Springfield Armory's new SA-35 9mm Polished Blued pistol is a finish variant of the company's existing SA-35, which is based on John Moses Browning's P-35. The company announced the release on January 21, 2026, in a Springfield Armory's press release.
What Was Announced
Springfield Armory is offering the SA-35 with a polished blued finish. The company polishes the metal before applying a hot salt bluing treatment, which gives the pistol a shinier look than the matte-blue original. The pistol is made in the United States.

What It Means for Gun Owners
The change is mostly cosmetic. Buyers who want the SA-35's mechanical updates and a classic-looking finish now have a second option within the same model line. The release does not list availability dates or retailer information, so buyers will need to check with dealers for stock.
Bottom Line
The SA-35 Polished Blued keeps the SA-35 platform and adds a finish aimed at buyers who want an older look. At $799 MSRP, it is priced as a new option in the existing line rather than a separate design.
