

I hope they hit market soon, I can ask the wife for one for my 50th!

I would like to see one and handle one. Always liked the HP...been tempted to buy a clone in the past.

I bet this is why you haven't seen any of the Turk import Tisas BHP clones in a while. They're saving them all for SFLD.

From the website:

Made in the USA from a forged steel slide and frame the SA-35's iconic style carries a host of modern features that unlock the true potential of this time tested design.

With it having a forged frame, slide and barrel, radiused hammer to eliminate hammer bite, extended safety, no magazine safety from the factory, beveled magwell and relocated serial number, this is a BHP lover's dream. And at their price point? Yeah, these will sell well. I'll probably get one myself.

What’s desirable about the relocated SN?

What’s desirable about the relocated SN?

The SN on original HP's was stamped vertically down the front strap. If you wanted to checker it (they're pretty thin so you rarely see checkering) or stipple it (much more common), you had to leave a window unmodified where the SN is.

In all honesty I will never be able to afford one, but I did handle one years ago and liked the feel of it and the way it pointed. I am not a target shooter so these things are important to be.

I’ve never shot one only handled a couple and they always felt good in the hand.

If they are cheap price wise and good quality like Springfield is known for I’d probably try to snag one.
