Overview

The springfield armory model 2020 heatseeker .308 pistol is engineered for those who require the stopping power of a full-powered rifle cartridge in a maneuverable, pistol-sized frame. This semi-automatic platform utilizes a gas-operated system to manage the significant recoil of the .308 Win round, ensuring rapid follow-up shots and consistent cycling.

Whether for home defense, backcountry protection, or range performance, this firearm offers a unique blend of ballistic performance and ergonomic handling.

Features & Specs

• Caliber and System: Chambered in .308 Winchester, the Heatseeker employs a short-stroke gas piston system that reduces fouling and enhances reliability. The barrel is cold hammer-forged and features a 1:10 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing a wide range of .308 bullet weights.
• Chassis and Ergonomics: The receiver is machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum, with an integrated full-length Picatinny top rail for mounting optics. The grip features a textured polymer frame with interchangeable backstraps to accommodate different hand sizes. The ambidextrous safety selector and bolt release cater to both left- and right-handed operators.
• Recoil Management: A dual-spring recoil assembly and a proprietary muzzle brake are standard, reducing felt recoil by an estimated 40% compared to a standard .308 pistol configuration. The buffer tube accepts standard AR-style stocks or braces, allowing for customization based on legal configurations.
