I’m trying to find the best option for a bufferless pistol in 300 BLK to run suppressed. I like the MCX Rattler, but understand that it has terrible gas blowback unless a flow through suppressor is used. I have two traditional .30 cans and have no intention of buying a third. Does anyone have recommendations for something with a 10” or less barrel that would fit my needs?

I went bolt action.
Any gas system will leave you with breathing issues. |

Honestly, part of my motivation is that the Colorado legislature will be putting up a bill to ban “assault weapons” for the second year in a row, and given the fact that our state has been inundated by commies from California and Illinois I’m afraid it’ll pass. For that reason, I’m focusing on semi-auto options. |

My MCXs aren’t bad in the blowback department when suppressed.
What cans do you have? Frankly, any high backpressure can is going to be gassy on any semi host as most of that blowback is coming down the bore. |

Have you heard of site sponsor Brownells™
Their BRN180s is a nice 300blk suppressor host - bufferless, 2-position adjustable gas, smooth action, relatively light & slim upper @ 10.5" BRN-180s 300blk BRN-180sh 300blk (3-pos gas w/ shutoff for manual cycling) I run mine w/ a YHM Resonator-K and by design there's very little gas to the face or out of the bolt. Wish they'd make a shorter barrel version like the Rattler, but this will do for now  |

Yes, I’ve seen this and am leaning towards a BRN 180 or a Sig MCX Spear LT with a 9” barrel. |

What's your budget? I've been pining over the B&T APC rifles for a while now

I have a 6.75 inch MCX that I run both supressed and unsuppressed I like it a lot. once you "dial in" the ajustable gas (mine came with two plugs, each has two settings) it runs great. I do want something lighter in weight eventually.
Foxtrot Mike has an interesting one they recently released in 300 blk. I have been waiting on reviews to see how it performs in the real world, there were some mixed reviews on the 5.56 version. Then BAM, they showed up at Shot with some impressive concepts for strengthening ARs in general. One of the improvements is the gas tube, so that won't translate, but I will hold off to see if any of it leads to a next gereration. I guess that really doesn't help with wanting to beat the ban. |

Psa JAKL is also an option. Might be cheaper than most other semis that can fold. No personal experience with one yet though.
And regardless of choice don’t discount bolt action even if it’s just for funsies. |

My order of preference from what I own, Sig TACOPS, B&T APC, bolt action followed by the BRN180. The 9” Sig Spear is on my short list and will probably be my next firearm purchase, I haven’t shot a JAKL yet, but I plan on it.

I think Foxtrot Mike has their newest side charger setup out but I don't know anything about them.

My B&T APC300 is stupid quiet with subs. Fast shooting with a S3g in it too. No gas either.
