You don't know that half of it:

I asked GoTenda and they have no timeline on it.
I asked Reliable Gun and they said about a year.

If you are lucky and probably very limited on the number of pistols coming north.

Any P35 style pistol is interesting at the very least.

I wonder if SA is making the frames and other components in North America.

Lots of knock offs from offshore that are very good as well.

I know in the past, SA has rebranded Argentinian (or was it Brazilian FN FALs) for the US market back in the day.
I have a feeling these are Argentinian made.

Yep, Brazilian FNs and G3 clones that I seem to recall came from Greece.

Their 1911 forging’s come from Brazil, I think. Then they are finished in ‘ merica.

Even without a tanget sight would be fine by me.
Can still play the role of a nifty 9mm carbine, as well as pistol !

It would... and give one a reason to track down a tangent sight slide as a spare... hmmm...

It was patented in 1923... developed further after JMB's death and into production in 1935.

Yes.

My assumption was they're getting forgings from the same supplier as their 1911s...

Springfield has been making some very good firearms lately. Good to see.

It’s not coming from Brazil for sure. In Brazil Imbel can produce 1911’s and FN FAL as previously mentioned. I spoke to a SA employee in South America and he told me that the parts are coming from Croatia, South Corea and US. Not sure what parts come from each country.

Looks cool!
Good review by TFB TV

Wow. Quite the supply chain for one gun.

Browning's patents ONLY cover the rising barrel locked breech theory (today used pretty much in every auto pistol). If you look closely at the patent drawing, it looks like JMBrowning patented a lifting breech locked Savage 1907. I'm somewhat surprised Savage didn't sue over the sear trigger linkage - perhaps they didn't patent it, or their patent had expired.

in fact looking at Brownings Patent drawings, some of the componants appear to be exact duplicates of the Savage. This would make perfect sense as the Savage 1907 .45 was the direct competitor to the Browning/Colt - so Browning would have examined them in detail.

Everything else was Dieudonné Saive.

Saive created the double to single stack magazine (originally developed by Savage for the M.1907) (and sent it to JMB) and firing system.

Saive's model 1928 and 1931 are the direct ancestors of the BHP M.1935.

And by the way, the ergonomics that JMB allegedly told Saive to copy from the m.1911 were developed by Colt's and the US Ord Dept, not JMB.

Best to wait for SA to troubleshoot before buying these.
