Hi r/milsurp , I know this is a long shot but this is the only place I think might know. Recently I've been looking into a Springfield SA-35 as a Hi-Power clone. I've always loved the old Capitan model of Hi-Power, with the AK-style tangent/leaf sights. I know the older Hi-Powers have a different slide shape so it wouldn't be one-to-one (and probably expensive), so are there any good alternatives to put on an SA-35? I think the SA-35 is Novak style cut.

I have a slow 4-6 weeks coming up until Q3 kicks off. Q1 was busy and I had a small Q2 project that is going smoothly and wrapping up soon. I know my Q3 will be busy when bigger projects kick off in summer, but I'm worried about sitting around and twiddling my thumbs for the next month or so. But likewise, I don't want to volunteer for work and turn into the person that gets stuck with all the volunteer work. I'm trying to maintain a healthy balance of taking initiative without opening *that* door.

I have my eye on the new Springfield SA-35 4" version. It has a 15 round mag so it should be Illinois legal. I know for a fact because all of my local retailers carry the full size version which has the same mag capacity. They just don't have the 4" version in store yet so I was looking online. The only place I could find one in stock is Guns and they won't ship to Illinois. Any advice on how to find one?
