To my pleasant surprise, this was not the case. I was actually mentally and physically prepared for a fire-breathing beast that would rattle my fillings right of my mouth. With just the flip-up iron sights it was also pretty accurate for me up to 100 yards with ease. I loaded up the magazine and from about 50 yards out started plinking some 8-inch steel targets. The 20-round Magpul magazine keeps everything very compact all the way around. 223 and 5.56 and headed out to the range. I took it out of the box, threw it in a range bag with about 500 rounds of various Black Hills and HSM. I was so damn excited when the gun arrived that I didn’t waste any time.
I discovered that you have to pop out both pins on the lower receiver and then kind of slide the upper receiver on or off.

However, Springfield took it to the next level with the addition of the Reptilia CQG pistol grip. The PDW falls under the “SAINT Edge” brand, so you get the best of the best. It provides added back pressure for reliable cycling while directing sound and flash forward, away from the shooter. The muzzle device is a huge part of this package. It features a 5.5-inch Melonite-coated barrel with a Maxim Defense Hate Brake mounted to the front. Springfield’s compact pistol chambered in 5.56 is one of the ultimate Personal Defense Weapons I’ve encountered. The last one in the group is the PDW and now it’s here. The other two have already hit the market. Springfield announced a trio of new releases back in January including the PDW, as well as the 5.56mm SAINT Edge EVAC Takedown Pistol and the.
