Shooting the SAINT pistol was a pleasure. The SAINT’s blast diverter does a good job of keeping noise and blast from the short barrel away from the shooter it also offers a real distraction to an attacker in front of the muzzle. The barrel is shorter and the arm brace is slightly different, but the SAINT doesn’t require much transition, if any.

Charging handle, magazine release, bolt release, safety/selector operations, and takedown will all be the same. RMR, Bobro BUIS, and two additional PMGs-that’s the extent of add-ons to get the SAINT combat-ready.įor anyone familiar with the AR15, operating the SAINT pistol will be easy. The latter can be carried loaded in the SAINT even when it’s in its case. I added an additional 30-round PMAG for carry in the external mag pocket and an additional 20-round PMAG.

Note also the folded Lowrider front BUIS. The blast diverter not only looks “tactical,” but based on observing from the side when the SAINT was fired, it would likely have a psychological impact on anyone in front of it! The SAINT’s handguard is light and comfortable note the forward hand stop to safely keep the hand from going too far forward. Fabricated of steel, the diverter should hold up to a lot of shooting and also not prove fragile if it’s bumped exiting a vehicle during a debus-under-fire drill. That puts it almost 2.5' from the inside edge of the hand stop, thus lessening the chances of the support hand straying in front of the muzzle. The diverter protrudes about 1.25' from the handguard. One of the most interesting features of the SAINT pistol is the blast diverter, which is designed to route muzzle blast away from the shooter forward. The Bobro Lowrider BUIS may be used through the RMR. Its mission is to stay easily accessed in close quarters and to be extremely handy. As for the M-LOK slots, I really don’t want to clutter up this compact little firearm with illuminators or pointers. I find that I rest the handguard on my support palm about two inches behind the stop, but with any short-barreled two-hand weapon, the stop is important for safety.

It’s M-LOK Aluminum Free Float with SA locking tabs and forward hand stop. I like the handguard a lot for its slimness and sold feel. The buffer assembly, important in a short-barreled weapon of this type, uses a carbine “H” (Heavy) Tungsten Buffer. Trigger guard and pistol grip are Bravo Company. The trigger is proprietary SA Nickel Boron Coated GI type. By incorporating the ACCU-Tite Tension System, fit of upper to lower is improved. Upper and lower receivers are forged Type III Hard Coat Anodized 7075 T6 Aluminum. Melonited as well is the bolt-carrier group, which is also Magnetic Particle Tested. Based on a couple of Melonited S&W autos I’ve used for years, the process is definitely wear-resistant. This barrel is fabricated of 416R stainless steel and is Melonite treated to be harder and more accurate than chromed barrels. The 7.5-inch barrel has a 1:7 twist to maximize the SS109/M855 62-grain load. The forearm brace is the SB Tactical SBX-K, one of the better arm braces available. The pistol with arm brace ﬁts in the compact case and is held in place by two Velcro straps. It comes in a soft case with two external 30-round magazine pouches. The SAINT fits snugly in its compact carryingcase with a 20-roundPMAG in place two30-round PMAGs maybe carried in externalpockets on the case.įirst impressions of the SAINT were positive as well. That decision was relatively easy, as I have always found Springﬁeld Armory pistols and riﬂes of good quality and the company’s customer service excellent. Having decided to acquire an AR pistol with arm brace, I looked at what was available and settled on the Springﬁeld Armory SAINT AR-15 pistol. The Springfield Armory arm brace used on the SAINT is among the best Thompson has tried. Due to their shorter overall length, they also allowed better use of the wheel well or engine compartment for cover. They were faster to deploy within a vehicle and allowed quicker vehicle debus. That changed, though, when I used a couple of AR pistols with arm braces to practice vehicle counter-ambush drills. I shot a couple belonging to friends and conceded that they were handy, but I had multiple M4 carbines and didn’t really see any need to add another 5.56x45mm AR-type. I was tardy in appreciating AR-based pistols with arm braces.
