    Springfield SA-35

    I put thirteen mags through mine today between 10:00 and 10:30 and, between two target changes, the pistol was in full sun. That thing was hotter than a . . . . well, you know. It ran perfectly through all 195 rounds. I spent more time cleaning it than I did at the range. Mike

    Springfield SA-35

    I couldn't agree more about the way a BHP shoots. The price for a nice BHP has really gone up lately but I'm not getting rid of mine. Mike

    Springfield SA-35

    Here are my first 15 rounds with my SA-35: Here are the first 15 rounds after BHSS did some work on it: I made the decision to send it to them after the SA-35 started having feeding/ejection issues. It runs like it's supposed to, now. Mike

    OK…what’s the deal with the SA-35 availability?

    Nice! Can you tell me about the Sharps the young man is sporting! Mike

    SA-35 Gen 2 or a work in progress? +Bonus

    I've done business with BHSS and have been completely satisfied with their work and customer service. They improved the function and finish on my SA-35 as well as the accuracy. IMHO, they're good folks who know their stuff. Mike

    The Best War Films You’ve Never Seen

    I'm an old 'Nam vet and I've got a couple of favorites: 1. Saving Private Ryan 2. We Were Soldiers When Saving Private Ryan came out, I went with a group of friends to watch it. When it was over, one of the ladies asked if the D-Day scenes were like real combat. I told her it was as close...

    Moment of Truth from my SA-35

    I purchased some Remington range ammo this week for $20 per box. I felt a little bad about paying that. Other brands are available around here for as little as $16 per box. Mike

    Repaired SA-35 Range Report 04/10

    I got my SA-35 back from BHSS and am thoroughly satisfied with the results. I took mine to the range last week and and put 12 mags through it. The mags, SA and Browning, were fully loaded and no issues were encountered. Mike

    S/A 35

    I got my SA-35 back from BH Spring Solutions a couple of weeks ago and finally got it out to the range today. They worked it over pretty good and I appreciate their efforts. The SFS system in NICE! These rounds are from the first two mags I ran. Mike

    Long Awaited Shiloh Sharps .45-70 Arrived

    When I was talking with Cheryl at Montana Vintage Arms, she said this piece is capable of reaching out to 1000 yards. Too bad I'm not capable of that kind of accuracy. I shot expert just off of Chicken Road at beautiful Fort Bragg but that was 54 years ago. A lot has happened since then...

    Long Awaited Shiloh Sharps .45-70 Arrived

    I actually got out a magnifying glass and looked at the joinery and it's, quite simply, superb!

    Long Awaited Shiloh Sharps .45-70 Arrived

    I left on a nice road trip a few weeks ago and, of course, I got a call from the LGS and my long-awaited Shiloh Sharps in .45-70. They had some fun with me by mocking up a suppressor and saying I owed them for threading the octagon barrel. Good fun! Anyway, I got home and mounted the Montana...

    SA-35 Back from BH Spring Solutions

    That's correct. Oh, youngolddude, my wife doesn't care in the least. Do you have any pics of those Lightnings? I'm looking at one, now, in .44WCF and it's really clean. Mike

    SA-35 Back from BH Spring Solutions

    I received my SA-35 in December and managed to put close to 400 rounds through it in a couple of weeks. Mostly, I was using Winchester White Box. Once I got used to the sights, I started putting rounds where they should be. I was having to aim in the 1 o'clock position about 1.5 to 2 inches...

    SA-35 Review: Dissecting Springfield’s New Pistol

    I ordered mine in October of last year and, at the time, the distributor my LGS uses didn't have any. My 3XXX S/N piece arrived in early December and, a week later, I ordered another one. That distributor is out and has no idea when they'll see another. I have a couple of retired LEO buds who...
