Remarks & Notes

Aesthetically my favorite of the line, this experimental, crammed onto an SD35 frame presents a big old chunk of power, as am I. Well, a chunk anyway. And old. I was delighted to catch it working the Colton Switcher on another SoCal day. In three months I would have to start breathing air I couldn't even see.
