The Q Honey Badger, Noveske Ghetto Blaster, and the SBS Briefcase Build Walk Into a Bar
In 2011, AAC announced a very short barreled rifle prototype called the Honey Badger. Chambered in .300 Blackout with a 6″ barrel, collapsing stock, and special bolt carrier group, the Honey Badger was meant to be an extremely compact carbine that could easily switch back and forth between supersonic and subsonic due to its suppressor […]
What Do I Wear? Choosing an EDC Bag
YouTube channel viewer PerfectTangent asked What informs your decision to carry a given bag with a given weapon on a given day? Situation? Taste? This article will address why I choose the bags / tools to carry at any given time. This is not an article about what I look for in a bag (see this […]
I’m Thinking About Going Back
Back to the AK, that is. I started my first two SBR projects about five years ago. One was my now failed Glock enclosure project, and the other was a Mini Draco AK47 SBR. I carried the Mini Draco for some time before opting for my AR15 pistol in .300 Blackout. The primary driver for […]
Loaded Magazine Weight Comparison
There are many decision factors where selecting a weapon for everyday carry. In the case of a bag-carried support weapon, weight, size, concealment, ease of deployment, steps to deployment, caliber, and expected contact distances are all important factors. In some cases, you may give up caliber and barrel length to lessen weight and increase concealment. The […]
QSI Close Quarters Handgun Ground Shooting Drill Malfunction

Informal Study of 300 Blackout Projectiles and Drywall
Most of our readers engage in defensive training. Their handguns, PDW and rifles are meant for protecting themselves or someone else. A common concern is what happens if we miss. An advanced concern is what happens if we have to shoot through a barrier. The folks over at Terminal Effect did an informal study on […]
Riding Shotgun
Depending on where you live, you can keep a loaded SBR, PDW, or rifle caliber pistol within easy reach inside of a normal, everyday bag. One of the many benefits of carrying a pistol version of a rifle caliber weapon is that most states have different laws about carrying a loaded pistol vs a rifle […]
Crimping My Style
For me, 2014 was the Year of the Blackout. In an effort to reduce weight I gave the AR15 platform a chance. My experiment succeeded, and my AR15 pistol is my EDC. However, short barrels aren’t great for 5.56 and so that led me to .300 Blackout. In summary, I learned a lot this year […]
Season One With a 300 Blackout AR15
I purchased my first AK-pattern rifle in 1998. I built my first AR15 in 2013. I didn’t do much training with rifles until 2010, but even then I had a lot of catching up to do with AR pattern firearms. This season I trained almost exclusively with my .300 Blackout AR15 pistol, except for one class I […]
Winter Wonderland. Not Really.
Last weekend we had the opportunity to do a small, invite-only winter training sessions with QSI Training. It had been cold and snowy leading up to the weekend, and by the time we got to the range it had started snowing again. With temperatures never hitting about 16F and about two inches of snowfall during […]
