Frankly, I feel this is a poor analogy, no offense. What’s old is new again in many places. Many of the motorcycle manufacturers are taking old designs/styles and adapting them to modern tech, and people are loving them. For instance, Kawasaki has the rs900, which is kind of a modern rework of the old Z1. I view the SA-35 in the same light. They took the HP and gave it a few modern twists.kenpoprofessor wrote: ↑October 30th, 2021, 5:36 amWell, can you put the slide on a Glock with the recoil spring backwards???? I understand those things can be "sentimental", but face it, the technology has improved. I don't see you driving a 1935 Ford Coupe do I??? I mean, as cool as they are, they just wouldn't be functional for what you do with your vehicle today.delta6 wrote: ↑October 29th, 2021, 9:52 amEvery time I read this...

Ha, you old timers and relics make me giggle. Those plastic guns Gaston made never bit me, and I don't have to worry about putting the spring guide rod in backwards.

Pay me enough money and I will make that '35 drive better than a new car. Power steering, A/C, infotainment, fuel injection, etc. All it takes is money (yours) and someone who can do it (me.)kenpoprofessor wrote: ↑October 30th, 2021, 5:36 am

Frankly, most of today’s handguns are still using the Browning short recoil system, so I don’t see how it differs. The HP was and is a solid platform. Does a Glock do the same job at a lower cost? Yep, and that’s part of why I run them. But I also enjoy some of the finer things in life, which is why I also have a few Sigs, a Langdon LTT, etc. Variety is the spice of life!

I drive what is appropriate for what I do with the vehicle, and with modern conveniences. Now, I think old cars are cool, but, as an every day, kinda everywhere driver, old designs simply cannot compete. Now, I know this is a revamped HiPower, and that's cool, but it's still got the features of the "old stuff" I absolutely hate, and especially at the price point it is. I have a cheap shooter with those features, and it's nothing I'll use when the SHTF and I have to use it. I like my Tanfoglio SAR, it shoots well, but it only goes to the range.
THAT's what she said!
