I Didn’t Think I Cared About This Gun Until I Shot It
About this video
Colion reviews Springfield’s SA35, describing it as a modern reproduction of John Browning’s nearly 100-year-old Hi-Power design. He argues that Springfield preserved the classic geometry and aesthetics while updating manufacturing quality, tolerances, and key details like the trigger, safety, and feed ramp. Colion emphasizes that despite its vintage appearance, the SA35 performs like a modern pistol and represents thoughtful design refinement at what he considers a reasonable price point.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that the SA35 combines vintage Hi-Power DNA with modern manufacturing improvements like forged steel and tighter tolerances
- According to Colion, Springfield made subtle but meaningful updates including a smooth trigger, extended safety, redesigned feed ramp, and removal of the magazine disconnect
- Colion argues the SA35 offers 15-round capacity, solid build quality, and excellent shootability at $799, which he describes as highly reasonable for an American-made pistol based on a historic design
