If you’ve been following this series for a while, you know we generally stick pretty closely to hunting guns, or guns with hunting applications like bear defense. The 4" SA-35 from Springfield Armory, a carry-ready version of a genuine classic, is just one such firearm. Based on John Moses Browning's legendary Hi-Power—the first 9mm one of us ever shot—this modernized take from Springfield Armory gives a number of updated features, while still staying true to the original aesthetic of this buttery smooth shooter. The SA-35 4” maintains the classic “wood and steel” vibes of yesteryear, with a blued finish on the gun’s carbon steel, and checkered walnut grips. Finally, one 15-round magazines comes standard with the firearm, though the soft-case it ships in can hold an additional one.
