Springfield Saint 5.56Mm AR15 Pistol With 9.6 Inch Barrel, M-Lok Rail And Blade Stock

Built for compact maneuverability without compromising on the ballistic performance of the 5.56mm NATO round, the Springfield Saint 5.56mm AR15 pistol with 9.6 inch barrel, M-Lok rail and blade stock delivers a purpose-driven platform for shooters who demand reliability in a short-barreled package. Springfield Armory has engineered this pistol to function across a wide range of ammunition types, making it a versatile choice for home defense, truck gun applications, and range training. Every component, from the pinned gas block to the nitride-treated barrel, is selected to ensure consistent cycling and durability under repeated use.

Overview

The Springfield Saint AR15 pistol bridges the gap between a full-size rifle and a traditional handgun. Its 9.6-inch barrel keeps the overall length compact while maintaining sufficient velocity for 5.56mm defensive loads. The free-float M-Lok handguard provides multiple attachment points for lights, lasers, or grips without adding unnecessary bulk. Equipped with a stabilizing blade-style brace, this pistol allows for improved control during rapid fire without requiring a National Firearms Act (NFA) tax stamp when used as originally configured. The Springfield Saint 5.56mm AR15 pistol with 9.6 inch barrel, M-Lok rail and blade stock ships with one 30-round magazine and a soft case.

Features & Specs

Springfield Armory builds the Saint line to mil-spec standards with quality control checks at every assembly station. Below are the key specifications and design elements of this model:

• Barrel & Gas System: 9.6-inch chrome-moly vanadium barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, Melonite finish, and a low-profile gas block pinned to the barrel. The pistol-length gas system cycles reliably with both 55-grain and 62-grain ammunition.
• Handguard & Controls: 7-inch free-float M-Lok aluminum rail with a continuous top Picatinny rail. Ambidextrous safety selector, BCM Gunfighter charging handle, and a nickel-boron coated flat trigger with a crisp 4.5-6.5 lb pull weight.
• Brace & Lower Receiver: SB Tactical SBA3 blade-style stabilizing brace with a carbine buffer tube. Forged 7075 T6 aluminum lower receiver with an integral trigger guard and flared magazine well for faster reloads.

The upper and lower receivers are hard-coat anodized to Mil-Spec Type III Class 2 standards. The bolt carrier group is shot-peened and high-pressure tested, with a Carpenter 158 steel bolt. Total weight is 5.8 pounds empty, and overall length measures 26.5 inches with the brace fully collapsed.

Who It’s For

This pistol is designed for the shooter who needs a highly mobile platform that still delivers rifle-caliber terminal performance. It is an appropriate choice for homeowners who want a compact defensive firearm that is easier to maneuver through doorways and hallways than a 16-inch carbine. Law enforcement professionals and security personnel operating in confined spaces will appreciate the balance between power and portability. Competitive shooters in pistol-caliber carbine divisions or outlaw matches may also find the Springfield Saint 5.56mm AR15 pistol with 9.6 inch barrel, M-Lok rail and blade stock to be a reliable competition tool. It is not intended for long-range precision work, but for engagements inside 200 yards, this platform performs with consistent accuracy.

• Home defense with reduced overall length for tight spaces
• Vehicle or backpack carry where a full rifle is impractical
• Training and skill development with a lightweight, low-recoil AR platform
