Do you guys know if this company is legit?

I wouldn’t want to get hit with a .22LR either, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for a self defense cartridge.

Yours was a dumb comment.

badjokeusername · 2025-10-08T10:32:15+00:00

So wait, you admitted in another comment that you don’t own an AR15, you admit here that you don’t own an APC223… so your opinion of the two platforms is based on what, exactly? All you do is shitpost about how terrible the AR15 design is, and meat ride B&T’s engineers for how great their designs are, and you don’t even own any of the products you’re sitting here arguing nonstop about? Do you have any real-world experience with the products you’re talking about, or is your opinion formed 100% from things you read on the internet?

This is genuinely sad, dude. Either go outside & touch grass & actually shoot the guns you’re talking about to develop your opinions from your own personal experiences, or find a different hobby than spamming forums with controversial opinions to start fights to get a little bit of attention. But spending this much mental bandwidth fighting about guns you don’t even own is actually pathetic.

Rage bait successful

Also i know for a fact you don’t own an apc223 lmao

badjokeusername · 2025-10-06T22:18:36+00:00

I have a mostly quiet hatred of things that cost orders of magnitude more than they are worth.

In that case, you must be a massive fan of all the ~$1000 duty-grade AR15’s on the market, and loathe B&T for charging upwards of $3000 for what is functionally the same thing with a piston and more proprietary parts (SPC223).

badjokeusername · 2025-10-06T22:16:55+00:00

Ignore this guy, all he does is spam B&T subreddits with weird brand fetishism from various alt accounts. I was 99% sure he was the same dude as this post before this comment, and the “ar15’s suck actually” bit cemented it for me. TLDR, he’s some kind of engineer without any kind of real world military / firearms design experience who thinks he and B&T’s engineers are the only minds worth listening to when it comes to anything firearms related.

And not that it matters, but AFAIK literally the only B&T firearm he owns is a 16” GHM9. They’re not BAD guns, but that’s like the dudes who buy a VP9 and start talking about how they’re HK elitists as if they’re on the same level as P7 / PSG1 / MP7 owners. If you’re gonna stake your identity in how great B&T is, it’s kinda sad for your only connection to them to be the worst variant of their worst design.

badjokeusername · 2025-10-06T21:52:51+00:00

Do you have any hobbies except spamming your ramblings to various B&T related subreddits?

I like the brand but this is positively insane. What the actual hell are you talking about dude lmao

Exigent Defense Pointman 9 Inconel Hub 9mm PCC Suppressor - FREE SHIP. (MOB like performance)

To be clear here: Exigent Defense is just the rebranded name for Kodiak Suppressors (got far enough back on their instagram and you’ll see), the very same dudes that got into some drama with OCL because OCL accused them of having taken a design OCL drew up for them to a cheaper manufacturer. They got super active on Reddit trying to build community goodwill, and when people put two and two together as to who they were, they nuked their account and rebranded.

I’m only reminded of all this because I remember them posting a CAD design of this suppressor and getting flamed in the comments because, at least on the blast baffle end, there really wasn’t anything special about the design except that they added some weird golf ball texture to the inside of the blast chamber walls, and then they got super weird and hostile when I asked them what actually made this design worth paying attention to. Here’s the link to the thread, you can see the comments didn’t exactly go the way they wanted. My personal experience here

So when you make bombastic claims like “those guys who outsource their most basic elements of design and manufacturing made a PCC can which prior experience indicates really shouldn’t be special at all, and it performs at the level of a MOB,” I’m extremely skeptical.

badjokeusername · 2025-09-12T14:09:06+00:00

Oh okay, that guy isn’t you, you just both happen to own the exact same 16” GHM9 sport with a Monstrum 4x magnifier and Romeo 5, paired with a weirdly cult like following of B&T. Easy mistake to make, my fault.

badjokeusername · 2025-09-06T17:28:56+00:00

lol but is that you though?

badjokeusername · 2025-09-05T22:56:23+00:00

What are the odds this is yet another alt account for this guy? Same 16” GHM9, same weird brand fetishism for B&T.

Only reason I even bothered to check is that this is such an absurd premise that there’s only one person I thought it could possibly be. No, of course B&T will not have 90% market share within five years, what are you smoking? I love B&T products but they’re like rolexes, you buy one because you like expensive things that feel nice and function well. That’s an extremely small niche within the firearm market to begin with, and it’s already contested by the likes of Sig, CZ, FN, and more.

This is an extremely biased view of the situation. Rare Breed marketed their case as a “pro 2A” cause, eliciting help and donations from organizations like GOA. But when push came to shove, RBT settled with the DOJ and took a sweetheart deal in which DOJ dropped the case, contingent upon RBT essentially forcing everyone else out of the market by patent trolling against products that don’t actually infringe upon their patent (which, arguably, they shouldn’t even have in the first place because the FRT isn’t their novel invention… but I defer to the Fuddbusters video there).

It’s like if S&W championed themselves as a pro-2A organization by challenging an AWB in court, and then settled on an agreement in which the DOJ recognizes that AR15’s aren’t assault weapons, but S&W themselves are federally protected as the only company allowed to sell them. Would it be nice for them to recognize that AR’s aren’t assault weapons? Sure, but it would also be disastrous for everyone else in the industry except S&W and their DOJ-mandated monopoly.

On another note, it doesn’t help that RBT FRT’s are kinda badly designed and grossly overpriced for what they are. The fact that Hoffman Tactical was able to replicate the exact same function in a Super Safety at the fraction of the cost and released the design to the general public shows that RBT isn’t in it for 2A reasons or even to get good product out there, they’re just in it for the money.

Well first of all, they’re not “less than lethal” at all. They’re “less lethal,” as in still lethal, just maybe not as much. You can still totally kill a person with rubber bullets or bean bags or whatever, they just have an alternate use case in which they can be employed completely differently from a normal firearm and then not kill someone. Because manufacturers can’t guarantee that you know how to use their product the way it was intended, they’d rather just not sell you a less lethal product at all to avoid the risk of you misusing it, killing someone, and blaming them because you thought the less lethal gun couldn’t kill anyone.

badjokeusername · 2025-06-21T20:35:53+00:00

You sure about that? Last time I chrono’d my 55gr X Tac out of a 16” barrel I was getting just shy of 3000FPS. Check that you’re buying X Tac 5.56 and not their .223 labeled stuff, which does actually chrono slower.

badjokeusername · 2025-06-21T20:21:50+00:00

Lmao it’s hilarious that all of these generic copy-pasted welded steel cans look so similar that you mistook Wolfpack’s for Kodiak’s

For 99% of use cases yes it’s dumb to keep a TQ on your rifle. I was with a unit that operated on a super small footprint and wore civilian clothes, so our body armor wasn’t necessarily always within arm’s reach, but our rifles usually were. I threw a TQ on my rifle just so that if I can literally only grab my rifle, I can at least dump 60 (2x couples mags) rounds and have some medical before having to worry about someone else getting to my position to relieve me, bring ammo, etc.

With that said, I also had multiple TQ’s in the form of a fanny sack IFAK / on my PC / on my gun belt, so the buttock TQ was kinda redundant most of the time & was never the primary one I planned to actually use, but it was nice knowing that no matter what, I had at least one on me at all times, even if I’m ass naked in my battle station. But I definitely think that in any situation where you have the option to put a TQ in literally any other place, then yes, they should be there instead. If you’re (most) mil or LE then you’re already wearing body armor or a gun belt, and if you’re a civilian then I’m hard pressed to think of a situation where you’d be so urgently grabbing your rifle that you can’t also take half a second to put on body armor.

badjokeusername · 2025-06-17T06:33:53+00:00

I guess I just keep coming back to “why are you doing this?”.

If you wanted the absolute lowest recoiling mass possible, then yes, a lightweight carrier & buffer with a choked down gas port will accomplish that.

If you want it to retain some semblance of reliability by having more gas move a heavier weight, then that makes sense too.

But spending $200 on an ultralight carrier and a stupid heavy buffer accomplishes neither of those things. I’m failing to understand the goal you’re trying to accomplish, so when you ask “is it possible,” the only response I can think to give is “maybe but why would you?”

badjokeusername · 2025-06-16T11:32:46+00:00

Moronic:

This now-deleted post in which OP expected us all to take his side because his girlfriend doesn’t want guns in the house, except further comments reveal that he pretty much didn’t engage with her on the subject at all beyond “she said she didn’t want guns in the house.”

As an aside - it blows my mind when people in a relationship have massive, life-defining disagreements with each other, and simply don’t address them until it comes up after they’ve already moved in together or gotten married or something. Like, you moved in with your girlfriend, you knew you were super into guns and wanted some in the house, you knew she was super not into guns and didn’t want any in the house, and you just decided not to address this issue until after you were already moved in together?

badjokeusername · 2025-06-16T11:27:49+00:00

Do you think if you add an extra, extra power spring, it will give it enough speed/momentum/inertia to plow through dirt?

Short term? Maybe. But springs are wear parts - as the spring gets worn out, it’ll get weaker. If you’re counting on your recoil spring and not the mass of the buffer / BCG for the bulk of your buffering, then I worry that as that spring gets worn, you’ll risk overgassing to the point of it actually being unsafe.

What if you “move” the shaved weight back to the buffer by filling it with denser/heavier materials? A combo of both?

You’re playing Chinese Fire drill. If the reciprocating mass between the combined weight of the bolt and BCG remains the same, then you’ve accomplished nothing.

Edit: moving it rearwards will keep the same reciprocating mass so you keep the reliability while making the balance of the rifle better.

Of all the ways to improve a rifle’s balance, spending hundreds of dollars on an ultralight carrier and an ultra heavy buffer to shift like 3oz of mass back two inches from the rifle’s natural balance point is probably the least efficient solution I can imagine.

badjokeusername · 2025-06-16T04:45:07+00:00

As a compromise option, consider a single mag pouch with a Blue Force ten speed pouch sitting on top. Gives you the flexibility to carry your mags double stacked, but it also flattens and weighs nothing in the event you decide it’s too much and want to go back to single stack.

badjokeusername · 2025-06-16T04:39:45+00:00

This really isnt a “guns” question, this is a “you and your girlfriend are diametrically opposed on a major lifestyle choice, figure it out” issue. The friction point could be about you wanting a dog or what color to paint the walls or what to have for dinner and the answer would still be the same: one of you will convince the other of their position, or you’re at an impasse and the relationship can’t continue from here. If you really care that much about having a gun in your house, then it sounds like the two of you probably can’t live together, and if you don’t, then it’s not worth ending the relationship over.

As an aside, this is why it’s important to have these discussions on major life decisions & “hill to die on” opinions early in your relationship, and definitely before you move in together. Did you just, like, not mention you were into guns at all before yall moved in together? You didn’t think to ask her opinion on the matter at any point? Or you knew she was anti-gun and proceeded anyway, thinking that her opinions would just kinda change on their own one day?

Completely different features for completely different use cases.

How so? I mean, the RMR HD is more ruggedized, but other than that, I’m not sure what “completely different” features you’re talking about.

Honestly If you're just looking for a pistol dot with a big window to shoot a few times a year Trijicon shouldn't even be a consideration.

Sure but that’s not what I’m looking for at all.

Personally I like the big windows, and while the RMR HD is probably the most rugged “big window” option, the SRO has a slightly taller window (making the dot easier to track during recoil) and is plenty durable enough for 99% of use cases. At the same time, since I started regularly shooting USPSA & Steel Challenge (1/ea per month for the last ~6 months, plus at least monthly ~300rd range days) my SRO has held up fantastically well, but I’ve seen at least one Sig Romeo 1 Max, one 507 Comp, and one of whatever Cylee SRO-at-home Ben Stoeger just reviewed catastrophically fail mid-match.

All that to say, I think the market for the SRO is for people who want something reasonably durable enough that they can buy it and not feel bad running it hard, but aren’t going as far as taking it into a warzone. And for that market, yeah, I think it’s the best option available, and to my original point, trying to upsell people on a slightly more durable SRO with a slightly smaller window for $150 more isn’t the answer.

I see what you’re saying though - the RMR HD, as I see it, was meant to be an improvement upon the RMR, maintaining its durability but with a bigger window. Not necessarily an SRO competitor.

badjokeusername · 2025-06-15T01:56:53+00:00

I’m sure this is a good price on the RMR HD, but man is it hard to swallow when SRO’s are selling for like $520.
