To extend it, just give the brace a vigorous yank.
One thing I would like to point out that seemingly even many owners of the Maxim Defense SCW and larger CQB braces and stocks don’t seem to know is that you only have to use the button to collapse it. Due to its short stock, the PDW features a modified bolt carrier group, buffer and spring. Bought separately, the SCW (with this H3 buffer) retails for $590.

To install (or remove for cleaning), you have to pop out both pins on the lower receiver and then slide the upper receiver back and forth. The SCW assembly isn’t just a short buffer tube it includes a shortened, proprietary bolt carrier group (BCG), and the buffer and spring protrude into the upper receiver when the bolt is closed. This five-position brace was specifically designed for PDW-sized guns and only hangs 4 inches off the back of the receiver when fully collapsed. like the CQG pistol grip, which has a more vertical angle than the standard AR grip.Īt the rear of the receiver, you’ll see the Maxim Defense SCW brace. Springfield incorporates some nice accessories from Reptilia Corp. On a full-size rifle or carbine, I think the relieved magazine well of the Saint Edge looks a bit small, but on this build it looks just right.

With the Saint Edge series of ARs, you get nicely sculpted lower receivers machined from billet aluminum. The included Leapers’ low-profile sights maintain the compact theme of the PDW. The pistol is supplied with flip-up front and rear sights that sit relatively tall when folded and don’t take up much rail space. The handguard does not have a rail on the top except for a very short section near the muzzle. Springfield provides a hand stop to keep fingers behind the muzzle. I found myself hooking my index finger around the front of it while shooting as opposed to actually using it as a hand stop. Springfield provides a hand stop to keep your fingers from straying in front of the muzzle, but it is somewhat reduced in size. The aluminum hanguard is 6 inches long and has M-LOK attachment slots. There is longer rifling in the barrel of the handgun currently on my hip than there is in this PDW. For a firearm chambered in a rifle caliber, that is shockingly short, especially when you consider the first 2.26 inches or so is the chamber.
While chambered in 5.56 NATO, the Springfield Armory Saint Edge PDW has but a 5.5-inch barrel. While many people often think of AR pistols as just short-barreled carbines, in this case, the pistol appellation is quite apt.

What is it? For a full answer to that, we’re going to have to explore exactly what a PDW is, but before I do that, let’s look at the specs of this gun. However, I ended up loving it for what it is. When I saw it, I wanted to hate it, specifically for what it isn’t. I’m sure some of the attention it will initially get will be negative from people who feel the same way. Their latest addition is the Saint Edge PDW AR pistol, and I’m sure it will get its large slice of the AR pie.Īt first glance, I thought the PDW was ridiculous in both appearance and performance. However, with a folding brace attached to the lower receiver, now we have the potential for a truly compact AR takedown design.For a company many people thought was years late to the AR party, Springfield Armory has done an amazing job in seizing a substantial percentage of the AR-15 marketplace, and they’re not slowing down. With what looks to be a sub-10-inch barrel (again, full details later in 2020), the overall length will be short. True enough, the AR design brilliantly already breaks down into two pretty compact halves between the upper and lower receiver groups.īut the Edge EVAC potentially gets smaller than most. The takedown concept is clearly nothing new, however, it seems most often the concept is applied to rimfires and even lever guns more often than AR-style arms. We can’t even begin to articulate how excited we are over this product. A Law Tactical Gen 3-M folder adapter also helps enable extremely compact lengths when folded and taken down.

While full information won’t be available until the official spring launch, we did learn it utilizes a Gear Head Works Tailhook MOD 1 sidefolding brace. The SAINT Edge EVAC includes a patent-pending ratchet barrel takedown system. In case you’re wondering what the other two offerings are, they are the Springfield SAINT Edge PDW and Springfield SAINT Victor Pistol in.
