Springfield Armory continues its commitment to preserving American firearm heritage while enhancing modern functionality with two striking new additions to their SA-35 lineup. The iconic Hi-Power design, already successfully revitalized through Springfield's SA-35, now comes in Coyote Brown and Tactical Gray Cerakote finishes that combine battlefield aesthetics with practical durability.

These new variants aren't merely cosmetic upgrades – they represent a significant advancement in firearm protection technology. The premium Cerakote finishes provide superior resistance against rust and corrosion, virtually eliminating the maintenance headaches associated with traditional blueing. For the serious shooter, this means more range time and less worry about environmental damage to your investment.

Both models feature enhanced G10 grip panels that perfectly complement their respective color schemes while providing superior purchase during rapid-fire strings. This tactile improvement ensures confident handling in any condition – a critical consideration for both defensive applications and competitive shooting.

Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory, emphasized the significance of these additions: "The SA-35 provides shooters with a high-quality, U.S.-made version of one of the most popular and proven handguns ever designed. With these new color options featuring tough Cerakote finishes and G10 grips, fans have two new eye-catching options with this highly capable pistol."

The expanded SA-35 lineup is now available at three price points:

  • SA-35 9mm | Black | MSRP $799
  • SA-35 9mm | Tactical Gray | MSRP $859
  • SA-35 Lipsey's Exclusive 9mm | Coyote Brown | MSRP $859

The Coyote Brown variant, available exclusively through Lipsey's, continues the firearms industry's tradition of dealer exclusives that support America's network of independent gun shops.

Springfield's continued investment in expanding the SA-35 family demonstrates the enduring appeal of John Browning's final pistol design. By combining the proven 9mm platform with modern materials and finishes, Springfield ensures that this legendary firearm remains relevant for both collectors and practical shooters who demand reliability and heritage in equal measure.

These new offerings stand as testament to the American firearm industry's ability to honor tradition while embracing innovation – ensuring that classic designs remain viable options for personal defense, competition, and recreational shooting for generations to come.
