Not having to worry about shirt hiking up or imprinting is a huge benefit. Other than that, I don't see the need for open carry.

I could carry my 44mag and just pistol whip the fuck out of people
Probably the most common and logical use of OC.

I like it that if I'm CC and it accidentally shows I'm still good. I don't want to advertise but sometimes it just happens.
Been spending a little time working on subsonic loads. All loads shot through my .300 Blackout 8.5" barrel w/ pistol gas system. Suppressor is an aluminum monocore; total length is 8". Considering other load data and no sonic crack I am pretty sure I am under 1050 fps. If the sun ever comes back out I will get them ran over a chronograph.
First - 208gr AMax on 10.5gr of Reloader 7 w/ small rifle primer Note - failed to cycle properly; will go back to 11gr of Reloader 7

Then - 230gr Lee Cast bullet on 10.5gr of Reloader 7 w/ small rifle primer Note - cycled decently; will continue to refine.

Disclaimer - yes, all required stamps for SBR and suppressor have been acquired.

So far it is stupid fun. I finally got the sun to work with me to let me chrono a couple loads.
The 230gr Cast Bullets with 11gr of Reloader 7 were clocked at 901fps and 998 fps. Not sure why the dispersion so I'll have to bump it up and see if it tightens up as the case fill nears full.
The 208gr AMax bullets with 10.7gr of Reloader 7 were clocked at 916 and 899 fps. I still have some room to come up to 1000 fps so I probably will come up to 11.3gr of Reloader 7 for now.

Yeah, I can't say that I am super thrilled. I personally, and with responsible individuals, think it is a fine idea. We are going to have too many yahoos fucking it up for everyone though. That being said, I am going to get my chl so I can carry my hog leg

Waiting for the pics....
Hoping it arrives sooner than later!
No, it held up just fine. But the threads got kindof jacked up when I decided to pound in the freeze plugs from the end that was threaded on the inside instead of the end that was threaded on the outside. Even though that's what most people end up doing, I wouldn't recommend it.
The new tube arrived yesterday. It is a 9.6" titanium tube that has internal threading on both ends identical to a mag-lite. So most of my other parts are compatible. With the end cap and thread adapter installed OAL is right at 10"... which is good because that's what I put on my Form 1
Here are all the thread adapters I have now. I won't know for certain until I use them all with the new tube, but initially I like the Preppers Discount adapters better than SD Tactical because they have more thread engagement with the muzzle. (right to left: SD Tactical Low Profile Aluminum .30, Preppers Discount .30 recessed, Preppers Discount .22 standard)
And to make all the new equipment worth it, I'll be loading some of these bad boys to be subsonic!

Have a link to the Prepper's Discount stuff? That tube looks bad ass.
