Springfield Armory has just announced a pistol version of the SAINT Victor 9mm AR.
Springfield Armory added a 9mm to its SAINT Victor line of ARs a couple of years back in the form of a carbine, but the company is now releasing a pistol variant as well. The SAINT Victor 9mm Pistol features the same dedicated 9mm upper and lower receivers as the carbine version but now with a shorter barrel and a pistol brace.
As you can imagine, most aspects of the SAINT Victor 9mm Pistol are the same as its bigger brother. That includes its rugged direct-blowback operating system, use of 32-round Colt-pattern magazines and nickel boron-coated flat trigger. Both SAINT Victors also have the same B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grips, ambidextrous safeties, similar M-LOK handguards and SA Muzzle Drums. Naturally, the biggest difference is the new pistol variant features a 5.5-inch barrel and an adjustable SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace on the three-position receiver extension instead of a buttstock. The only other differences between the pistol and the carbine are that the carbine comes with flip-up iron sights while the pistol doesn’t and that the pistol ships with a handstop.
Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory., said this about the new 9mm:
The new SAINT Victor Pistol in 9mm adds yet another layer of capability to the SAINT Victor line … Offering the durability and performance of a direct blowback system, this new 9mm would make a great addition to any shooter’s firearms collection.
MSRP for the SAINT Victor 9mm Pistol is $1,099 and it ships with a padded rifle case.
