Couldn't agree more, and really the HP isn't all that great anyway, I've had 2 of them , terrible triggers and not particularly accurate. Also had 1 S.A.1911, inside machine work looked like it had been done with a file and chisel | |||

I’d be interested in a detective size. I’ve had a number of HPs over the years and the only have a FEG at this time which I’m happy with | |||

Part of me hopes everybody is wrong and it's not a Hi-power, but rather a reasonably priced mil-spec M1 Carbine. I know it's probably not, but I can dream! | |||

That Argentine one that "bald1" posted a picture of is a nice sized Hi Power compact. I always wished that FN Herstal had also made them, including a stainless steel version. | |||

I have a BHP but I bought it before there were a plethora of pistols with hi-capacity mags. I think there was the BHP and a couple S&Ws back then. And I wasn't about to buy a S&W. But today, there are dozens of superior pistols with higher capacity than the BHP's 13 rounds. My BHP is a beautiful gun, but I would not buy one today. rambo | |||

SA Inc made beautiful forged M1 Carbine receivers about 20-25 years ago. I understand that they were machined by LMT. That was actually SA Inc's 2nd go at M1 Carbine. | |||

I have 3 P35 variants as is, so the only thing that would interest me would be a railed version. Heresy to most I’m sure, but a BHP with grippy slim grips, “detective” slide, and a TLR7sub light would be a nice carry piece. | |||

I agree with this. The HP was a remarkable pistol in it's day but today, I see it as more of a nostalgic just kind of nice to have gun. With that in mind, I'm not buying such a gun from SA. | |||

Indeedy - I’m a recent Novak BHP owner. Granted, the price of admission was likely higher than whatever SA is about to unveil; but, thus far, it’s been worth it. "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." - George Costanza | |||

Keep in mind, that Mec-Gar makes an excellent 15rd BHP mag. I'm too tired to check right now, but the 'mousetrap' version from FN may also be 15rds now. Pachmayr used to make a 15rd version also, IIRC. You'd have to hunt 'em down. That, along with the HP's svelte front-end and dust-cover, still make it a very, very packable pistol...espcially IWB. | |||

It'll be a Hi Power. Look at the "clock" displaying 19:35 next to the picture of John Moses Browning. The Hi Power was introduced in 1935 and designed by J.M.B. | |||

John Browning died in 1926. Initial design work on the High Power was Browning's. The work was completed by an FN engineer- D. Saive. SA, inc. appears to be incapable of a original thought. | |||

Knowing Springfield's long history of selling rebranded clone guns made overseas, I wonder if this is just another rebranded BHP, perhaps with some fancy cosmetic changes made by one of the many companies that built these things. | |||

My guess is this is a foreign made, probably Turkish, HP clone that Springfield has acquired the rights to import and put their brand on. This approach seems to be SA's bread and butter. As a guy with deep roots in Illinois, I just can't bring myself to support SA these days. As I find most of their products mediocre, it is not hard to avoid them. I recognize others will have other opinions and make different choices. To each their own. | |||

Made in the USA with a stated MSRP of $699 according to the SA website, FWIW. Looks like it comes with an SA-branded Mec-Gar 15-round mag (judging by the “Made in Italy” marking). "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." - George Costanza | |||
