I've owned my Browning P35 since 1981 and am only now considering it for CCW. I had the trigger worked on some time ago and am happy with it, but there are two or three things I'd want to consider for carry use, and I'd like input on them.
First and most important is the sloppy, spongy safety - I basically have to look at it to see if it's in the "fire" position. I'd like to have it worked on locally, i.e., by a 'smith, not by me; what can be done to fix this? Just as importantly, is there anything with the safety I shouldn't let a smith do to it? I'd rather not replace it if working on it would correct most of the problem.
Second, while the spur hammer has never bitten me, it does stick up a ways when on safe and looks like it could catch on clothing. Does the round hammer improve on that?
Third, my barrel still has the humped feed ramp. It's never caused me any problem - it didn't load first generation 147 gr bullets when I tried them so I avoided them, but it's never bobbled anything in the 115/124 gr range. Is there any particular reason to get this hump erased for carry?
Thanks, and feel free to elaborate or change direction if I've missed something.
