SA35- what says the ODT?

[rgo]

I started watching a detailed teardown and analysis of the SA-35 by BHSpringSolutions on YouTube. The guy seems to have deep knowledge of the BHP, but is pretty rambly. I'll try to summarize some of the differences he found between the SA-35 and the BHP.

* SA-35 safety is very easy to activate. Only slight pressure will activate it, and it can partially activate even when the hammer is down, which would cause a stoppage.
* Slide fit allows more lateral movement in the barrel than an FN when disassembled. Not a problem during firing.
* No mechanical firing pin block/drop safety
* Light firing pin spring -- coupled with no firing pin block, not good for drop safety.
* Sear lever pin started to deform during their testing.
* Progressive recoil spring. Longer than standard, which causes it to want to jump out during reassembly. Does make the slide easier to rack.
* Sights appear identical to the Tisas. One guy posted in the comments that HK VP9/P30 sights work.
* Small parts, such as the extractor, are better made in the SA-35 than the Tisas.
* Hardness testing shows the SA-35 frame and slide conform to FN hardness, but other parts are consistently softer than an FN/Browning.

But, but, don’t you want to be the first kid on the block to have one?

I did that with the CZ Tac Sport 2....Just HAD to have it.....Now I'm 500 bucks upside down on a gun I'll never get my money back from, should I decide to sell it.......

I bought a Shield when they first came out and demand was high - no local stores had them. A year later they were everywhere and at least $100 less.

Lesson learned.

My buddy has over 1,000rds out of the one that he’s writing the article on. No issues, and he’s very pleased with it.

I got to play with it for a bit today, but not shoot it. I’ll be buying one when they come in.

That's a really good looker for sure!

A custom shorty version in the process of being cut down. No, it didn’t snap off……this is being deliberately done.

What are we looking at? Did you cut it down, or did the end snap/shear off?
