John Moses Browning never saw this one coming. His 1935 design, finished after his death, has now picked up a Coyote Brown Cerakote coat that would look right at home on a dusty ridge in a spaghetti western, with Morricone whistling somewhere in the background.
Springfield Armory has given the SA-35 a finish that earns a second look. This version of the pistol wears a deep, lustrous polished blue across its carbon steel frame and slide, and checkered walnut grips with natural grain complete the picture. It is the "wood and steel" look of class...
Lasers are doing the stippling now. The new Springfield Armory Echelon Pro Comp line arrives with a grip texture called LightForged, where precision lasers sculpt and reform the surface of the grip module to create a highly defined pattern with the look and feel of custom hand stippling, but with...

Back in July I spent some time with the Springfield Armory SA-35 Polished Blued and walked away a fan of that blue and walnut combo. This spring Springfield rolled out a 4″ version of the SA-35, and now that shorter gun gets the same polished treatment, so naturally I had to see if trimming...
