Springfield Armory Producing P35/Browning Hi Power

I will buy one.

A Hi Power built with modern technology, I have to buy one.

One big draw for me are the Craig Spegel style grips, which are a HUGE improvement over the thick, clunky slabs Browning put on them.

Sitting here thinking about it a little more - there are great possibilities.

Maybe one with an aluminum frame, or in the Practical configuration (HC frame under blued slide), or all HC, or with high polished flats. Maybe they figure out how to do a reasonable version of old school stippling like Wickmann/Novaks. A steady trickle of variations would keep us coming back for another!

I’m hoping for a TRP version with fixed night sights, rail, VZ grips, match barrel, front strap checkering, and Armory Kote

If it is really an American made gun and has no turkish parts I will have one.

F%#k the turks.

I concur with this message.

I presume my stash of Hi Power mags will work. Will also be interested to see if the new 15 rounders work in .

From what I’ve read and watched all Hi-Power/P-35 mags will work.

Have to watch this... hoping eventually they offer a frame-slide kit that can be cosmetically backdated to a WWII-ish version.

Maybe one with an aluminum frame

That would be great. I have a couple of Hi-Powers with aluminum frames and it does make a difference. A version with a shorter slide & barrel would be great too.

I think the rare one that people used to covet was the detective model.

I was looking at the Springfield site today and they have a location designed to present multiple models. Just a matter of time.

The 69 dollar question is "when will they hit my local shop?"
