Who It’s For

This springfield saint edge 5.56mm semi-automatic pistol is designed for shooters who demand a compact firearm capable of delivering intermediate cartridge performance without the length of a rifle. It suits experienced firearm owners seeking a reliable truck gun, a home defense weapon with superior penetration and barrier defeat capability, or a training platform for transitioning between pistol and carbine shooting techniques. The adjustable gas system makes it ideal for users who may run a suppressor, and the stabilizing brace allows for one-handed or braced firing positions.

• Includes adjustable brace for improved stability without requiring a tax stamp (pistol configuration)
