Author: | Publish Date: Apr 12, 2025 | Fact checked by: Marko Lalovic

Springfield Armory has expanded its popular SAINT Victor lineup with the introduction of a new 5.56mm pistol variant. This compact firearm combines the hard-hitting performance of the 5.56mm cartridge with a highly maneuverable platform designed for close-quarters effectiveness.

The new SAINT Victor Pistol features an 11.5" chrome moly vanadium (CMV) barrel, providing an excellent balance between portability and ballistic performance. The barrel comes topped with a traditional birdcage-style flash suppressor to mitigate muzzle flash and help manage recoil. Users will appreciate the full-length Picatinny rail along the top, offering ample space for optics and accessories.

Reliability is ensured through the carbine-length direct gas impingement system, while shooters will notice improved trigger control thanks to the nickel boron-coated flat trigger. The free-float handguard incorporates M-Lok slots for mounting accessories, with an M-Lok handstop included on the forward lower section for enhanced control and safety. A quick-detach (QD) mount on the receiver end plate provides convenient sling attachment options.

The pistol comes outfitted with an SB Tactical SBA3 stabilizing brace mounted on a three-position receiver extension, significantly enhancing shooting stability. Additional premium components include a B5 Systems polymer trigger guard, B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip, and a short-throw 45-degree ambidextrous safety selector for intuitive operation regardless of shooting hand.

Springfield includes flip-up sights and one 30-round Magpul PMAG Gen M3 magazine with each pistol.

"The new SAINT Victor Pistol in 5.56mm adds yet another layer of capability to the SAINT Victor line," according to Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. "Offering compact handling combined with the ballistic performance capabilities of its 11.5" barrel, this new SAINT is built for performance in tight spaces."

With an MSRP of $1,150, the new SAINT Victor Pistol delivers 5.56mm performance in a versatile and compact AR-pattern package that maintains the quality and reliability Springfield Armory customers have come to expect.
