.300 Blackout (also known as .300 AAC Blackout or 7.62x35mm) was initially designed for the M4 carbine for use in special operations, but it's become a common caliber for all AR-platform firearms to be chambered in. .300 Blackout rifles and pistols provide better performance than 5.56 NATO in guns with shorter barrels and silencers. Whether you're looking for a firearm for home defense, hunting, or just something to show off at the range, you can find it in the collection at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

Special ops missions require the best of the best equipment. Neither 5.56 NATO nor 9mm Parabellum provided the performance these sensitive missions needed, which meant a new one needed to be made.
In 2010, production of both .300 Blackout cartridges and firearms began. These rounds provided better subsonic performance than 9mm and better performance in short-barreled firearms with silencers than 5.56 NATO.
While .300 Blackout rifles, pistols, and carbines were quickly adopted by militaries worldwide, they also became incredibly popular in civilian circles. You can find AR-15 rifles and AR-15 pistols chambered in this high-performance caliber. Find the .300 Blackout gun that's right for you at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

.300 Blackout was made for combat, so it's a fantastic caliber for self-defense weapons. It's especially effective in SBRs and rifle-caliber handguns. However, its size and kinetic energy make it a good caliber for hunting medium-sized game, too.
.300 Blackout has much higher recoil than 5.56 NATO, with tests showing it has around 30% more recoil. However, it's intended for SBRs and carbines, weapons of choice for close-quarters combat where recoil doesn't have as detrimental of an effect. The increased recoil is worth the performance improvements.

The AR pistol starts with an upper receiver, a short barrel, and no buttstock, giving shooters a customizable platform that can be tailored to nearly any use case. Add a pistol brace for stability, or mount an optic on the Picatinny rail for a better aiming point. You can also swap in a longer barrel for increased velocity and reliable cycling downrange. Chambered in rifle caliber cartridges like 5.56 NATO, the AR pistol delivers the firepower of a long gun in a significantly more compact package.
Shooters who prefer a more traditional rifle setup with a full range of accessories can explore our complete selection of AR-15 Rifles.

AR pistols built on the AR platform are known for reliability when paired with quality ammunition and proper maintenance. The caliber selection available, from 5.56 NATO to pistol caliber options, gives shooters flexibility depending on their intended use, and most modern ARP rifles cycle consistently across a wide range of ammunition.
An AR pistol and a short-barrel rifle are two distinct classifications under federal law in the United States. A short-barrel rifle requires additional NFA paperwork and a tax stamp. An AR pistol does not, as long as it was manufactured and configured as a pistol.
Carrying an AR pistol in public depends on state law and whether you hold a valid carry license. Some states permit open or concealed carry of AR pistols with the appropriate license, while others have specific restrictions. Always verify your local state laws before carrying any firearm.
All firearms must ship to a licensed FFL dealer in accordance with federal law. Once a required background check is complete, you can pick up your firearm at your local FFL dealer. Use our FFL Lookup tool to find a licensed dealer near you.
