Default The wait is over

Just picked up my Springfield Armory Saint Pistol in 223/556, with the 7.5 barrel yesterday and I'm very impressed with the fit and finish of this little gem after taking it apart. It has their proprietary "Accu Tension System" in it to keep it as tight as a turtle's butt and removes any and all slop between the upper and lower. It doesn't have the normal flash suppressor/hider, but a "forward flash director" that is very successful at driving the flame forward when fired without any blowback or debris to the shooter or anybody standing on either side of them (according to the videos). I went ahead and replaced the fixed arm brace with the SB PDW collapsible one as soon as I got home. Heading to the range ASAP and will give a range report afterwards. Been doing some research on "binary" triggers, and albeit pricy, pretty darn fun and thinking about going ahead and getting one before the BATF reverses their decision on their legality, it's about the closest thing to full auto you can get without the real McCoy. Does anybody here have any experience with the binary trigger, besides burning up a lot of ammo for no reason?

Thank's MCorps (we have two sons serving in the Marine Corps presently, thank you for your service) I'm extremely impressed with this little gem and after doing a lot of research, I'm going ahead with the Echo Trigger install before BATF reverses their ruling on it and can't wait to get it to the range.

Can't wait to get it to the range, really excited about putting a Fostech Echo trigger in it.
