What does it take to make a Hi-Power?
Thanks Talyn for moving forward and keeping up with the video review of SA-35 for all of us interested in it.
On the reviewer? It can be very difficult to critique things and keep a good balance for all concerned. Apparently the reviewer has had previous experience of what to expect to some degree, likely more than the average user on and with what to expect from High-Power pistols. Quick appraisals, condemnations or recomendations usually lead to issues for all involved in the end from experience, didn't see or hear that in reviews. Close, but not quite.
The reviewer also explained what their opinions and thoughts were and also the possible remedies. Can still see a slant here and there from the reviewer, but to me it's part of the balance of helping out each other out with products and services. That can be a good thing all the way around in a few ways. One is a possibly better object to look forward to and another is to keep costs down to respectable levels with a doable product.
On the SA-35 itself? One of a few thoughts have had about SA-35 is the "Bones" or foundation of the pistol being a good one, keeping it to a conservative level on SA's version, possibly just needing a bit of refinement here and there. To explain, without good bones or foundations, the rest of whatever structure, be it a company, firearm or a building is likely doomed to future failure of some sort or the other.
Conclusion? Would still like a SA-35 due to some things even with some of the negativity. One reason is it seems to be of a good thoughtful quality SA product that they'll back up if need be. Another is because of possibly knowing what to expect from these reviews, most of which is doable down the road if need be in the future. Some of the other parts or desire are in liking the whole design, concept and history behind the High-Power pistol, including SA's version.
