Dilemma

[formermarine64]

Which one? Springfield SA- 35 or FN High Power?
I prefer the lower price and that the SA-35 is a little smaller in dimensions. The FN is well built. Which one? They both feel well in hand.

FN all day. Personally I think you get what you pay for with these two.

I'd compromise and buy an older one:

Welcome to the forum, from Ohio.
I can speak for the Springfield only. I liked it very much, indeed. Consider rentals at your local range, if applicable. Good luck . . .

This.

FN or the Girsan MC P35

I own 2 sa 35s and they are great triggers and accurate. Not my favorite but close

I can't speak to either model, but I own several SA firearms and one FN. All shoot very well. I would take @Mr.W. advice and try each one out, if you can. Feel in the hand and feel while shooting are subjective and a personal thing. Good luck, and welcome to the forum!

I recently received a Browning high-power from a friend. Don't know very much about these pistols. It has the same markings as the above pistol but on the right side it says made in Belgium, assembled in Portugal. It has adjustable sights and ambidextrous thumb safeties. The original grips have been replaced.

There are lots of good Hi-Power clones. I rate the SA-35 right at the top.

That new FN High-Power is an abomination. It may have the name and look similar, but its a completely different gun.

My very close friend recently passed away. He left instructions with his wife to give me the pistol. Wish he was still with us, he was a great guy, great human being.

What you have is a Mark III Target model. Its a fine pistol.

Thanks for the info.

Pass on the SA-35

I sold mine.
Didnt come close to my BHP.
Quality and craftsmanship were lacking
Save and get a BHP or the new FN

 

[FNFAN]

Personally, I'd go with a FN MarkIII. But then, I'm a FNFAN.

 

[formermarine64]

Well my wife always told me size doesn't matter I found my handgun. Trigger pull comes in at 4lbs and it's a .45. I currently carry a full size .45.This is the replacement.
