Springfield has some of the best customer service in the industry.
It kinda depends on what you need. Several years ago I had a 1911 that I sent in for a warranty repair. They had it fixed and back in 8 days.
I sent a M1A in for some custom work. That did take two months.
Generally, most repairs are handled very well.

Thank you sir. Because I'm going to send mine in because I think the barrel "bushing" has worn to quick, as the barrel slops around in the "hole" in the slide. I will call them Monday morn. and see what they say Thanks again

No manufacturer is perfect, but maybe it was not so bad that I bought a Belgian Hi-Power right before the Ruger copy came out?
When it is locked up. You can put your finger in and wiggel the barrel up and down and side to side. I looked at my Browning HP and it is nice and snug.(it has thousands of rounds thru it).
Terrible, I wish i could show pics. but have no smartphone right now.

How does it shoot?
Not so good. Its going back to the mothership after I call on Monday.
I sent mine back Monday. Seems like covid screwed a lot of things up. I was looking at a Girson HP copy this morning, they seem like a nice gun for the price.

I recently bought one of the new Girsan P35 PI models. Its their commander version of the Hi-Power. Its a well made gun. But the trigger absolutely sucked! Gritty and an inconsistent roughly 10 lb pull. It took some work, but I got it clean and smooth although still slightly heavy. I can live with it. 
Overall, I do think its a good gun for the money.

Shooter-2, 150 rounds is not enough to wear a barrel or bushing to sloppiness. No way, no how. My SA-35 is the same as far as a rather "relaxed" fit of barrel to slide when in battery. I did some measuring. It was this way the day I received it. I've owned a number of FN/Browning Hi Powers since the '60s. The FN/Brownings do have a better barrel to bushing fit than my SA-35. The SA-35 probably should not shoot worth a darn. But with several hundreds of rounds through mine, and shooting from the bench, I was able to shoot a 1 1/2" 5-shot group at 15 yards. Certainly not a great distance. But 15 yards is the distance both Colt and Wilson Combat use to demonstrate the accuracy of their pistols. So for a basic service type pistol, I guess I won't gripe too much about barrel fit or accuracy of my particular SA-35. Far more important to me, is that with a thousand rounds or so through mine, zero malfunctions...YMMV

There are these things called cameras. They're still about even after the invention of the Smartphone.
