Springfield Armory was quick to respond to the current trend, striking while the iron was hot by introducing its first Saint pistol back in 2017. Most of the manufacturers that I’ve spoken to confirm that their AR-pistol variants have become among the fastest-moving product segments in their catalogs during recent years-and in some cases it’s by a rather wide margin. Today, most AR makers offer at least one large-format pistol option and many have entire pistol lines, and at a time when the AR market as a whole is struggling, consumers continue to snatch these pint-size models up in large quantities. Generally speaking, the AR platform has continued to shrink in size since basically the original conception of the AR-10, and that trend has accelerated sharply during the past five years or so. 223 Rem.-chambered Edge pistols, Rifleman reached out to Springfield immediately following their unveiling at SHOT Show 2020 to request a test sample of each.

Heck, even the M1A’s most recent new model is the relatively abridged 16"-barreled Tanker. It’s almost as if owner and CEO Dennis Reese walked into a Springfield Armory product strategy meeting at some point in 2018 and decreed, “I want you to make everything smaller!”-because much of the company’s design focus since right about that time has been on compactification. More information on this pistols and other AR-pattern guns in the Springfield Armory Saint line is available at sense a pattern beginning to emerge. These features work together to make a pistol that takes down for extremely compact storage, making a perfect security for when disaster strikes.
