Picked this up today. This week should be recieving more Lancer mags, some 110gr Barnes, Modlite, T2 and a pair of Vertx bags to see which works better.

My Vertx Gamut Checkpoint arrived yesterday. My 11.5” Law folder AR pistol fits but it’s a tight fit with very little wiggle room. The gun currently wears a YHM muzzle brake for compatibility with the Turbo K I’m waiting to be approved for. I was planning to swap the muzzle brake for a Q Cherry Bomb which would allow for two configurations. I would be able to use the gun suppressed with a Plan B mounted on my suppressor (range and home defense use) or with a Whistle Tip to act as a blast mitigation device when it wouldn’t be feasible to suppress it (when it might be deployed from the bag, for example). With the Checkpoint, I don’t think there’s any way the gun would fit with the Whistle Tip mounted because of the extra length. I really don’t want to shoot an unsuppressed 11.5” 5.56 gun wearing a muzzle brake without ear pro on and was hoping something like the Whistle Tip would at least direct a portion of the muzzle blast away from me. That doesn’t look like an option now.
I guess I could carry the suppressor in the bag with the gun. That would at least give me the option to mount the suppressor on the gun if there was time. The scenarios I envision using a bag-gun generally allow for a little more time to get the gun out than the scenarios in which my normal on-body-concealed handgun would be the appropriate tool for. If I need a gun RIGHT THIS MOMENT OR I’M GOING TO DIE, it’s a CCW handgun situation, not the bag-gun situation. For anyone else running a short 5.56 gun, are you doing anything to mitigate the blast/noise of you had to deploy it? If so, what?

Really digging this light setup so far, although I may switch the mounting over to a Unity micro hub to get a front sight on. Real estate is pretty limited and I can't get a folding front on with the light where I want it. Ordered a couple Vertx backpacks to figure out which will work for my needs. The gun fits both but is a tight fit in the Gamut 2.0.
Why not just run the front sight a bit further back? Yeah, you lose sight radius, but let's be real, how often are you really gonna be using the BUIS, and is a few inches of lost sight radius really going to make a difference?Originally Posted by Up1911Fan

MLok Hot button works really well on that part of the rail, too. And gives a constant-on option

Only a old retired person living in Idaho such as myself could have read so much of this thread. I currently use 9mm 8" CMMG RDB upperson an ADM lowers for both casual USPSA competition and HD. The HD wears an Omega 9K suppressor. These are handy and my buffer setup (A5 buffer tube with Kynshot buffer will run all 9mm ammo combinations with and without the suppressor with minimal recoil and should perform similarly with 300BLK. I am looking at 300BLK as a truck/RV gun and a pistol configuration, possibly with folder, is interesting. I have room in both truck and small RV for the SBR configuration, but then I'm into Form 20's and such. Anyway, lots of options and the info is much appreciated. I'm going to pick up the 300BLK upper in the next couple of days and I'll see how it functions on the SBR lower if I can find any ammo.
Looks like Magpul will finally be making the folding 9mm PDW they demoed 10+ years ago.
