Springfield Armory has recently added a PCC model to its AR lineup in the form of the SAINT Victor 9mm Carbine.
Springfield Armory's SAINT Victor series of ARs have been popular enough for the company to expand the lineup to other form factors and calibers. So far this has included scaled-up models such as .308 rifles, .308 pistols and the precision-oriented SAINT Edge ATC. The newest firearm to join the family, however, was scaled down to a PCC instead. It's called the SAINT Victor 9mm Carbine.
The SAINT Victor 9mm Carbine features a dedicated 9mm upper and lower receiver, both made from forged 7075 T6 aluminum. It operates using a direct blowback system for simplicity and reliability, and the system feeds from Colt-pattern 32-round stick magazines. The 16-inch barrel is Melonite coated and features a Springfield Armory Forward Blast Diverter, and the full-length M-LOK handguard is free-floated. Other features include spring-loaded flip-up iron sights, a six-position collapsible B5 Systems Bravo Stock, a B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip, a B5 Systems trigger guard and an ambidextrous safety.
Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory, said this about the new PCC:
The new SAINT Victor 9mm Carbine adds yet another layer of capability to the SAINT Victor line…Combining the familiar handling characteristics and proven design of an AR with the rugged performance of a direct blowback system, the SAINT Victor in 9mm would make for a great addition to any shooter's firearms collection.
The Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 9mm Carbine is available now and has an MSRP of $1,299.
