Springfield Armory is trimming things down a bit.
The company just announced a new 4″ version of the SA-35, giving fans of the classic Hi-Power-style pistol a slightly more compact option without changing what made the original appealing in the first place.
If you’re into that old-school “wood and steel” vibe, this one stays right in that lane.
The SA-35 line has always been Springfield’s modern take on the original Browning P-35 design (clean lines, all steel, no frills) but with a few updates to make it more usable with today’s ammo and expectations.
This new version keeps all of that… just with a shorter barrel.
Coming in at 4 inches, the idea here is simple: a little more compact, a little easier to carry, and a bit quicker handling without turning it into something it’s not. Everything else stays pretty familiar.
You’re still getting a forged steel slide and frame, along with a forged barrel. Springfield kept the improved feed ramp design, which has been one of the key upgrades for running modern defensive ammo more reliably than older Hi-Power variants.
Ergonomics also carry over.
There’s a reworked hammer to help avoid the classic “hammer bite,” an extended thumb safety, and a set of straightforward sights, a white dot up front and a serrated black rear with a ledge for one-handed manipulation if needed.
Capacity bumps up slightly over the original design as well, with a 15-round flush-fit magazine. Visually, nothing crazy here and that’s kind of the point. Matte blue finish. Walnut grips. Clean, traditional look.
MSRP lands at $799, which puts it right in line with what you’d expect for a U.S.-made steel-frame pistol in this category.
At the end of the day, if you liked the SA-35 but wanted something just a bit more compact, this checks that box without messing with the formula that made it popular in the first place.
