I had a P-35 circa 1969. I had it for about 20 yrs. Had Novak sights and ambi safety installed ( I'm a leftie). It was pristine. I carved rosewood grips for it.
That was before the invention of decent ammo in 9mm.
The P35 has the most natural feeling grips of any pistol I've picked up.
I sold it. :(
Wish I had the pistol today.
Actually when I was in grad school, I needed the money and sold a lot that I really didn't want to sell.
