I like both, but the Operator stands out to me with the picatinny rail. I do like the double stack mag of the 35 though

Love my SA-35 shoots low so SA sending me a lower front sight but it groups at 2inch at 15 yards with 115 & 124 gr. If I bench with a bag its a cloverleaf shooter.Not an issues with about 100 rounds threw it between yesterday and today.

Note to the article's author:

SA did not "modernize" the SA-35 by developing a 15 rd. magazine.

15 rd. MecGar magazines (the supplier to SA with their name on it) have been around for decades.

SA merely offered the SA-35 with the 15 rd. magazine.

Operator in .45 thank you.. no 9mm in a 1911

Did lots of research and the SA-35 seems to fill the empty hole in my arsenal. Have a RO Elite and Ronin both in .45 so the 9 seemed to be the next.

So, ordered a 35 and picked it up yesterday. Cleaned, oiled and waiting to hit the range.

No, if SA comes out with a .380, I'm good.
