Grabagun must be reading the response to this. They list it as in stock for $1099.99.
I have enough patience to beat that price by a wide margin. I don't plan on paying a dime over MSRP.

Why is it so hard to believe the gun is made in the USA? I have hope, but Springfield wore out too many "Made in Croatia" and "Made in Brazil" stamps for my 100% confidence. My feelings too. Use a historic American name to sell imported goods. If they're making the SA-35 here I might consider it. Never really liked that either. Even though I like my Range Officer. My understanding of past 1911 guns from Springfield, All were forged in Brazil. Many(most?) were machined into guns in Brazil. The NM guns were mostly machined in Brazil. Then shipped here to have the slide rails cut. At that point, they became a gun. And could be considered made in USA. No proof, but what's commonly accepted.

People on gunbroker are going nuts over this. Current bids are ranging up to $2,525 with a bunch well over $1000 and several days to go. Holy First Kid on the Block

Guys, HP's were made for decades. They remain for sale.
The new one looks nice.
But what's the hurry to pay 50% above retail?
If they were that special, why did we not already have one or 3.

I've not had a HP around the house since my shiny target sighted mk III sold for a few hundred more than I paid for it. It was a good piece, shot well, and never a bobble with a wide variety of ammo. It was just too pretty to carry around so it mostly just went to the range and back. With this one, at msrp, there will be a HP around the place again.

You got that right. If anything, this should be driving shooter grade FN prices down. Oh, hey - look! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/914466981

I watched lots of reviews of the Tisas Regent when it first hit the market, and most of them experienced reliability issues, or failures of some kind, that needed to be addressed before the guns were quite right. I don't know if they addressed these issues at the factory yet or not.

What's funny is that I just did another gunbroker search for gen-you-wine FN Made in Belgium Browning Hi Powers that actually sold and within the last 30 days a fellow could have bought one in good to great condition for $600 to maybe a couple hundred more, i.e. less than half what folks are bidding on some of those new SA 35's.

I had my locale gun shop order it about 30 minutes after the announcement from Springfield, actually called the owner at home about 7:00 am last Monday ( also a good friend and hunting buddy) and he called me back 20 minutes later and said it was coming.

Do not worry EAA has them listed with MSRP of $528. The only worry is since SA is offering this product the alternative may evaporate and nice more affordable alternative may never be offered for sale in USA.
