Featuring an adjustable Trinity Force Breach Brace, Springfield Armory’s latest SAINT pistol installment has hit the market.

Billed as being “Maximum Performance, Minimal Price,” the 5.56 NATO chambered pistol from the Illinois-based gun maker uses a 9.6-inch chrome moly vanadium while the adjustable brace “provides enhanced stability and meets ATF requirements for pistol classification,” as noted by SA.

The new 5.56 SAINT pistol has a nickel boron coated trigger, 9.6-inch CMV barrel, railed BCM handguard with an integrated hand stop, and a pinned Picatinny gas block. Also, note the A-2 flash hider.

Other features include a forged 7075 T6 upper and lower receiver, as well as a shot-peened and magnetic particle inspected M16 bolt carrier group machined from Carpenter 158 steel. The gun sports a BCM Gunfighter PMCR two-piece handguard with M-LOK-attachment points and a BCM Mod. 3 pistol grip. The upper is optics ready while the steel gas block is topped with a Pic rail.

Weight is 5.5-pounds unloaded while the pistol runs measures 25.75 to 28.25 inches long due to the adjustable nature of the brace.

MSRP is set at $849 and the pistol comes standard with a single 30-round Magpul Gen M3.
