Q LLC HB55610INPISTOL Honey Badger 5.56 NATO 30+1 10" Threaded Barrel, M-LOK Handguard, Aluminum Receiver, Tan SB Tactical Brace
The Q Honey Badger 5.56 NATO pistol is a compact, purpose-built AR pistol designed for shooters who demand portability without sacrificing firepower. Built on a free-floating 6061 aluminum M-LOK handguard and hard-coat anodized 7075 aluminum receivers, this 5.56 NATO platform delivers the familiar controls and ergonomics of an AR rifle in a highly maneuverable package. The 10-inch threaded barrel (1/5 twist) accepts standard muzzle devices, while the SB Tactical brace provides a stable platform for one-handed or two-handed shooting. Whether you're running drills at the range, building a truck gun, or setting up a tactical home-defense solution, the Honey Badger offers genuine combat-proven design in a legal, accessible form factor.
Keeping total weight to 4 lbs 9 oz—remarkably light for a 5.56 NATO platform—the Honey Badger excels in confined spaces, vehicles, and scenarios where speed matters more than barrel length. The 2-position collapsible PDW stock adjusts overall length from 21.7 to 26.3 inches, letting you dial in the fit you need. An adjustable low-profile gas block gives you control over reliability and recoil tuning, while the 2-stage trigger provides a crisp break for accurate follow-up shots. The 30+1 round capacity taps standard STANAG magazines, so you won't reinvent your logistics on the fly.
This isn't a range toy or a compromise build. Q's engineering focuses on what works: AR controls you already know, a mission-first layout with M-LOK attachment points, and a flat-top receiver that accepts optics without adapters. The tan anodized finish meshes with most modern setups and wears well. If you're after a 5.56 NATO pistol that actually functions as intended—not just a novelty—the Honey Badger delivers.
