More punch per pound, the Springfield .308 SAINT Victor Pistol is a heavy hitter in a small package.
How The .308 SAINT Victor Pistol Punches Up In Weight:
- Forged upper and lower receivers
- Accu-Tite tension system
- Nickel-boron coated flat trigger
- 10.5-inch CMV barrel
- SB Tactical SBA3 brace
- 11-inch M-Lok compatible handguard
- Factory-install forward blast diverter
If you’re looking to rattle the fillings of the guy three lanes down from you at the range, Springfield Armory has you in spades. With the release of its 10.5-inch barreled .308 SAINT Victor Pistol, the gunmaker has conjured up a heater equal parts bark and bite.
Indeed, flinging .30-caliber from an AR pistol doesn’t quite have a set application. Springfield bills it as a “purpose-built” defensive arm; there’s no arguing it would set any idiot with ill-intent on his duff in a hurry. Though given the .308’s more than ample penetration potential, the SAINT Victor Pistol might not be your go-to home-defense choice. Unless you happen to run AR550 plate behind your drywall. That said, the pistol certainly seems to have the chops to fill the role as the proverbial “truck gun”, one that’s squared away for any work shy of neutralizing a grizzly in one shot. Not that you need to let absolute practically stand in the way of any gun purchase.
As to the finer points of the .308 SAINT Victor Pistol, if you’re familiar with the line it doesn’t throw many curveballs: forged upper and lower receivers, Accu-Tite tension system, heavy tungsten buffer and nickel-boron coated flat trigger. Covering the chrome-moly-vanadium barrel is an 11-inch free-floated handguard with ample M-Lok real estate and a hand stop at the front 6 o’clock. The fairly ubiquitous SB Tactical SBA3 graces the rear and up front, mercifully, Springfield has included a forward blast diverter. Nice on any AR pistol, this seems a necessity on one chambered .308.
As to price, the .308 SAINT Victor Pistol runs a bit more than most of the line with an MSRP of $1,363. A small outlay for more hitting power and felt recoil.
