New SA-35 first range outing!

[S&W Fan]

Got out today for the first time with the new SA-35, 3 SA mags and 200 rounds of Browning 115gr fmj. The short story is:

I LOVE IT!!! The pistol felt great, the trigger is just fine, safety is perfect. Couldn't be happier, worth the wait.




The first targets show the first 15 rounds at 10 yards. The other target is the last 30 rounds, also at 10 yards. Digging it!!

Thanks for the report - nice shooting! I've got my deposit in so am waiting on mine…..patiently….

Yup, took mine out today as well. Only complaint is the lower and back edges of the little "beavertail" are WAY too sharp. Going to have to stone them down and put some cold blue on there.

Ordered it October 30, arrived this past Sunday lol. $689+ change out the door. Ordered the 2 extra mags from Springfield when I ordered it-had a few coupons to use. Took advantage of their Black Friday sale to order another this morning haha.

Now I want one.

Maaaaaaaan. I saw a thread on those before they were released and kinda wrote it off, figured it'd be something neat but too rich for my blood. The actual six and change estimated street price though...I'm filling my piggy bank for one. No idea how they pulled it off at that price range but look excellent.

Just curious,Is it made in the USA?

That's what Springfield say.

Does it have a magazine safety?

↑ No magazine disconnect. Nice!

 

[S&W Fan]

Not having the mag disconnect greatly improved the trigger. At the end of the range session the trigger improved even more. I don't have a gauge but the weight feels very similar to my 1911s in 4.5/5lb range.

The mags are made by Mec-Gar, outstanding quality and hold 15 rounds rather than the original's 13. All 3 functioned flawlessly, easy to load also.

I WANT ONE! And nobody in my entire area has any.
But I will buy the first one I find.

No reason to pay over msrp like on GB or many other online retailers, just wait. I prepaid for mine when I ordered it.

My range is sponsoring Springfield Days in a few weeks, I plan to pick the reps brains on what if any variations might be in the works.
