The French Model 1935 pistols, including the 1935A and 1935S, were adopted by the French Army in 1935 and 1937 respectively. Both models feature an 8-round magazine and chamber the 7.65mm French Long cartridge. Early production 1935A pistols were designed by Charles Petter and manufactured by SACM, while the 1935S was a secondary adoption from MAS due to demand. Original surplus ammunition is often unreliable, with modern Steinel Ammunition recommended.

This YouTube video showcases a collection of World War II firearms acquired at the 2022 Show of Shows in Louisville, Kentucky.

The French 1935A is identified as the superior shooter compared to the 1935S, primarily due to its more predictable trigger release and tighter groups. Both pistols chamber the 7.65mm French Long cartridge, which is noted as being more potent than 9x18 Makarov. The 1935A's historical significance is highlighted as the ancestor of the SIG 210, with some examples bearing German occupation markings.
