Not the SA-35, but did end up with a new HP clone

I have been a fan of the Hi Power since the '60s, and have owned my share. Most seem happy with the Girsan, and the price is certainly right.

For nearly a year now, I've been shooting an SA-35. I've got a thousand or so rounds through mine at this point. I've used the factory magazine, along with FN/Browning magazines and 13 and 15 round MecGars, with 9 different types of factory ammo, i.e., RN ball, FP ball, and JHP. It just works.

I agree with your assessment. I am sure the Girsan and other clones are nice, but I feel the SA-35 is the closest to the original design, with a few improvements. Very pleased with mine, too.

I got to shoot the Girsan at a friends recently. I liked it. Very nice. The owner plans on using it as a carry gun.
