The SAINT Edge is packed with features that standard Mil-Spec rifles do not have including: machined billet lower, lower and upper tensioning system, Maxim Defense CQB brace, pinned adjustable gas block, 10.3” lightweight Chrome Moly Vanadium (CMV) barrel, included iron sights, forward hand stop, lightened trigger guard, ambidextrous safety, mid-size charging handle, and a Melonite coated M16 BCG. A couple of these features have other upgrades included in themselves and I want to hit on some of the biggest ones.

First, the lower is not your average Mil-Spec lower that you would buy for a budget build. Made from 7075-T6 billet aluminum, it has a sleek eye-catching design featuring a beveled mag well and many weight reducing cuts throughout. It not only looks good, it feels good too because of the ambidextrous safety, crisp trigger and Springfield Armory’s proprietary Accu-Tite ™ tensioning system which removes all of the play between the upper and lower. The grip is a Bravo Company Mod 3 specifically designed with a lower grip angle for improved trigger control, and an extended forward tang and beavertail which closes the gaps between the lower and grip. It also features a watertight storage space that comes in handy for tax stamps.

The new SAINT Edge pistol is a high-performance weapon and 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.
