Springfield Armory just expanded its SAINT Victor lineup with the launch of the new SAINT Victor 8.5” 9mm Pistol. This AR-pattern pistol packs 9mm power into a compact package designed for reliability and solid performance.
The pistol features forged 7075 T6 aluminum upper and lower receivers, both dedicated to 9mm. It runs a direct blowback system, so shooters can expect rugged simplicity without gas system complexities.
The 8.5-inch Melonite-treated barrel aims to squeeze out strong ballistic performance from the 9mm chambering while staying maneuverable.
At the muzzle sits Springfield’s SA Muzzle Drum, tucked neatly under the free-floating handguard. The handguard itself comes with M-Lok slots for accessories and an included M-Lok handstop. There’s also a QD mount at the receiver end plate for sling options.
Feeding the pistol is a 32-round Colt-pattern magazine. Other notable features include an adjustable SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace, B5 Systems polymer trigger guard, B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip, and a 45-degree, short-throw ambidextrous safety.
Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s VP of Marketing, called it an “appealing new addition” that combines compact dimensions with solid 9mm performance, whether for defense or fun range days.
The SAINT Victor 8.5” 9mm Pistol hits the market at an MSRP of $1,099.
