Springfield Armory has dressed up its compact SA-35 with a polished blued finish, giving shooters another option that blends classic styling with everyday-carry dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new 4-inch Polished Blued SA-35<\/a> is chambered in 9mm and built around Springfield\u2019s updated take on the historic P-35 pistol. It retains the familiar steel-and-walnut look while incorporating practical changes for modern defensive use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pistol\u2019s<\/a> forged carbon-steel frame and slide receive a polished blued finish that gives the gun a deep, glossy appearance. Checkered walnut grip panels complete the old-school presentation while providing some useful texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carry-focused change is the 4-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel. Springfield gives it a 1:10 twist and an improved feed-ramp design intended to work with modern defensive ammunition<\/a>. The pistol measures 7.1 inches long, stands 4.8 inches tall and weighs 29.8 ounces. That is not polymer-pistol light, but steel-frame fans will likely consider the extra weight part of the appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springfield also carries over the functional upgrades that distinguish the SA-35 from a straight reproduction of the classic P-35<\/a>. Those include a factory-tuned trigger, improved ergonomics, enhanced controls and a 15-round flush-fitting magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sighting system consists of a white-dot front sight paired with a serrated Tactical Rack rear. It is a traditional iron-sight setup, but one designed to offer better visibility and more practical handling than the small sights found on many older pistols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
