Springfield Saint Victor

[lew.45]

I was able to shoot a Saint Victor 5.56 pistol with a 7.5” barrel this weekend. It was a blast and functioned very well. I think that I would like to get one. Does anyone have experience with one? I wonder how the long term reliability is? Is it a good quality product?

In general Springfield makes pretty good products. If it was me, I would want longer than a 7.5" barrel for some more velocity.

Several of the officers on our SWAT team use them. I'm not a fan of the 7.5 inch barrel but otherwise the guns have run well

So I picked one up. I put an Aimpoint pro on it. I was ringing steel plates at 100 yards. It's absolutely a CQB weapon but the fun factor is off the charts. I'm impressed with the fit and finish. If you are looking for an AR pistol I am giving this one high marks so far!

The ballistics out of 7.5" barrels for 5.56 is terrible. I guess if it's a range toy that's one thing but that short a barrel would not be my first choice for a defensive carbine unless it was 300 BLK.

How terrible are they? What is the velocity out of that size barrel? The rounds were hitting steel pretty hard at 100 yards. I’m thinking for close quarters that they are going to be traveling pretty fast. Please advise me with some facts about how bad they are.
