Owners who have shot their SA-35s, recently so I can evaluate, to see if there are still extraction issues.
Over the years I've acquired, or acquired the use of many different firearms in many different calibers. In many cases I got a gun, or got a gun in a specific cartridge, so that I could determine, for myself, if it did or did not do what people claimed it did.
Often, the gun in my hands was what everyone said it was. Sometimes it was better than that, sometimes it was worse.
The reliability of a firearm depends on many factors working together all at the same time. Not just the mechanical quality of the design, or the execution of the build but also other things, including the ammo used, and the way the user operates it.
The way the gun is used matters a lot, and its something one rarely gets informed about when people make claims of the gun having "issues".
I got a good deal on a pistol once, the owner was selling it cheap, because "it jammed all the time". I bought it, took it home and tried it, and sure enough it did jam 3 or 4 times in the first magazine. Gun had "issues", right? yep, sure did, until I properly OILED IT. Since then that gun has run close to 1,000 rounds without a single malfunction of any kind.
First hand accounts of owners/users are always worth hearing and considering, but in my opinion they alone aren't enough to make a valid, informed decision about an entire production run.
Also, minor "issues" with brand new semi autos are rather common. I shot a Glock that was brand new, it jammed 3 times in the first 150 rnds. Never did after that. Was that an "issue" with the then current Glock production, something common to ALL the guns made? Of course not. In the case of that specific pistol, ammo was Win, each jam was identical, the slide stopped just short of complete lock up. And the problem went away, on its own as shooting continued, and never returned. Brand new gun, just needed a little "breaking in" before becoming fully reliable.
People recounting how their gun had "issues" with this or that, and not giving us any more information, not saying (or even determining) WHY the gun had issues, is essentially null data.
