Springfield Armory has released the Saint Victor .300 BLK 9.5” Pistol. Designed to deliver purpose-driven features in a lightweight, rugged package, the SAINT Victor .300 BLK 9.5” pistol combines the portability of a pistol with the familiar handling characteristics of the AR-15, along with the established capabilities of the .300 BLK cartridge.
Ensuring maximum durability, the .300 BLK pistol is built on the solid foundation of forged 7075-T6 upper and lower receivers with a Type III hardcoat anodized finish. This results in exceptional strength without incurring additional weight penalties. Internally, an Accu-Tite Tension System eliminates the play sometimes found between upper and lower receivers.
Internally, the .300 BLK pistol features an enhanced bolt-carrier group with a bolt crafted from 9310 carpenter steel and HP/MPI tested for structural integrity. A nitride finish provides corrosion resistance, and a sleek, low-friction surface that improves wear resistance.
The pistol’s flat-faced, nickel boron-coated trigger offers a smooth, responsive pull for confident shot control. Up front, the freefloat handguard features a full-length top rail and plentiful M-Lok attachment points, ready for lights, lasers and other accessories.
The .300 BLK pistol features a 9.5-inch barrel with a 1:7-inch twist and is constructed from 4150 chrome-moly vanadium (CMV) ordnance-grade steel. It features a continuous tapered profile for optimal heat distribution and rigidity. The barrel has a nitride-black finish and a ⅝x24 tpi threaded muzzle, topped off with a four-prong flash hider.
The Radian Raptor-LT charging handle—machined from 7075 aluminum and over-molded with high-strength fiberglass reinforced polymer—gives the Victor ambidextrous functionality. Combined with the 45-degree, ambidextrous safety, and the Saint Victor pistol is easy to run with either hand.
Mounted on the pistol’s receiver extension is an SB Tactical SBA3 adjustable stabilizing brace with a minimalist design and ambidextrous QD sling socket. With a total of seven integrated QD cups and spring-loaded aluminum flip-up sights included, the Victor has everything you need right out of the box. MSRP is $1,249.
“The recently updated and enhanced SAINT Victor line of rifles and pistols offers shooters a broad selection of AR-pattern firearms for a wide variety of roles,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “With this newest .300 BLK pistol variant, shooters have access to an entirely new and unique option with this highly capable cartridge.”
