Could SA develop a short barreled Hi Power next?

[youngolddude]

I like the new SA-35 and want one bad. While waiting, I'm wondering if they could develop a shorter barreled Hi Power. A 1911 was first developed as a 5 inch model and then a commander, so why not a "commander" Hi Power? Examine pictures of the new model. Can you imagine one about an inch shorter? I can and I'd like to see it.

Argentina made a shortened BHP, but I don't remember Browning/FN ever offering one.

Time will tell with the SA-35.

The FM “Detective”. Shorter barrel, standard frame, similar to a Commander 1911. The slides are still available, but command insane prices.

Cylinder & Slide once offered a “Scout” (iirc) package that shortened the barrel & grip, but I no longer see it offered.

Everybody wants something new/different.

Read the forum SA, a 1911 mini/shortie w double stack capacity!
