The Springfield Armory SA-35 4-Inch Compact optimizes John Moses Browning's iconic P-35 High Power design into a shorter, faster-handling profile engineered for modern everyday carry. Trimming the slide assembly and cold hammer-forged barrel down from the traditional 4.7-inch configuration, this handgun drops its overall length to 7.1 inches and weight to under 30 ounces while preserving a full-hand grip layout. Built entirely on rugged forged carbon steel parts coated in a matte blued finish, it retains the modern ergonomics of the SA-35 platform, including a recontoured loop hammer to eliminate "hammer bite" and an enhanced, beveled magazine well. It eliminates the historical magazine disconnect safety to produce a crisp, factory-tuned single-action trigger break while enabling magazines to drop completely free. The compact SA-35 configuration pairs timeless wood-and-steel character with high-visibility white dot front sights and includes one 15-round factory steel magazine.
