So I had the original Saint and I had so many issues where live rounds would get jammed to the point of me breaking the charging handle and needing to take to gun smith to fix. I got this new Saint free float and my first trip out, SAME FREAKING PROBLEM. I looked up Saint malfunctioning online and found hundreds of reviews with this same problem. I sent it back to Springfield multiple times and they didn't fix it but they told me to ONLY use Federal or Springfield ammo which sucked because I have bulk Armscore and PPU 223 and 556.



Long story short, I've only shot about 100 rounds of Federal and Springfield ammo and haven't had another issue. It does suck because you should be able to use other ammo so if you buy this gun prepare for the fact you may only be able to shoot pricier ammo which is ok, but for some might not be worth it. You can buy a colt AR and shoot and not have a problem.



Great gun, feels good, shoots and looks good, but live rounds getting jammed is dangerous and if you're not used to doing that stuff take the lower off the upper and take it to someone who can get that out.
