Springfield Armory’s SA-35 takes the legendary Browning Hi-Power and updates it for the 21st century. In this episode, we walk through what’s changed and why it matters: forged steel construction, a 15-round magazine, improved trigger with no mag disconnect, better sights and safety, and modern feed geometry that actually likes hollow points.

We’ll talk about how it shoots, what reviewers found in 1,000–2,000 round tests, and the early extraction and finish issues that showed up on some first-run guns. If you’ve ever wanted a Hi-Power that’s built to be a shooter instead of a safe queen, this briefing on the SA-35 will help you decide if it deserves a spot in your lineup.
