Springfield Saint 5.56Mm Ar15 Pistol With 9.6 Inch Barrel, M-Lok Rail and Blade Stock

If you are in the market for a compact and reliable AR-style pistol, the Springfield Saint 5.56mm AR15 pistol with 9.6 inch barrel, M-Lok rail and blade stock deserves a close look. This is not a full-length rifle, nor is it a typical handgun. It is a purpose-built platform designed for maneuverability in tight spaces while still delivering the ballistic performance of the 5.56mm NATO round. We have spent time behind this pistol at the range, and it handles with a surprising balance of control and aggression. Let us walk you through what makes this particular Springfield Armory offering a solid choice for your next build or purchase.

Overview

The Springfield Saint 5.56mm AR15 pistol with 9.6 inch barrel, M-Lok rail and blade stock is a factory-assembled pistol that bridges the gap between a traditional carbine and a compact PDW. It comes ready to run right out of the box, featuring a free-floating M-Lok handguard, a nickel boron coated bolt carrier group, and an enhanced trigger. The 9.6-inch barrel is optimized for the 5.56mm cartridge, providing good velocity retention without the bulk of a longer barrel. The blade-style pistol stabilizing brace gives you a solid cheek weld without crossing into NFA-regulated territory, making it a legal and practical option for many shooters.

Features & Specs

This pistol is built on Springfield Armory’s reputation for producing reliable, American-made firearms. The 5.56mm chambering means you have access to widely available ammunition, and the 9.6-inch barrel keeps the overall length short enough for easy storage and transport. The M-Lok rail system allows you to attach lights, grips, or lasers without adding unnecessary weight. Here are the key details you need to know:

• Barrel: 9.6 inches, 4140 steel, Melonite finish, 1:7 twist rate for stabilizing heavier bullets.
• Handguard: Free-float M-Lok rail, 7.5 inches long, made from aircraft-grade aluminum.

The Springfield Saint 5.56mm AR15 pistol with 9.6 inch barrel, M-Lok rail and blade stock also includes a low-profile gas block and a flash hider that helps reduce muzzle signature.

Who It’s For

This pistol is ideal for the shooter who wants the power of a rifle round in a package that fits into a backpack or a vehicle safe. It is a great choice for home defense enthusiasts who need something more potent than a 9mm handgun but do not want the length of a 16-inch carbine.
