![]() Unfortunately, no ambidextrous controls on the Saint, unless you go for one of the upgraded models. But, they work as they should and I don’t have any complaints about their functionality. I know the changes are easy to make, but it would have been nice to have ambidextrous controls from the start. ![]() I’m a right-handed shooter, but I still feel that every rifle should be ambidextrous. I’ve had a lot of good things so far to say about the Saint, but the controls are where my main complaint stem from. The nickel boron coated trigger really stands out since the rest of the rifle is black. For a stock trigger, this one definitely suffices. ![]() Right around six pounds is where most people find the trigger pull to be, which without a trigger gauge at the moment, at least feels pretty spot on. It’s super smooth and has a nice crisp reset. Springfield went with a nickel boron-coated single-stage trigger on this rifle. This specific PMAG is one of my favorite polymer mags on the market, so I was glad to see one when I opened the bag. Well, you can add another to your collection if you buy a Saint, because it comes with a 30-round Gen M3 PMAG. If you already have an AR, you probably have a ton of Magpul PMAGs. The BCMGUNFIGHTER Mod 3 grip has a cap to securely store things like batteries or a couple extra rounds inside. If there was one thing I’d change about it, I’d probably make it a little bit wider since I have large hands, but that’s a personal preference. It has great texturing, a hinged trap door for storage inside the grip, and a reduced angle for better ergonomics. It’s another piece of furniture from, you guessed it, Bravo Company. That’s just a personal preference though. The stock is one thing I would consider swapping out, purely due to aesthetics. I don’t find it to be the best-looking stock out there, but it’s definitely better than the standard. It has a snag-free design to avoid getting caught on your gear while maintaining the must-haves like QD mounting holes. I can’t speak to the longevity yet, but it definitely feels sturdy and durable. The stock is also made by Bravo Company (BCMGUNFIGHTER Mod 0) and is marketed as the strongest lightweight polymer stock available for mil-spec receivers. Springfield did a great job ensuring these flip-up sights were low-profile and easy to adjust. ![]() The rear flip-up sight has distinct white increment markings so it’s easy to see while you’re adjusting them. You can adjust them for windage and elevation like most other flip-up sights and they are low-profile when folded down.Įven though I’m used to the Magpul flip-ups, the Springfield ones were very easy to get used to and adjust. The Saint isn’t one of those firearms luckily, and happens to be outfitted with Springfield’s spring-loaded flip-up sights. I hate when rifles don’t come with back-up sights. I found the Bravo Company PMCR handguard to be extremely comfortable while shooting. One of my favorite aspects of the handguard is the small hand-stop at the end to stop you from sliding your hand too far forward. It’s relatively lightweight, and has aggressive texturing and multiple M-Lok mounting slots. The handguard is the BCMGUNFIGHTER PMCR (Polymer M-Lok Compatible Rail) from Bravo Company. While I wish it was longer, it was a great choice overall made by Springfield. You won’t find the super basic furniture on the Saint, like you would with some others at this price point. I’ll get into each one of those in more detail later, but it shows that there was a ton of thought put into the rifle, both from a performance and aesthetics perspective. For example, you’ll find Bravo Company Manufacturing furniture, where many ARs at this price point will have the basic A2 pistol grip and the basic six-point adjustable stock. As I mentioned, Springfield did a fantastic job ensuring all of the basic features were covered and then took some a step further.
