Springfield Armory Saint Victor 9mm Pistol

Springfield Armory is releasing the new Saint Victor Pistol, the newest addition to the Victor line of AR-pattern firearms. This AR-pattern pistol is chambered in 9mm and is designed to deliver the performance and capability you have come to expect from the Saint Victor line. The pistol has forged 7075 T6 aluminum dedicated 9mm upper and lower receivers and uses a reliable direct blowback system of operation. The Saint Victor Pistol also has a compact Melonite-coated 5.5-inch-long barrel and at the muzzle, there is the SA Muzzle Drum that is recessed under the pistol’s free-floated handguard. The handguard features M-Lok slots for accessories, an M-Lok handstop is included on the lower forward section of the handguard and there is a QD mount on the receiver end plate.

The pistol feeds from the included Colt-pattern, 32-round magazine and rounding out the package is an adjustable SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace on the three-position receiver extension. There is also a B5 Systems polymer trigger guard, a B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip and a 45-degree, short-throw ambidextrous safety.

“The new Saint Victor Pistol in 9mm adds yet another layer of capability to the Saint Victor line,” said Steve Kramer, vice president of marketing for Springfield Armory. “Offering the durability and performance of a direct blowback system, this new 9mm would make a great addition to any shooter’s firearms collection.”
