They can't be getting all the pie now

Seems to be a resurgence for the Hi Power design. Looks like Girsan is introducing their own budget clone.

What's old is new again. Can't say that about 1911's. They're just old

The springer is a rebranded girsan isn't it

This is interesting, I bet nobody saw FN getting back into the HP business, 17 rd mag now, some frontstrap treatment, ambi controls, and decent sights. Looking at the top of the slide it looks like a Sig style barrel.

And at least a $1k price tag. There will probably be a significant price gap between the FN and SA

In before I would buy this if it came in threaded optics-ready version with rail & suppressor height sights...

I'll have to handle one but I like the improvements/upgrades over the traditional SA. It's Shot Show though, it could be years before you see one if ever, unless they say they're in production and shipping I won't get too excited about it.

No as all the info available seems to confirm that the pistols are made in the USA in Illinois by Springfield Armory. Pretty amazing!

And yet still around and very functional over 100 years later!

I like it! My excitement for the SA35 kinda hit a wall when I found out there are extractor issues. Plus I really like that the FN has front strap checkering of some sort, hopefully they ditched the Magazine Disconnect and it's a fantastic firearm.

It looks like a Polymer frame. Not sure since it has grip screws. Hi Powers can’t have polymer frames it’s blasphemy!

It was said tongue in cheek. When on this site I have to check my web browser at times to make sure I somehow didn't land in 1911addicts.com by mistake

I don't think it is, but I can see how it might appear to be at first glance based on the front strap checkering which is reminiscent of those done on a polymer frame.

I’m thinking not at second glance due to the grip screws. Though I’m sort of curious as well on the hike at the end. Glock 34 like makes me think it has a guide rod

It won't be the classic design. They went with a different barrel/locking style. It's now like a glock, M&P, or sig. And the extractor isn't external. At least SA changed the little things that people wanted while maintaining the original design

They're calling it the "All New High Power" I would'nt call it a true to form clone of the original design either. Looks like a partial re-design.

Correct. But I'm wondering how popular it will be with those changes. The purists will reeee till the cows come home. I think those same folks didn't balk as much with the SA and will be better received

 

[DadSmith]

I'd take the SA model over the original to shoot or carry. I'd take an original FN or Browning for a safe queen.
