Springfield Armory entered the popular AR-15 market in 2016 with its Saint rifle. In the nine years since, this popular part of the company’s catalog has grown to include everything from large-frame AR rifles to innovative compact AR pistols. New for 2025, Springfield is introducing the Saint Victor 9 mm pistol.
Based off of the Saint Victor 9 mm carbine, the Victor Pistol uses a direct blowback action and feeds from Colt-pattern 32-round magazines. Its upper and lower receivers are forged 7075 T6 aluminum with a Type III hardcoat anodized finish and Springfield’s Accu-Tite tension system. A 5.5” chrome-moly vanadium steel barrel has a Melonite coating and its threaded muzzle is capped with Springfield’s muzzle drum blast diverter. It resides within an aluminum free-float handguard that has M-Lok slots and a handstop.
Controls are traditional AR-15, with the exception of a nickel boron-coated flat trigger and bilateral safety selector with a 45-degree throw. B5 Systems provides the polymer trigger guard and their Type 23 P-Grip. Springfield places an SB Tactical SBA3 arm brace on the receiver extension, which has three positions of adjustability. The receiver end plate has a spigot for a quick detachable sling swivel. With an overall length of 20” to 22.5”, depending on the brace position, the pistol weighs 5 lbs., 12 ozs.
Currently the only pistol offering in the Saint lineup, the Victor 9 mm Pistol has an MSRP of $1,099. For more information, see the company’s website.
