Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns SA35 first impressions

Finally got my hands on a Springfield Armoury SA 35. Having shot a bunch of Browning Hi Powers over the last 50 years I have formed some options on how bad the triggers sucked and getting a rat hole dug into the web of my hand. The Springfield fired, fed and functioned flawlessly. Hammer bite is better with only a redness caused by the spur popping my hand. The magazines are good for 14 rounds but the 15th is a wish on the 3 mags I have. Overall it is fun to shoot being a 2.5 25 yard gun. Trigger stacks up to release then breaks nicely, safety and slide release sharp corners

Thanks for the info.

Did SA fix the extractor issues that seemed to be a problem on the early guns?

I don't think that crops up till the 1-2k mark.

Do you have big hands? Is that why the hammer spur is popping you?

My SA35 bit me too. I have big hands and the only thing that prevents hammer bite is to either cut down the spur hammer or the cylinder and slide no-bite hammer.
