The Polished 4\u201d SA-35 is the latest model of Springfield Armory\u2019s interpretation of the original FN High Power pistol. This version sports a polished blue finish, giving the pistol an air of sophistication and elegance. Damn, I miss polished blued pistols and checkered wood grips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this pistol will scratch that itch for nostalgia, it is also proportioned like many modern handguns today, with a full-size grip and a compact slide and barrel, just like the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0FC, Glock G45, Walther PDP, CZ P-10, and others. The full-size grip offers plenty of real estate for excellent control and the shortened slide and barrel make the pistol easier and more comfortable to carry, as well as offer nice, controllable cycling for fast follow-up shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1686-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"standard Springfield SA-35 beside SA-35 4 inch Polished showing shorter slide and barrel\" class=\"wp-image-256155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1686-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1686-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1686-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1686-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1686.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Side by side the standard size SA-35 (left) and SA-35 4&#8243; Polished (right).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took longer than usual testing this pistol, since I was fortunate enough to receive a Polished 4&#8243; SA-35 weeks before the announcement and because I just like shooting and carrying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1692-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"standard Springfield SA-35 and SA-35 4 inch Polished muzzles and recoil systems compared\" class=\"wp-image-256157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1692-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1692-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1692-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1692-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1692.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One difference between the standard SA-35 (left) and the SA-35 4&#8243; Polished (right) is the recoil spring guide rod.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-springfield-sa-35-evolution-from-matte-blue-to-polished-steel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Springfield SA-35 Evolution: From Matte Blue to Polished Steel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Springfield Armory has evolved its SA-35 pistol since it was introduced in 2021. The original came in a discreet, all-business matte blue finish. Then Springfield Armory threw on the obligatory Crayola Cerakote finishes like Coyote Brown Cerakote, because you can\u2019t introduce a pistol these days without offering it the color of desert sand. There\u2019s a Tactical Gray Cerakote model, too. And that\u2019s my point. The SA-35, like its patriarch, the FN High Power, is an iconic pistol befitting a traditional polished blue finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Springfield Armory introduced a unique SA-35, one that neither FN nor Browning ever produced: the SA-35 4\u201d with a 4-inch barrel. Full-size SA-35s use a 4.7-inch barrel, and FN did not deviate from that spec. Does 3\/4 of an inch make a difference? That may sound like the lead-in to an off-color joke, but it does if you are looking for a compact, daily carry handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-before-the-sa-35-high-power-clones-and-the-4-inch-detective\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the SA-35: High Power Clones and the 4-Inch Detective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SA-35 design was introduced in 1935 by FN just before World War II. When the German army invaded and occupied Belgium and the FN plant, they knew a good pistol design when they saw one and continued production. FN design drawings slipped through the Nazis&#8217; net and ended up in Canada, with licensed copies being produced by John Inglis and Company, which was one of two firearms manufacturers to license the design. The other was Fabricaciones Militares (FM) in Argentina, which licensed and produced the standard size pistol in 1968 as well as a variant of their own nicknamed the \u201cDetective Hi Power.\u201d The \u201cDetective\u201d featured a 4-inch barrel and was produced from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/high-power-detective-model-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"FM Detective High Power compared with standard FN High Power pistol\" class=\"wp-image-256102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/high-power-detective-model-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/high-power-detective-model-400x249.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/high-power-detective-model-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/high-power-detective-model-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/high-power-detective-model.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The High Power &#8220;Detective&#8221; model (bottom) is more compact than a standard High Power (top) and was produced by FM in Argentina. The &#8220;Detective&#8221; model was never produced by FN, the original manufacturer of the High Power. (Courtesy Rock Island Auctions.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Argentine-designed pistol also had finger grooves built into the front grip strap. Other than the finger grooves and shortened slide and barrel it is exactly like an HP. The 4-inch barrel on the \u201cDetective\u201d offered easier concealed carry than the standard-size High Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clones of the High Power popped up all over the globe in countries that reverse-engineered the design. In Hungary, FEG made the PJK-9HP. India, Israel, Bulgaria, Turkey and Indonesia all produced standard-size High Power clones. The popularity of this older pistol design is only surpassed by the popularity of the 1911 platform. And like the 1911, the High Power is an evergreen design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-sa-35-4-polished-features-old-school-beauty-modern-hardware\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">SA-35 4\u2033 Polished Features: Old-School Beauty, Modern Hardware<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main differences between the standard-size SA-35 and 4\u201d SA-35 are the length of the slide and barrel. The recoil spring in the 4\u201d SA-35 is longer and uses a flat wire; the standard has a typical round coiled spring. The 4\u201d also uses a one-piece recoil spring guide rod, which really smooths the cycling of the pistol. I noticed a difference between the full size SA-35 and the 4\u201d SA-35. The receiver for both pistols is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1672-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Springfield SA-35 4 inch Polished extended thumb safety close-up\" class=\"wp-image-256109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1672-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1672-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1672-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1672-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1672.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The thumb safety on the SA-35 4&#8243; Polished is modernized, slightly oversized, and extended.

You can see your reflection in it. The controls, hammer, trigger, thumb safety, magazine catch and slide stop, all wear a slight matte blue finish. Metal work was excellent.

The front post wears a white dot that is easy to pick up on a dark target, and the Tactical Rack rear sight offers a U-shaped notch to drop that dot into. The rear sight is also flush with the rear of the slide to eke out as much sight radius as possible, and the user-facing edge is serrated to reduce sun glare. Good sights for a pistol intended to be in a fight. And as the name implies, the edge of the rear sight can be used to rack the slide. Yes, I did try it on the edge of the shooting bench and the mouth of my holster, and it worked. This 4\u201d SA-35 is polished, but that doesn\u2019t mean you need to baby it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1676-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Springfield SA-35 4 inch Polished with slide locked back showing recoil guide rod\" class=\"wp-image-256150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1676-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1676-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1676-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1676-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1676.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SA-35 4\u201d uses a one-piece recoil spring guide rod, which really smooths the cycling of the pistol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thumb safety is modernized and slightly oversized and extended. I found the thumb safety easy to engage and disengage with the thumb of my shooting hand. I am right-handed, and the SA-35 does favor right-handed shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Springfield Armory also changed the contour of the hammer so those of you with hands the size of bear paws don\u2019t experience hammer bite. I have average-sized hands, and hammer bite is not a concern. The rounded hammer gives the 4\u201d SA-35 and all of the SA-35 models, for that matter, a retro look. The edges of the pistol are broken and smooth. Nothing sharp to abrade skin during recoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1779-1024x430.jpeg\" alt=\"standard SA-35 and SA-35 4 inch Polished field stripped showing recoil spring differences\" class=\"wp-image-256174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1779-1024x430.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1779-400x168.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1779-150x63.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1779-768x323.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1779.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The recoil spring in the SA-35 4&#8243; Polished (right) uses a flat spring and recoil guide rod.

Reset is soft with no tactile indication, which may weird out shooters who teethed on striker-fired triggers and expect to hear and feel the click when the trigger resets. I\u2019m old school, and still have muscle memory for SA-35 style triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The front and rear grip straps are void of texture, but I have never really thought that this was a ding on the design. The checkered wood grips provide sufficient adhesion without any abrasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grip angle on the SA-35 is similar to a 1911; about 18 degrees. I can shoot pistols with this grip angle better than pistols with sharper grip angles. I can also reload the SA-35 quicker than a traditional single-stack 1911, too. The SA-35 has a beveled magazine well, and the magazines taper at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Polished 4\u201d SA-35 comes with one 15-round steel magazine. Original FN High Powers were equipped with a 13-round magazine. There are witness holes on the right side. I suspect Mec-Gar produces the magazines for Springfield Armory because the aftermarket Mec-Gar magazines I have are exact except for the Springfield Armory logo. Loading the magazines is easy on your thumbs even on the last few rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1674-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Springfield SA-35 4 inch Polished beveled magazine well for faster reloads\" class=\"wp-image-256149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1674-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1674-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1674-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1674-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1674.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A beveled magazine well and tapered magazines help make reloads with the SA-35 Polished 4&#8243; easier and faster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-sa-35-4-polished-range-test-fast-smooth-and-accurate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">SA-35 4\u2033 Polished Range Test: Fast, Smooth and Accurate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used training, competition, and defense loads in the Polished 4\u201d SA-35 to see how a variety of bullet shapes and weights performed. The training load was Panther 124-grain FMJ, and the competition load was Atlanta Arms Steel Challenge 115-grain FMJ. The Atlanta Arms Steel Challenge ammo is loaded at a lower velocity, 1009 fps out of the 4\u201d SA-35, for more controllability when shooting fast. Panther ammo clocked 1062 fps out of the SA-35. Defense loads consisted of Shell Tech 65-grain fluted copper polymer bullet and Remington Ultimate Defense 124-grain Golden Saber BJHP. The Shell Tech ammo is loaded for speed and screamed out of the 4-inch barrel at 1408 fps. The Remington load had a respectable 1140 fps muzzle velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1705-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Springfield SA-35 4 inch Polished range test with 15-yard Bad Guy silhouette target\" class=\"wp-image-256170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1705-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1705-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1705-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1705-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1705.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SA-35 4&#8243; Polished was easy to control at speed, giving this Bad Guy silhouette 9mm freckles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get acquainted with the shorty SA-35, I used a Birchwood Casey Bad Guy silhouette target at 15 yards and topped off the magazines.

Nada. No Issues.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had no issues with the Polished 4\u201d SA-35 during the review and testing. Zilch. Nada. I ran the pistol like I had been shooting it for years. I attribute that to the grip angle and the large sights. And my familiarity with the High Power platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a second trip to the range, I ran a BAER Solutions Standard Drill. You shoot this 13-round drill cold. Load 10 rounds in one magazine and 3 in the other. Load the mag with 10 rounds. I ran this drill at 7 yards. Five rounds go into the left rectangle, transition to the right rectangle, and fire 5 more rounds as fast as possible. Slide locks back, reload the three-round magazine, and surgically punch 3 holes in the center circle. When I\u2019m low on ammo, I run this with 10 rounds: 4 rounds each in the rectangles and 2 rounds in the circle. This drill gives me a sense of how a pistol will run fast, reload, and shoot for accuracy. You can time yourself if you have a timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1709-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Springfield SA-35 4 inch Polished BAER Solutions Standard Drill target\" class=\"wp-image-256172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1709-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1709-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1709-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1709.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SA-35 4&#8243; Polished was easy to control when performing BAER Solutions Standard Drills.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had to pay more attention to the reloads to ensure I inserted the fresh mag clean. I bumbled the first few fast reloads because I am so used to magwell funnels. With repetition, reloads were smooth. I used the slide stop to send the slide home after a reload. It was positive and easy to press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only complaints I have, and they aren\u2019t really complaints, but I would add a thumb groove in the left grip and slightly increase the magazine release catch height.

It\u2019s an old-school style holster that uses gravity as a retention device. One drawback is the pistol can be pushed out of the holster if you are not paying attention when you sit down in an armchair, depending how broken in the holster is. And, because the holster is open on the bottom the front sight can snag when being drawn. I had no issues with the Shorty SA-35. Don\u2019t use a Yaqui Slide if your pistol is equipped with tall sights. The holster worked perfect with the 4\u201d SA-35. Working in the office, running errands, the Shorty SA-35 was comfortable and easy to carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1003\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1787-1024x1003.jpeg\" alt=\"Springfield SA-35 4 inch Polished review pistol seated in minimalist leather holster\" class=\"wp-image-256178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1787-1024x1003.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1787-306x300.jpeg 306w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1787-150x147.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1787-768x752.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/polished-422-sa-35-review-IMG_1787.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The SA-35 4&#8243; Polished was easy to carry in a minimalist holster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-springfield-armory-sa-35-4-polished-specifications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Springfield Armory SA-35 4\u2033 Polished Specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Model<\/th><td>SA-35 4\u2033 Polished<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Caliber<\/th><td>9mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Action<\/th><td>Semi-auto, tilting barrel<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Barrel Length<\/th><td>4 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Overall Length<\/strong><\/td><td>7.1 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Weight Without Optic<\/th><td>29.8 ounces<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Capacity<\/th><td>15-round magazine<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Finish<\/th><td>Polished blue<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Stock<\/th><td>Checkered walnut<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sights<\/th><td>White dot front, serrated Tactical Rack rear<\/td><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Trigger Pull<\/th><td>3.8 pounds<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-springfield-sa-35-4-polished-pros-and-cons-beauty-with-bite\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Springfield SA-35 4\u2033 Polished Pros and Cons: Beauty With Bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Very reliable, excellent grip angle, good trigger, good sights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cons:<\/strong> I miss a gas pedal and funnel magwell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-springfield-sa-35-4-polished-verdict-a-defense-pistol-with-class\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Springfield SA-35 4\u2033 Polished Verdict: A Defense Pistol With Class<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Polished 4\u201d SA-35 is a beautiful-looking pistol.
