The Springfield Armory SAINT is a series of AR-15 style semi-automatic firearms manufactured by Springfield Armory, Inc. Introduced in November 2016, the series includes rifles, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and pistols.

1:8-inch The barrel on the Victor rifle measures 16.1 inches. Inside the chrome moly vanadium (CMV) barrel is a 1:8-inch twist rate.

Accuracy is really quite good. Using a Troy “HK style” fixed front sight and a Colt detachable A2 carry handle in the back my best five round group came in at exactly three quarters of an inch. A couple of flyers aside it was fairly common to get three of my five shots within a span of just a half inch.

Springfield Armory Inc. engineers, manufactures and assembles their legendary M1A™, 1911, 911 and SAINT® AR-15 lines of firearms in Geneseo, Illinois.

This began what was to become the greatest production effort in the armory's history: during the entire production history of the M1 rifle, the Springfield Armory produced over 4.5 million of them.

Geneseo, Illinois Springfield Armory, Inc., is an American commercial firearms manufacturer and importer based in Geneseo, Illinois. Founded in 1974 by Bob Reese and family, the company produces rifles such as the M1A and imports handguns such as the XD series and Hellcat.

For example, a 1:8 twist rate means a slug will complete a spin once every 8 inches as it travels through a barrel. If you have a 16-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, the bullet will complete a spin twice before exiting the muzzle.

What is the best barrel twist rate? The best barrel twist rate depends on what type of bullet you are shooting. A fast twist rate such as a 1:7” twist barrel will work better with long-range modern bullets where as a shorter twist such as 1:10” or 1:11” twist barrel will work better with shorter bullets.

100 yards This rifle is a fine all-around defensive rifle, a great hunting rifle for medium-sized game, and fine recreational shooter. The Springfield SAINT Victor is supplied with iron sights, but these sights, well good examples of the type, limit accuracy past 100 yards.

Glock 19. "The Glock 19 is one of the most accurate and reliable handguns available.” The Glock 19 is likely the most popular 9mm handgun of all time - and with good reason. The 19 pioneered the compact size category, but it still comes standard with 15-round mags (it can also accept 17 to 33-round mags).
