Jeebus,...all that, and STILL no beavertail to keep that hand-biting bich from drawing blood.
It's been 84 years, damn it. Get a clue!

Actually they supposedly (according to the TFB review) changed the hammer geometry to help with that.

Maybe they did. But I'm not gonna spend upwards of $700 on a maybe. Sure looks the same to me.

The fix for the hammer bite has been around for over 35 years (that I know of). Wayne Novak, Novak's Custom Firearms (www.novaksights.com) really pioneered this modification and still offers it. I have a Hi-Power that Wayne modified in 1986 to eliminate the hammer bite and makes the thenar webspace on my right hand happy.

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.

Well, 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.

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.
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!

Would drive that car every day of the week and twice on sunday. Rode around on a 1981 GS750E for 2 years prior to buying the bike I own now. Was it the most advanced bike around and comparable to all the junk they put on modern bikes .. of course not .. but it sure was fun to ride and it had a grumble to the engine that seems to have gotten lost. Some vehicles just get you there .. some get you there with a smile.. Same with guns
Had a 40 Chev BC for a summer after HS, drove it to work in Vancouver WA.(from E. Portland) May of been a keeper? Paid $25.00 for it, spent $15.00 for parts that summer, Sold it for $40.00. Yes summer of "66".
Now that "35" Ford, that's the real deal.
Browning with trigger job.... Shot one.... they are OK... :dance:

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.)
Lol.

I know its kind of a thread hijack but I LOVE those updated retro bikes!
P35’s , hipower to you young guys, were the glock of their times.
Almost any country or 3rd world shithole one found oneself in you could easily scrounge up one and some mags.
Performance wise I dare say that not many/any here can outperform it or the chosen fanboy pistol of the day. It’s still the Indian over the arrow and it’s a poor craftsman that blames his tools
I hope they bring it out in a lightweight aluminum frame model and then I could retire my LW Hipowers. Just as light as my G19 but sexy… and a better trigger!
Same performance logic works with the retro/ modern bike theme…. The vast majority of riders will never have the skills to max out even a retro bike and the new stuff will just kill them faster
. Just look at the dual purpose bike guys that are afraid of a gravel parking lot.
FWIW
Let’s go Brandon!
