Need some CP opinion, looking at the DDM4 PDW in 300 blackout. I really like the subsonic/suppressed combo for home defense. I also like the ability to penetrate and still have the velocity to do work. Should I be looking at another caliber?

I considered the same, but the cost of 300 BLK ammunition even before current events has kept me from delving into a seventh ammo type. Once you get your gun set up the way you want it, you're close to $3.5K to $4K or so. And now you gotta buy what-- at least a 1000-2000 rounds at .70 cents/round? Having said that-- I still toy with the idea of buying a 300 BO upper and suppressing it to slay pigs. If money isn't a concern, then by all means I think your logic is sound. |

I've been seeing a lot more ammo showing up in Walmart and Cabelas. Seems like things are starting to rebound some around here.

That's great, but just remember the history of these things. At some point, there will be something that's' going to happen, that will drive prices through the roof again. The bottom line, if the ammo you are looking for is available and it's at a reasonable price, buy in bulk.

That's the way it's been the last several times it's happened. Hopefully we don't see a bunch of shooting incidents, douche bags running their yaps about banning anything that goes bang, or both. If we can stay away from those two things, prices will come down, once supply builds back up, and these guys need to dump product because they are overstocked. It's been a consistent pattern.

Spoiler!
Plus the multiple attempts to ban pistol braces despite explicitly approving them. I’m worried frankly. |

Rare Breed Trigger
Is now considered a machine gun. ATF will be going through all credit card purchases, shipping addresses ect.

Not that I'm surprised they're doing it, but I don't see how it isn't considered a new pull for every shot. I don't own one and have never used one, but I was under the impression it was physically impossible to even pull the trigger until the bolt is locked.

Technically that's true. It's definitely 1 pull 1 shot. The Rare Breed Trigger is basically a bump fire trigger. Still just one pull one shot. But the spring forces an instant reset of the trigger and with the recoil, it can just shoot very quickly while still being one pull one shot. The reaction is just that fast. I hadn't heard they were banned or anything, just really hard to find.
