The company debuted the direct blowback-action Saint Victor 9mm carbine in late 2022 with a Melonite-coated 16-inch CMV 1:10 twist barrel, ambidextrous safety, nickel-boron-coated flat trigger, and a standard GI-style charging handle. In a departure from the widespread use of Glock double-stack mags for 9mm PCCs, the Victor carbine accepted 32-round Colt SMG stick mags – which are widely available.
Now, for 2025, Springfield is shrinking the platform down to an NFA-compliant pistol format with a 5.5-inch barrel inside a free-floating M-LOK handguard and outfitted with an SB Tactical SB-A3 stabilizing brace on an adjustable three-position receiver extension. Other standard features include a full-length top Picatinny rail, short-throw ambidextrous 45-degree thumb safety, a B5 Systems grip and trigger guard, and a SA muzzle drum on a threaded barrel.
The overall length of the new Springfield Armory Saint Victor 9mm pistol is 20 to 22.5 inches due to the adjustable receiver extension. Note the forward stop. The brace has an ambidextrous QD sling socket. (Photos: Springfield Armory)
The unloaded weight is 5.75 pounds. Note the ambi thumb safety selector – always a nice bonus.
“The new Saint Victor Pistol in 9mm adds yet another layer of capability to the Saint Victor line," said Steve Kramer, VP of Marketing for Springfield Armory. "Offering the durability and performance of a direct blowback system, this new 9mm would make a great addition to any shooter’s firearms collection."
The new Springfield Armory Saint Victor 9mm pistol ships with one 32-round magazine and a branded nylon zipper case for an MSRP of $1,099. By comparison, the full 16-inch Saint Victor 9mm carbine has an ask of $1,299.
