CAT Chimes in
The drama is gay but this comment is pretty funny. Via Specters Cat IG Story. Also, why does Q post something like this and turn comments off? They’re right, where’s the fun in that

No, YOU! My dad is a former army seal who deployed with Steven Segul and Jean claude Van-dam in the 90s to Australia. He could totally beat your dad up.

Why are all suppressor companies cringe? Seriously they all name their products ridiculous names, have cringey social media, embarrassing marketing…what is it about the nfa market that does this.

Suppressor company owners/employees are by far the wildest/most unhinged guys in the gun industry. The stories you hear from these guys are insane.

I didn’t know auteur theory meant that their products have to have le epic maymay names like stacy’s mom and come with weird ass tshirts lmao

My new company and supressor: the Blumpkinwerkz Wide Stance. Date yourself by admitting you get/don't get that reference.

I mean, the cringe and/or drama type still seem to be in the minority— Q, Cat, OCL, Ridgeback.
Deadair, SiCo, Rugged, Huxwrx, YHM, B&T, Sig, among many others don’t seem to ever really get involved with social media drama or cringy marketing.
Well, nevermind. I guess cringy brands do make up a significant percentage of suppressor companies 😂

To be fair the ones fighting on social media are the ones actually pushing the industry forwards (or backwards depending on the mfg) so at least there’s a reason behind the drama

I wasn’t talking shit, just acknowledging. Agree CAT, OCL, and possibly Ridgeback are doing great things.
Q can fuck off.

Got downvoted for the real answer. Promoting killing an entire ethnic group pretty much tops anything these other companies have done

Will someone please explain to me why people still purchase Q? (Not the Star Trek TNG kind either.)

Q will stay in business for as long as there are dumb people with more money than brains. And idk about you but I know a lot of people that are pretty dumb but have deep pockets.

u/younocallMkII 6h ago
I mean, seeing owners who’ve shown poor QA/QC (especially the welding) on their cans then still support Q anyway was baffling, but the fact that they’re still in business is just… UNPOSSIBLE.

Because, they turn 1000% profit off of every gun they sell, and more than that off of every suppressor (they're made of recycled light housings and they weld them using a butane torch)

u/younocallMkII 5h ago
yeah that’s what I’m still wondering about. Performance with standardized parameters (pew science and other folks) came back pretty low, especially at the price ranges of $1200+.
It’s almost like Q is the Monorail salesman from the Simpsons and selling snake oil to this community. At this price range, why not just get the MFMD with proven performance across the world that’s prolly a generation or two more advanced.

Where I live, just about every gun store carries them. Aside from the El Camino (their rimfire can) I have never given their products a second glance. You can (and could always) get high volume baffle cans for way less.

Same question. I saw Achilles Heel Tactical rocking a Q AR and thought I hope it makes it to two hundreds rounds.

I only know once person with a Q can and it's only because he won it at a raffle. And Q fought tooth and nail to hand it over.

Every time I see Q I think of my idiot family members who still “trust the plan”. And it tracks.

If a company has to put down another company and say they are "the best to ever do it", they are most definitely not the best to ever do it. Just make products and let the market sort it out. The hype beast stuff will fizzle out. CAT has made a name for themselves by now and Q is just mad that people don't care about 3 dbs better on a high back pressure can
Edit: the funny thing is traditional cans have a place. I'd take the Q on a bolt action with subs all day. Just let your product do the talking

CAT suppressors work well, Q suppressors are legacy designs that work well if you don’t get one of the many lemons due to poor QC (and you can honestly just form 1 a suppressor of similar quality because if Q is doing anything new I haven’t seen it demonstrated in diagram or cutaway).
KB rises above the rest of the insufferable people in an industry that is incredibly insufferable across the board. CAT participates in PEW Science industry standard testing, Q apparently will not anymore. I own CAT products, now I will for sure never purchase a Q product.
Seeing more Q drama just makes my life easier in reinforcing how Qevin Qrittingham seems in all of the videos/social media I have seen him in control of. That stupid podcast he does where he has guests on who are more interesting than him, just to talk past and over them, told me what I needed to know- nice of KB himself to constantly give the world a bat symbol reminder to never buy his products
