The Springfield Armory SA-35 revitalizes one of the most influential handgun designs in history. This modern interpretation of John Moses Browning's legendary Hi Power doesn't just honor its heritage—it enhances it. Serving militaries and law enforcement in over 90 countries for generations and immortalized in film, the Hi Power is as relevant today as it was in 1935. Whether you've seen it in the holsters of allied nations or in the hands of Axel Foley, its silhouette is iconic. Variations of the Hi Power have been used in Serpico, Beverly Hills Cop, The Matrix, Tango & Cash, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the so bad it's good Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!
The Browning Hi Power stands as one of the most influential handguns ever created. Designed in the 1920s by John Moses Browning and completed by Dieudonné Saive after Browning's death, the P-35 (named for its 1935 introduction) pioneered the double-stack magazine concept that revolutionized handgun capacity. For over 80 years, it served as the standard sidearm for more than 90 nations' military and police forces, earning its reputation through uncompromising reliability and natural pointability.
Springfield Armory's SA-35 honors this storied past while addressing the original's few shortcomings. The recontoured hammer eliminates the notorious "hammer bite" that plagued the original design. The improved feed ramp ensures flawless cycling with modern defensive ammunition. The extended thumb safety provides enhanced ergonomics, and the beveled magwell facilitates smoother reloads.
The SA-35 bridges two eras—combining the timeless appeal of blued steel and walnut with the performance demands of contemporary defensive pistols. Each component is thoughtfully engineered to maintain the soul of Browning's design while elevating its capabilities for today's shooters.
With its blend of historical significance and modern enhancements, the Springfield Armory SA-35 doesn't just preserve a legend—it ensures its relevance for another century of service. Whether you're a collector appreciating fine firearms craftsmanship, a shooting enthusiast seeking reliable performance, or simply someone who recognizes the enduring value of a design that has stood the test of time, the SA-35 delivers quality that speaks for itself.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
