Umark air rifle scope review
The 7.5-inch barrel has a 1:7 twist to maximize the SS109/M855 62-grain load. The forearm brace is the SB Tactical SBX-K, one of the better arm braces available. The pistol with arm brace fits in the compact case and is held in place by two Velcro straps. It comes in a soft case with two external 30-round magazine pouches. The SAINT fits snugly in its compact carryingcase with a 20-roundPMAG in place two30-round PMAGs maybe carried in externalpockets on the case.įirst impressions of the SAINT were positive as well. That decision was relatively easy, as I have always found Springfield Armory pistols and rifles of good quality and the company’s customer service excellent.
Having decided to acquire an AR pistol with arm brace, I looked at what was available and settled on the Springfield Armory SAINT AR-15 pistol. The Springfield Armory arm brace used on the SAINT is among the best Thompson has tried. Due to their shorter overall length, they also allowed better use of the wheel well or engine compartment for cover. They were faster to deploy within a vehicle and allowed quicker vehicle debus. That changed, though, when I used a couple of AR pistols with arm braces to practice vehicle counter-ambush drills.
I shot a couple belonging to friends and conceded that they were handy, but I had multiple M4 carbines and didn’t really see any need to add another 5.56x45mm AR-type. I was tardy in appreciating AR-based pistols with arm braces.
