The SAINT pistols barrel lengths less than 8, and its fitted with a stabilizing brace.
Who am I to argue?
Now they have taken it one step further with the SAINT Pistol.
Springfield Armory has introduced a full line of SAINT Pistols, like this SAINT Victor 5.56mm.
This opens a whole new facet of handgun shooting for this old dog.
My approach to the SAINT Pistol was to see it as a close-range self-defense pistol.
Lets consider the gun.
Taffin fell for the SAINT Pistol and really liked its handling and performance.
The receiver extension has an SB Tactical SBX-K brace to help stabilize the pistol for accurate shooting.
Overall length is 26.5 with a weight of 5.5 lbs.
The trigger is nickel-boron coated and the trigger guard and the pistol grip are from Bravo Company.
The new. SAINT Pistol has an MSRP of just $849.
The SAINT is exceptionally well made with no looseness or rattling.
It just seems to be solid all the way around.
All of my ammunition previous to this had been reloaded using RCBS standard dies.
This solved all the problems.
The new loads worked perfectly.
Muzzle velocities of most .223 factory ammunition from an 1812 barrel run right at 3,000 fps.
Switching to the short-barreled SAINT Pistol resulted in loads slightly more than 25 percent slower.
For handloads, I chose Hodgdons CFE 223 powder.
CFE stands for Copper Fouling Eraser, as this powder works to reduce copper buildup in the barrel.
My fastest load consists of the Speer 52 HP with 28.0 grains of CFE223 for 2,342 fps.
