"Springfield Armory has introduced the Polished Blued SA-35, a modernized version of the iconic P-35 pistol. This upgraded 9mm pistol features a striking polished finish, enhanced ergonomics, improved controls, and a 15-round magazine capacity. The SA-35 combines classic aesthetics with contemporary enhancements, appealing to both shooters and collectors.


While the original SA-35 features an attractive matte-blue finish, this new polished blued model employs a specialized polishing process prior to it receiving its hot salt bluing treatment. The result is a pistol featuring a finish that harkens back to the early eras of this classic design.

Retaining all the appealing characteristics of the original design, the SA-35 features a slide and frame made from rugged forgings for increased strength and improved durability over the original. Further adding to the durability of the 9mm pistol is the addition of a cold hammer forged barrel.

The pistol also features improved ergonomics and enhanced controls. The SA-35’s hammer features improved geometry to prevent the risk of “hammer bite” to the web of the hand, common with the original design. In addition, an extended thumb safety offers easier engagement and access.

Additional upgrades over the original design include modern-style sights made up of a white dot front and a Tactical Rack rear sight with light-diffusing serrations for an enhanced sight picture. Also, the magazine capacity of the included flush-fitting polished blue magazine is a full 15 rounds, increased over the original’s 13-round capacity.

Complementing the polished blue finish of this pistol is a set of beautiful checkered walnut grips, featuring attractive grain and finely cut checkering. In addition, the magwell is also slightly funneled to ease loading of magazines into the pistol."

That's beautiful

Yep! A great looking handgun.

Mighty fine looking pistol!

How much $$$$$$

Yes, a beautiful piece of industrial art that shoots.

Damn, that is handsome!

Stupid! I just bought the phosphate one. Ugh!!

Best looking pistol ever created. Possibly best looking handgun although it would be an awfully close call with a 3.5" S&W M27, the best looking revolver ever.

I’ve got the standard model, that new high polished blue looks great!

Good looking pistol. IIRC there were extractor issues that SA would fix. Does anyone know if these issues were ever fully resolved?

That's handsome. Blued steel and wood are meant for one another.

Always something. I have a matte blued one too. I saw a stainless one at Academy too.

But the polished blue with walnut is THE classic Hi Power look.

They'll sell a lot of those.

It's certainly something we've lost. There was a time all guns looked like that.

I wish it wasn't Springfield, I'd buy one.

I would love to see FN release a high polished version

Considering that the issue was quickly identified as a weak extractor spring, if SA Inc didn't correct this easily-remedied problem long ago, they would be earning their reputation for indifferent quality control.

We're talking about a spring that would cost them pennies.

I really want one with a set of Craig Spegel panels on it.

$799 according to Springfield's webpage; same price as the matte blued finish version.
