The one in this article attaches to the Q Cherry Bomb brake. If you can’t get a suppressor, you may want to check out something like a flash can that threads on over a muzzle brake. You’ll basically be getting performance akin to a 7.62x39mm AK…minus just a bit.ĭepending on the ammo you buy, you can get low-flash powders. Something like a 110-125gr bullet should still be over 2000 FPS from this length and that’s plenty for medium game in a pinch as well should it be legal in your jurisdiction. Supersonic is really the only way to go here and from an 10.5” barrel you’ll be getting plenty of power and energy. The Whistle Tip redirects radial blast away from the shooter. 45 ACP loads out there which, in at in-home distances, would be just as good. And at that rate you’re really looking at something clumsy and not even as powerful as some. I’ve never seen an AR cycle using subsonic ammo unsuppressed. A 10.5” 5.56mm like the Brownells BRN 180S is compact and effective.Īs far as supersonic ammo goes from a 10.5” barrel unsuppressed, that’s really your only choice if you want your pistol to work. I don’t have industrial grade decibel meters, but I’ve shot shorty guns like this in these types of spaces and I don’t think you’ll really notice much of a difference because it will suck either way. Guns are loud, and they will destroy your hearing in indoor situations. When I function check a firing pin using a primed case it makes my ears ring and that’s just a primer. Jeff, let me tell you from firsthand experience that there is a reason people wear muffs in a shoot house. The second point Jeff made was about blast in a confined space. A bare muzzle brake like this Q Cherry Bomb is loud, but allows great control. The 300 firing supersonic will have a little more recoil, but not by much. At inside-the-house distances, it isn’t going to matter much.
The 5.56 and 300 BLK from this barrel length will be equally effective at point blank, and since I’m assuming the same platform would be used for either, the overall length and ergonomics won’t change either. A 10.5” 300 BLK is indeed more powerful than a 5.56 from the same barrel length, however for home defense I don’t really see there being too much of a practical difference. Looking at the self-defense angle for Jeff, we are again looking at a matter of perspective. Left to Right: Lehigh Defense 78gr HVCQ, SIG 120gr HT, Lehigh Defense 111gr MSFT It’s insanely popular with hog hunters across the country and most of these guys treat the rifle and supersonic loads as a sort of medium range ranch rifle. Others have embraced the 16” 300 BLK as a hunting platform and really only shoot supersonic loads with it. The Q Honey Badger seen in this article is certainly in the NFA camp, as it’s a super-compact weapon that is at its best suppressed. I have noticed that, over time, there has been a distinct separation in these end uses with some companies going so far as to specialize in one or the other. The former makes heavy use of the cartridge for its subsonic capabilities and the latter for its real and functional use as an outdoorsman’s AR round. Today we have a couple schools of thought with the 300 BLK, divided into NFA and Non-NFA camps. That’s a long time and as as things have progressed with the AR and suppressor market, so has development and popularity of the 300 BLK round. In the years since it was first introduced and became popular, it has since taken on a much larger evolution, but so much of the lore around the caliber is from a decade ago. Suppressors and the 300 BLK are tight, but not inseparable. Even an 8” barrel can benefit from magnified optics like the ACOG I know, I know, moving isn’t easy these days and he probably has an established life there. Getting straight to the point, it sucks that Jeff is in Delaware when places like Texas and New Hampshire exist. Thank you very much for your time and responses. Secondly, is the sound from using this caliber pistol in a confined space greater than 5.56×45, and should I strictly use supersonic 300 AAC if my pistol is unsuppressed.
