I have long been thinking about getting a semiautomatic pistol in 9MM . I wanted something with a larger magazine than the 1911s but I am no fan of the plastic fantastic wundergunz . I looked at the Baretta 92 and liked those, but decided on the Browning Hi Power copy from Springfield Armory . I have been kind of lusting for one ever since they were released , and back in March I got one . I finally had the time to get to the range and try it out , and it is a winner. it's a soft shooting pistol ,not much recoil so it's easy to recover and get back on target for a follow up shot . It has decent sights and the trigger is good as well . My only gripe was only one magazine came with it. First thing I did when I got it home was to order two spare magazines from Springfield Armory the customer service was great I had the spares in my hands in only a couple days. Overall I am more than pleased with the SA35 Its going to be my companion when I go walkabout . But I still might get that Baretta ...
