Springfield Armory SAINT Edge 5.56
Rob PincusDescription
When the Springfield Armory SAINT hit the market, people rushed out to buy it because it’s priced so affordably from a quality manufacturer such as Springfield. Then they discovered at the range that it’s a great gun and a great value. But if you’re above entry level, you’ll want to check out the Springfield SAINT Edge. Let’s take a closer look at its features.
Features
The Springfield SAINT Edge is still a great value but it’s a full-featured gun with an M-LOK free-float handguard, Springfield’s pop-up iron sights, three-chamber break up front, relieved mag well, and a lightened receiver.
The Springfield SAINT Edge combines a lightweight, profiled Melonite barrel to a forged upper receiver and custom billet lower receiver. The additional milling to the lower saves ounces.
This is a very light gun that feels comfortable in the hand. Lighter weight often means increased recoil as the trade off. The Springfield SAINT Edge uses the benefits of an H buffer and a proprietary, Springfield-designed muzzle brake to work against this.
Other features include a 90-degree ambidextrous safety and oversized charging handle. The furniture is from Bravo Company Mfg, including an adjustable stock. The unique Springfield Armory proprietary handguard is angled and contoured for a custom, streamlined look.
The top rail is for adding accessories like optics, and with the M-LOK free-float handguard, you have the opportunity to put rail sections wherever you want them, for an angled foregrip, a hand stop, or any side-mounted accessories.
Trigger
The trigger is one of the best for a gun in this price range: a single-stage, match-grade trigger with a short reset. Get out and do some firearms training and practice with the Springfield SAINT Edge and see for yourself.
The Springfield SAINT Edge is another great value but this time a full-featured lightweight value. Applications are numerous: personal and home defense, law enforcement duty use, hunting, and competition shooting.
This is the Saint Edge. Now, when the Saint hit the market last year, it got a lot of fanfare and it came in at a price that a lot of people didn't expect to see from a quality name with a quality gun, like Springfield Armory. Now, Springfield Armory came out with the Saint and it was met with a lot of people running out and buying them, take them to the range and finding out that these guns were a great value. Well, this is the one, if you're above entry level, you might be wanting to get into because it's still a great value but this is a full featured gun with an M-lok free float rail. It comes obviously with the iron pop-up sites, right from Springfield. It's got a great three chamber brake up front. It's got a relieved magwell. And as you can see, this is a lightened receiver. So this is actually a very, very light gun. It feels very comfortable in the hand, it's got an ambidextrous safety, it's got a 90 degree ambidextrous safety. It's got an oversize charging handle, which is, I think one of the options that you must put on any kind of gun that's going to be used for defense or even one that you're going to wanna use for competition. You wanna be able to get a good positive indication on that charging handle and this one is going to allow you to do that. It comes with Bravo Company furniture. You've got an adjustable stock, and you've got a thin very nice straight walled grip. The rail up along the top, obviously is there for any of your optics or other accessories that you want to mount. And of course with this M-lok equipped free flow hand guard, you've got the opportunity to put rail sections anywhere that you might want them for your angled, for a grip, for a hand stop or for any of the side mounted accessories as well. The Saint Edge is another great value at this time a full featured, lightweight value, by the way this one has a great trigger as well. You're gonna wanna check it out. It's absolutely one of the best triggers I've ever felt for a gun in this price range. And it all comes to you from Springfield armory.
