This reimagined world-renowned design for modern use has had many names in its century-long history. The Springfield Armory SA-35 gives today’s shooters a modern take on a revered design modeled on one of the most popular pistols in small arms history. With subtle but significant enhancements to John Moses Browning’s original P-35, the 9mm SA-35 embodies the “wood and steel” era aesthetic of arms production while offering the refinement of today’s defensive pistols.

The SA-35 features rugged made in the USA forged steel parts for strength and durability, improved ergonomics and enhanced controls, modern sights, an improved feed ramp design and an increased 15-round capacity.  The removal of the magazine disconnect found in the original P-35 design serves the factory-tuned trigger, allowing for a smooth pull and crisp, clean break.

Call it a legend, call it an icon, but whatever you do, don’t call it a classic.

The SA-35 boasts:

 

A FORGED FRAME & SLIDE

Slide and frame made from rugged forgings to ensure longevity and strength. The addition of a cold hammer forged barrel contributes to pistol durability.

 

RECONTOURED HAMMER

Improved geometry to prevent the risk of “hammer bite” to the web of the hand.

 

EXTENDED THUMB SAFETY

Rendering it easier to engage.

 

MODERN SIGHT CONFIGURATION

The white dot front and Tactical Rack rear sights provide enhanced sight picture.

 

CHECKERED WALNUT GRIPS

Complementing the matte blue finish of the carbon steel.

 

MAGAZINE INCLUDED

One 15-round, double-column, blued-steel magazine
