The Springfield Armory SA-35 delivers classic Hi-Power design with modern manufacturing precision. This 9mm pistol combines time-tested ergonomics with contemporary reliability standards for serious shooters who demand proven performance.
What Makes This Different

Springfield's manufacturing process eliminates common feeding issues found in vintage Hi-Powers while maintaining the original's exceptional balance and pointability. The stainless steel barrel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel alternatives.
