I dont actually have a punch line for the above classic setup.
But it is the feeling I get when I pick up the all-new Springfield SAINT Edge pistol.
A big reason for my as-to-date lack of excitement about AR pistols has been that they feel like toys.
The Springfield Armory SAINT Edge pistol, however, has hewn my apathy exactly like the sword of Alexander.
Call me one of the converted.
It retains all the things we loved about the SAINT Edge rifle.
The receiver has the same distinctive lightening cuts and mag well profile.
As a bonus, it has the same excellent trigger as its rifle brother, a rarity for pistols.
The forend is extremely similar to the Edge Rifle, with a few extra tricks up its sleeve.
There is no rail on top of the pistol forend, sans a one-inch section at the muzzle end.
This cuts some minor weight of unnecessary rail.
And it was a good place to cut railing off.
it’s possible for you to remove it if you like, but I dont recommend it.
Muzzled Down
The one feature really different from the Edge carbine is the muzzle machine.
I feel this was done with good reason.
The SAINT Edge rifle muzzle brake would be beyond obnoxious on the pistols 10.3-inch barrel for starters.
Every suppressor brand has its own QD muzzle gear, and some of us roll direct thread anyway.
Out of the box, the birdcage works fine, and Im not looking to replace mine anytime soon.
Springfield Armory chose to utilize the Maxim Defense CQB Brace.
The brace alone is reason enough to choose this as your pistol.
Compact Passenger
The Maxim offers an almost unbelievably small package.
It is near magic they made this pistol run with such a small buffer tube, but they did.
Ready to rock and roll.
Ready to have some fun.
It has all the benefits of an SBR, with the paperwork of a pistol.
Springfield Armory has batted one out the park with this model.
I suggest you get yours while the getting is good!
kindly ensure you are up-to-date on all current laws.
