Overview

Springfield Armory designed the Saint Victor PDW to deliver reliable semi-automatic operation in a package that fits within the pistol classification. The 5.56 NATO chambering provides the same ballistic performance as a full-length rifle, while the 7.5-inch barrel and Maxim SCW brace keep the overall footprint compact. The included Maxim SCW brace features a proprietary buffer system that allows the brace to collapse to a significantly shorter length than traditional carbine buffers. This firearm ships with one 30-round magazine, a padded soft case, and a user-adjustable brace system.
