Springfield Armory SA35.

After stopping in 10 Gun Stores in central and southern Wisconsin, Up to and including the big box stores, I can say these are scarce as hen’s teeth in our neck of the woods.

I hear ya.  I'm looking at that one, but I'm looking at the version from FN even harder, just for the more modern amenities.  I like ambi safety levers on guns that have safety levers.

Here's the FN:

Guy at Scheels said they had gotten two in and both were spoken for before they hit the floor. Another store said they have customers they ordered them for 6 months ago that are still waiting. So it may be a while.

Sounds like cars, trucks, furniture, and washing machines right now. Not even surprised with that info.  Thanks, Pete Butti-gig.

I'd like to have one of the Springfields.
I've got a MKIII Practical BHP with Spegel cocobolo grips

and a MKII that was chromed by someone and later gifted to me. I rebuilt the action with a cylinder and slide hammer and sear kit, a MKIII ambi safety, a complete Wolff spring kit, Ahrends grips and a Pachmyer slide stop. As I received the gun it had an aftermarket chrome safety and slide stop, a set of rubber scales and if you pulled the trigger while the safety was on and then took the safety off the hammer would fall to half cock. The mag safety was not present when I received it and I have not replaced it.
