Springfield Armory Releases Four New Pistols for 2026

Springfield partnered with Hilton Yam of 10-8 Performance to create the Master Class 1911, available in both .45 ACP and 9mm. Yam is a retired FBI Special Agent who spent 19 years on Miami SWAT and served as the division's Principal Firearms Instructor.

The gun starts with hand-selected forged carbon steel frames and slides, paired with stainless bull barrels. Springfield fits and blends each pistol before outfitting it with 10-8 Performance parts: a reverse recoil spring plug, extended magazine catch, flat trigger, specialized slide stop, and G-10 grips by VZ. The squared trigger guard and aggressive 20 line-per-inch frontstrap checkering give it a modern look while keeping things functional.

What sets this apart is the Agency Optic System (AOS), developed with Agency Arms. AOS uses interchangeable plates to fit optics with RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro, and Docter footprints. Each plate includes a rear sight for proper co-witness. The gun ships with a cover plate that has an integrated rear sight, plus a coupon for an optic-mounting plate of your choice at $49.99.

You get three magazines and a two-piece extended magwell in the box. This is a Lipsey's distributor exclusive with an MSRP of $2,099 for either caliber.

The  Echelon 4.0FC combines the compact slide of the 4.0C with a dedicated "FC" grip module that features the full grip length of the 4.5F, but with the short dust cover of the 4.0C. You get full-size capacity with faster handling.

Like all Echelon variants, it features Springfield's Central Operating Group—the serialized chassis that can swap between grip modules in seconds. The Variable Interface System allows direct-mount compatibility with over 30 optics without adapter plates. You configure the self-locking pins for your optic's footprint.

It's fully ambidextrous and comes with tritium/luminescent U-Dot sights, one flush-fit 17-round magazine and one extended 20-round magazine. There are also 15-round and 10-round versions for restricted states. All variants are available through the FIRSTLINE discount program and Gear Pac offerings that include a factory-installed Viridian RFX11 green dot, four magazines, and a range bag.

MSRP is $710 for all three capacity variants.

The SA-35 gets the old-school treatment with a polished blued finish. Based on Browning's P-35 design, the SA-35 already offered modern upgrades to that classic. This version adds a specialized polishing process before hot salt bluing for a finish that recalls the early days of the design.

The upgrades over the original P-35 remain: slide and frame built from durable forgings, cold hammer forged barrel, improved hammer geometry to prevent hammer bite, and an extended thumb safety. You get modern white dot front and Tactical Rack rear sights, plus 15-round magazines instead of the original's 13-round capacity.

The polished blue pairs with checkered walnut grips and a slightly funneled magwell. It's a good-looking gun for those who appreciate traditional finishes. MSRP is $799.

The .300 BLK variant joins the SAINT Victor lineup with a 9.5-inch barrel. It uses 7075-T6 upper and lower receivers with Type III hardcoat anodizing, keeping weight down while maintaining durability. The Accu-Tite Tension System eliminates play between receivers.

Inside you'll find an enhanced bolt carrier group with a 9310 carpenter steel bolt that's HP/MPI tested and nitrided for corrosion resistance. The flat-faced, nickel boron-coated trigger offers a smooth pull. The free-floated handguard has a full-length top rail and M-Lok slots.

The 9.5-inch, 1:7 twist barrel is made from 4150 CMV steel with a continuous tapered profile and nitride coating. The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle comes topped with a four-prong flash hider. A Radian Raptor-LT charging handle and 45-degree ambidextrous safety make it easy to run with either hand.

The pistol ships with an SB Tactical SBA3 adjustable stabilizing brace, seven integrated QD cups, and spring-loaded aluminum flip-up sights. MSRP is $1,249.
