Editor’s Choice: Springfield Armory Saint Victor 9 mm Carbine

Springfield’s Saint family of AR-pattern rifles and pistols has steadily expanded from one delta ring-equipped SKU in 2016 to a comprehensive line today that encompasses many chamberings, barrel lengths and feature sets—with the mid-tier Victor series, in particular, growing by leaps and bounds and arguably offering the most value.

Now, for the first time ever, Springfield has added a 9 mm Luger-chambered pistol-caliber carbine to its roster of Saints: the blowback-operated Saint Victor 9 mm Carbine.

Built on a matching pair of shortened forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers and feeding from 32-round, Colt-pattern, metal magazines.

The 9 mm Carbine features a 16" Melonite-treated barrel capped with a Forward Blast Diverter muzzle device, a free-floating aluminum handguard, B5 Systems furniture, bilateral safety selectors and a nickel-boron-coated, flat-faced trigger.
