Not sure if serious. Ain't nobody cross shopping an SA-35 and Equalizer.I was wondering the same thing. It probably will not get any better as S&W are on the market now with their new EZ9 Equaliizer. 15 round magazine and 10 ozs. lighter than the SA-35.
I understand that the SA-35 is all steel and has 1" longer barrel than the Equalizer, and I loved my Hi Power back in the day, but the S&W is easier on the pocketbook and easier on the body for an EDC.
