Springfield Armory SA-35 4" 9mm
Based on one of the most prolific and popular pistols in small arms history, the 9mm Springfield Armory SA-35 gave shooters a modern take on a revered classic. Featuring subtle but significant upgrades to John Moses Browning’s original P-35 design, the SA-35 captured the appeal of the “wood and steel” era of arms making. With this new adaptation of the proven design, shooters have access to a pistol with all the benefits of the original SA-35, but with a shorter, more compact barrel.
Like all SA-35 variants, the new 4” SA-35 is made in the United States and features durable forged steel parts, including the slide, frame, and shorter 4” barrel. The barrel — as with all SA-35 pistols — features an improved feed ramp design for reliable functioning with today’s top defensive ammunition.
Further rounding out the design are the SA-35’s improved ergonomics and controls, such as a recontoured hammer to prevent the risk of “hammer bite” and an extended thumb safety. Additionally, the pistols employ modern sights made up of a white dot front and Tactical Rack black serrated rear sight. And lastly, a flush-fitting 15-round magazine capacity over the original design’s 13-round capacity, feeding into the pistol’s beveled magazine well.
The 4” SA-35 features an attractive matte-blue finish on its carbon steel slide and frame, complemented by a pair of checkered walnut grips contoured to enhance the pistol’s ergonomics and handling characteristics.
