The modern suppressed pistol for close-quarters work and specialty civilian use needs to combine compact size, quick handling, and reliable suppression compatibility. For shooters who want a purpose-built, tactically minded .300 Blackout pistol that improves on a proven special-operations platform, this model delivers those qualities in a refined, user-focused package.

Q HONEY BADGER is the civilian reproduction of the original developed for elite special operations units and updated across the board. Offered as a pistol chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, it includes a flared magwell for faster reloads, a closed trigger guard on the lower receiver for increased frame strength, and an ambidextrous 75-degree safety that’s easy to manipulate under stress. The pistol also features an adjustable gas block to switch quickly between subsonic and supersonic ammunition, plus Q’s Cherry Bomb muzzle device designed to mount their Trash Panda and THUNDER CHICKEN suppressors.

Design and Controls

The Honey Badger platform brings practical upgrades over its forebear. The flared magwell trims precious fractions of a second from reloads, while the closed trigger guard reinforces the lower for a stiffer, more durable frame. The ambidextrous 75-degree safety is deliberate — short-throw for rapid deployment yet positive enough to avoid accidental manipulation. Controls are arranged to favor fast, repeatable operation in both hands.

Suppressor-Ready Features

The adjustable gas block is central to the pistol’s versatility. Switching between subsonic and supersonic ammo is straightforward and keeps gas impulse manageable when running a can. The Cherry Bomb muzzle device is specifically designed to accept Q’s Trash Panda and THUNDER CHICKEN suppressors, creating a clean, factory-minded interface for suppressed shooting.

Caliber and Performance

Chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, this pistol benefits from the cartridge’s ability to deliver effective suppressed performance with heavy subsonic bullets while retaining supersonic options for longer-range or barrier-penetration needs. The included 30-round magazine supports extended drills and reduces reload cadence during training or defensive scenarios.

For buyers who prioritize a ready-to-run suppressed solution, the Honey Badger’s combination of gas adjustability and threaded muzzle compatibility makes it one of the most adaptable .300 Blackout pistols on the market. The pistol is listed at $3100.99 and is positioned for users who want a feature-rich, mission-capable package. View product details and pricing
