Gonna sell my PX4 GSD, this thing fucking sucks. This pistol has been out for over 10 years or something and the side of the grip is a textureless void for no reason, ZERO magwell beveling, worse height-over-bore than my m9a4, and it doesn't even take m9 magazines.

What the fuck is the point of this failed abortion of a gun? LTT charges through the nose for doing everything possible to make it suck less but to what end? The 92 series handguns are already good BEFORE all the upgrades you can do to them, and there's more aftermarket than just LTT.

I wish it was a good gun because I think the rotating barrel is cool, do I just need to buy a Grand Power?

Sounds similar to my experience with the Nano.

I am looking to have a subsonic platform to use that's not a 9mm. Purely for defensive use. I don't want to fire off a 5.56 or .308 inside of my house. I'll probably end up getting the DDM4 because that's two people who said stay away from Q.

Q guns are pretty fucking sick and are extremely lightweight for what they do compared to anything on the market. Serious engineering and impressive materials, but really not worth it to most people and for most things. The Fix is probably the best hunting rifle you can get as far as weight and design.
I'd say their stuff is most comparable to something like a $100 titanium fork meant for backpacking. Q is definitely for people wearing 3K in outdoor clothing who drive Subarus and crush $10 IPAs. More or less fashion accessories for posers.

For a home defense gun with a can I wouldn't worry about supersonic vs subsonic. Within like 30 feet you can't hear a supersonic crack ime and you're leaving a lot of performance on the table by sticking with subs. Even with a good can 300 will give me a headache after like 10 rounds outdoors and indoors it's definitely not hearing safe. 5.56 isn't hearing safe either but indoors they should be close enough to not really matter.
Boring but best option is a 10.5 5.56 with 75gn soft points, expanding copper, or whatever other suitable ammo.
If you want your gun to be a few inches shorter than that then 300 is still good but realistically I don't think you'd find those few inches to make a difference.

I have a handful of guns in 300blk for the cool factor but my house gun and vehicle gun are both 5.56 because it's good and boring and simple.

This is uglier than that guys gator skin holster.

Their marketing is lame too. The gun equivalent of a BBQ place that serves you three slices of brisket on a 1/4 tray while saying proudly "We do things a little differently here." or 3AM Chili if you were alive for that

Yeah that sounds crazy, using a 10.5" indoors. I have one in 5.56 already and you bother people five lanes down from you at an outdoor range. If I don't pick up a DDM4, I will probably stick with my subsonic 9mm handgun.

Lmao. No.

Q will tell you it is though. Q is mostly a sham that occasionally stumbles is way to a good product like the Honey Badger on accident.
Click to expand...
The Honey Badger is the least impressive but it's still pretty cool when you take one apart with it's pretty interesting and innovative with the buffer system contained in the BCG using tungsten beads like the MP7.
The Fix is pretty much the minimum amount of metal you can use to make a pretty legit hunting rifle with better ergonomics than others.
The Boombox is pretty cool and probably took the most work to make work. It's comparable to the Ruger SFAR with how compact the receiver set is but it seems to actually work well and takes advantage of serious materials to have a smaller bolt handle a .308 bolt face.
I'm not saying the guns are great value because they're definitely not, but there's really nothing like them and what tries to be like them is way less cool, weighs a lot more, and came around after them often times.

Q is a pretty new company and the Honey Badger is like 2X older than that. Kevin was involved with the previous company AAC and took over that gun although he wasn't at all involved with development afaik. The new one is different than the old one and has some newer additions with it.

Tomato tomato, no need to make that guy feel like a fag for no reason lol. The Fix looks kinda cool to me but it's less so about the looks and more about the capability. A 6 pound 16in 6.5 Creedmoor is pretty legit if you gotta carry it a while. The SBRs are even better with the .300 being less than a 4 and a half pounds.
That still comes to $800 a pound though which is kinda fucked for mostly aluminum.

Marketing yeah bro they really suck but some of their actual products are sick. If their shit was half the price and they weren't so cringe I'd probably have all their guns.

I thought the whole point of you wanting something in .300 was sound and that you'd be using a can. You're right that a 10.5 5.56 is loud as shit but with a can it's generally the same or quieter than .22 from a pistol depending on what can you get. If you're not running a can then 9 from a PCC is the move but having shot that indoors it's still really fucking loud and will ring your dome

I'm running a Glock full size with a big can right now and 147gr Fed subsonics. Indoors it's better than nothing.

maybe, but it feels like dog shit in the hand and is picky with magazines and its a modern Remington 700 which always feels not nice when turning the bolt. the rail is wasted space that no one seriously uses and it's a push round feed. it's 2026, all bolt guns should be controlled round feed at this point. we have the tech to do it cheaply now. their automatics are much more compelling. I'd never have a fix.

The guy I met who had one let me put some rounds through it and it felt fine and cycling one at a gun shop last year was also nothing notably good or bad.
Maybe it's different to own one but in my short experience it seemed good.

That’s not really true. There’s companies making titanium actions based on the Rem700 platform along with carbon fiber barrels and stocks.

I mean like the SBR ones too, you'd really have to go out of your way to put something together like that that's as compact and slim. Building shit off a 100 year old design has it's limitations and at some point you're just forcing things together.
I don't know if these actions do it but I've personally experienced titanium's love of galling have heard that's a thing with the lugs on titanium actions. You may or may not shoot one enough to come across that but it sucks to have a 1.5K part that eats itself.

That's fine if you feel fine with it but as you probably know 9 doesn't kill or disable as well as rifle calibers.
What's your need for subsonics though? If you're able, do a Cokeman and shoot into some books or a sand bucket indoors and see how loud even a suppressed subsonic is. Suppressed rifle cartridges are gonna be louder than suppressed 9 but even a whole magazine is probably less damaging to you than a round of unsuppressed 9.

How good or bad it feels probably depends on the magazine and how many rounds are loaded into it, it uses a semi-auto mag pattern which have stiffer springs so a full mag is going to feel like shit, but one with only a handful of rounds will feel a lot better, and of course with no mag there's no resistance so it probably feels pretty good. I've seen people talk about trimming springs or saving worn out ones for bolt rifles that take stanag mags because they're a lot easier to use, I wouldn't be surprised if there are aftermarket ones as well as common as bolt rifles that take stanag mags are getting
 
What is the most gorgeous manual rifle action in your opinion? To me it's the Winchester 1892. The way the lever is not directly attached to the receiver but instead the bolt and lugs makes me believe John Browning was a true savant.

It makes sense when you see a Winchester 1885. He essentially made his single shot falling block design into a repeater. The way the lever interacts with the locking blocks is the same between the 1885 and 1886 and 92

Wish I could find a similar animation of the 1885, but I concede the locking mechanism is similar enough to count as a predecessor.

I am aware that 1886 is practically an identical action, but I favor the 1892 for its improvements, like having access to the pin that connects the lever to the bolt directly from the side of the receiver, instead of having to drag the bolt out of the frame first to access the pin.
 
The second batch of Holosun EPS Core optics is on the shelves. I picked a couple up for my wife's Equalizer and will put the other on another pistol but I'm not sure which. I really wish I could replace the EPS Carry on my CSX-E with it but I'd lose the rear sight notch and I'm not thrilled with that prospect. That said so far I really do like what I see with the EPS Core, it's a noticeably bigger window than the Carry and the light sensor is more responsive. I think this is going to be the killer enclosed optic for subcompact pistols because it's better overall than the Carry so far.

I do love me some Winchester lever rifles. Big fan of the Winchester 1886/ Model 71, the 1873, and the 1895. Although I think the best looking lever action rifle is actually the Colt-Burgess 1883 and the Winchester 1895 Musket/military. The Russians actually used the 1895 military model in 7.62x54mmR to offset shortages in Mosin-Nagant M1891s. There were also a few military style M1895s in .30-03 and .30-06, but they're rare birds and go for bookoo bucks. I'd love to have one.
