Both groups generally report satisfaction, though for different reasons. The traditional look, matte blue finish with checkered walnut, gets consistent praise from people drawn to classic pistol design. Ergonomics and the single-action trigger draw positive comments, with owners noting the comfortable fit and smooth pull. Performance reviews are solid: reliable operation, good accuracy out of the box, and manageable recoil. Critiques focus on price relative to modern polymer pistols at similar price points, and the practical differences from the original Hi-Power (no magazine disconnect, extended safety). Some owners prefer more aftermarket support than currently exists. Hi-Power comparisons come up constantly in discussions, with most owners accepting the SA-35 as a faithful modern interpretation. ## Pricing **19 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Gunbuyer Com | $649.99 | | Classicfirearms Com | $659.99 | | Guns Com | $660.99 | | Guns Com | $661.99 | | Bereli | $675.00 | | Grabagun Com | $679.99 | | Impactguns Com | $688.19 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $689.07 | | Kygunco Com | $698.34 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $698.99 | *...and 9 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (2 reviews) > **joel** (5/5): The Springfield SA-35 Gen 1 is a beautiful homage to the classic Browning Hi-Power with a few modern twists.
