Lots of cool options if SA wants to jump in with both feet. An aluminum frame option. A compact "detective" version also aluminum frame. A railed / red dot version and a version with taller irons and a threaded barrel.

While we're at it, a custom shop offering with checkered or stipple work and trigger work, etc.

You did good. If it weren't for the over sized thumb safety I couldn't tell them apart.

They are selling for a thousand and up on Gunbroker right now. My gunstore is a Springfield dealer and has never had a problem getting guns from them until now. I hope I eventually get mine. I hate for them to refund the price I paid just to spend almost double somewhere else.

Here's what's weird. Some of the largest gun shops in my area, places I have shopped at and people I know, can't get their hands on one. But the guy that I got it from he bought it from a Ace Hardware Store in a little town in Indiana. They just happen to have a gun shop in the hardware store. They got two of them in.

Meanwhile, none of the largest gun stores in my area couldn't even get any in. I have my name on five different lists at 5 different places

The only issues I have heard so far are the sharp edges and a possibility of the extractor channel being rough and causing ejection problems after about 1000rds. The only issues I have with mine are the sharp edges and the recoil spring was a bit longer than OEM. I replaced it with a factory spring and have had zero issues for about 500rd. I still wonder if SA is using Wolff springs in these guns. My experience with Wolff is longer than normal recoil springs on a variety of different pistols.

Still listed on their site, not discontinued. I haven't heard of any more releases, or even any more of them trickling out in several months though.

Well I can tell you guys this. Mine was running 100% right up until I hit about 1200 rounds and then I started having extraction issues. I replaced the extractor with a Browning extractor but I had to work on fitting it because it's hanging up on the extraction groove on the case. It still does not run 100% now. I still need to work on it some more and keep testing it..

I wonder the lack of availability is because Springfield is working through some kinks.

I thought that when I reached 1,100 rounds that maybe mine wasn't going to be one of those. However I was wrong. It's a good thing I've got an original Browning in the gun safe. I'm not giving up on this one I will get it to run 100%. I just haven't had the time to finagle it

Link to a INDUSTRY forum. A Springfield rep replied and indicated that they had "QC" issues and had stopped production but should be resuming production this month.
https://www.ar15.com/forums/Industry/SA-35-SACS-/784-300429/

I had ordered one in December 2021 through the old Individual Officer Program. In March Springfield cancelled the order and changed the program to Firstline and removed the SA-35 from the list of discounted items. The dealer placed at order for me after the change but has not received any SA-35's. I handled one in a local shop in April, I wasn't overly impressed with that one, it had bluing salts starting to appear around the muzzle end of the slide and the grip edges were somewhat sharp.

In the mean time I've picked up a FN Browning GP Competition and a Girsan Match. The Girsan has about 200 rounds through it in the week I've owned it and it has functioned flawlessly, accuracy is decent. The GP Competition was in like new condition, not bad for a 41 year old pistol, and after the first trip to the range I found out why, it was getting double feeds almost every shot. The accuracy was excellent but very tedious to have to clear the weapon with almost every shot. I replaced the hammer spring with a lighter spring and installed a new recoil spring. The second range trip it functioned without any issues.

EDITED to correct the name of the new program, had listed it as First Responder, it is Firstline.

I did the pre-order from Brownell's, as posted above that went nowhere.
Watched as Grab A Gun ran their cost up to about 2x list price.
But on 11/13/21 I had placed an order with Impact Guns. Got monthly emails saying hey, it's still OOS, just stand by to stand by. Until today.
Got an email from them to update my FFL because the previous FFL (SWFA) had closed up their retail location. So I did, and now I have one headed to me for the price listed a year ago.
Very happy with that, and I'm looking forward to finally being able to use the mags and grips I ordered.

I was shocked to find one at my LGS a couple of weeks ago. I have a couple of range sessions on it now with a mix of ammo, including carry ammo (Fed HST 124 gr)

Not a single hickup, and I shot it until it was dirty, really dirty, Wolf and lead handloads dirty. No malfunctions at all.

The one odd thing, my older HPs seem to like 124gr but this gun seems more accurate with 115 gr. Nothing drastic and not scientific and could have bee the difference of the manufacture.

I feel confident enough that I am carrying it now.

Not bad for $649 + tax.

Curious how this one will do. I keep 124+P NATO Winnie ball, GDHPs in 124+P and 147, and the heavier Syntech stuff. I've considered getting some 115 stuff to try out.

	The banning or confiscation of weapons is a denial of the nature of Man, a pathetic attempt to avert the violence innate to Mankind, an insult to the Sacred Creed of the Murdercube.

The pricing is varying by shop, with Grab A Gun still jacking the price way up although it is down from their crack baby high of a year ago.

Field strip the pistol, then slide a round onto the breech face with the extractor over the rim. Shake the slide and see if the round is loose/rattles. Kind of a quick and dirty way to see if there is an issue with the extractor holding onto the rim. Early production models were having problems with the extractor and rattled. Needs to be confirmed with firing and extraction/ejection observed, but can be an indicator of something to look for if problems occur. Stephen Camp described similar process but looked at about 5# of pressure being needed to slide the round back out from under the extractor.
