Q Honey Badger 5.56 NATO 9.69" 30rd Braced Pistol

The original Honey Badger came out of AAC, where Kevin Brittingham's team built it for a special operations unit that wanted to replace suppressed MP5s with something that fired a rifle round quietly. It never reached the commercial market. Q, Brittingham's company, brought it back and reworked the gas system, trigger and stock. This version is the Honey Badger pistol chambered in 5.56 NATO, with a 9.69" barrel threaded 1/2-28 at the muzzle.

The receivers are clear hard coat anodized aluminum, with a free floating 9" M-LOK handguard up front. An adjustable low profile gas block lets you tune it for suppressed or unsuppressed shooting, which is the whole point of a Badger. Controls are standard AR with a 70 degree safety selector and a 2 stage trigger. A telescoping pistol brace keeps the overall package compact enough for a vehicle or a backpack. It comes with a 30 round magazine. Buyers who want a short, quiet, light 5.56 that handles like a rifle will find it here.
