.300 blk Rifle vs .300 blk Pistol

The .300 blackout build  kit can come in 1 of 2 varieties The .300 black out rifle and a .300 black out pistol.  Both have their pros and cons, but bring a unique dynamic to the platform.  Here are the differences between a 300 black out rifle and the 300 black out pistol.

The .300 blk cartridge excels with barrel lengths under 10 inches. That is because the .300 blk does a number on most standard gas blocks. However, getting an adjustable gas block is the way most people go when running their builds. Especially when using a suppressor, an adjustable gas block on a .300blk pistol with a 7” barrel will work extremely well. 

The .300 blk is a good mid range caliber. It packs a punch, delivering similar ballistic power as the AK-47s 7.62×39. Where it does not excel is at range. However, what it lacks in range, it makes up for in versatility. 

The .300 blk rifle is good even though it is not optimal for the cartridge. You may be able to squeeze out a few more yards with a longer barrel, but the longevity of the build will suffer because the .300 blk is not designed for those kinds of barrel lengths. A 16” barrel, more of a carbine rifle, will still help to maximize the effective range and ballistic power of the cartridge. However, the round is still optimal at barrel lengths under 10 inches.
