How does Springfield’s SA-35 4-inch stack up as a daily carry gun?The very first pistol I ever bought was a Hi-Power clone, and to this day, it remains my favorite handgun.

It was one of those Minnesota days that tricks you into forgetting that the icy gales of winter and muggy oppression of summer exist. I lay on a pebble-strewn beach at the edge of Lake Superior, and the sun, cool air, and warm rocks felt divine. In a moment of goofy reverie, I hopped up and dove into the crystal water to cool off. Boom! The frigid water exploded every nerve in my skin. I gasped for air. Shocked from my stupor, I remembered that I was wearing a Timex Expedition Capstone watch. I didn’t really care about the time…
