[@tomi6261]

The Rattler IS absolutely an awesome SBR/PDW, and yes, I do own one. But I also wanted a Canebrake. So, I built a 6.75" version of the Sig using a Wilson Combat Upper/Lower/Bolt, JP Silent Capture Spring, Gieselle Trigger, Maxim Defense Stock, Aero Gen 2 Handguard and Troy Tritium Backup iron sights (The metal ones, not plastic). My Omega 300 suppressor nicely slips half in/Half out of the handguard utilizing a 3 lug mount. The CONS of my build are no adjustable gas block (Which I could install, but do not need it!) and No Right Side Bolt Release (Which I really like!). But, the cost of my build was about $700 less than the Sig (In Oct 2023). My build is also slightly more compact than the Sig, my stock LOP is adjustable, I can utilize all mil-spec AR parts if needed, the weapon feeds/functions 100% with Supers AND Subs and the Sound Suppression is identical between my WC build and my Rattler using the Omega 300. Accuracy is also neck and neck between the two. If you have the bucks, the Sig is definitely Gucci AF. But my $700 less expensive Wilson is pretty much Fire as well!

[@andrewemerson347]

I'll stick with my DDM4 PDW since it compliments my go to rifle DDMV7 AR15. If my ar bolt goes bad I can switch out my PDW bolt to my ar15 and I'm good to go.

Absolutely mind blowing review. I'm sold. Really and quite unexpectedly changed my mind on this gun. Was looking at NUMEROUS other builds but I'm a bit smaller than you are frame wise and I think that THE size of this PDW is actually the correct answer for me. 85K certainly proves the other end of this argument too. The price is up there, but like you stated, the last 25% makes this a no kidding, military to civilian go-to firearm for quality. After two decades in the Military, I wished we had these over what I was given... Thanks for changing my view!

[@niunaixin]

I'm very hesitant nowadays when it comes to Sig products. Their QC has visually and virtually taken a hard nosedive over the years ever since they won the military contract. Purchased an MCX virtus patrol upper and I had to return it because of the machining marks and burrs all over the upper. Compared to my original MCX virtus patrol, only two years apart, the difference in QC was negatively surprising.

[@jacksonnra1856]

Bought a g26 15 years ago. Been through 2 instructors classes and 4 civilian based pistol courses. The slide barely looks like I've drawn it over the years. Finally folded and bought a sig365x as the g26 size was finally getting annoying. One 500 round class and 50 at home draws and the finish is rubbed off showing steel. Don't care but it shows the finish quality/durability.

Have you seen the swat shootout video where 2-3 mcx rifles fail to function? REALLY gives you pause on buying sig products. I just bought a sig romeo 8T and when torqued to specs onto virtus, the clamping claw has flawed machining and caused damage to my upper that required me to replace both the upper and send optic into sig.... IM SO DISENFRANCHISED with sig now....

[@wishuhadmyname]

PSA makes them in .300 BLK with 8.5" barrels. 1913 stock/brace attatchment, 6 position adjustable gas system, monolithic upper, etc. The Jakl might be a little heavier than the Rattler, and to my knowledge hasn't had the same kind of reliability testing. Assuming equivalent reliability, the cost of the Jakl means the buyer has more money for ammo and a silencer

[@dfjr6525]

They make a 7.5” .300. I have one w a law folder and it’s a great piece for a great price. Love to see them do a short short jakl and call it the jaklope

I don't know how much lighter the Rattler LT is, but the original 5.5" Rattler weighs 4lbs and 12oz, that's without a stock though so it goes up from there. Spear LT 9" 300blk is about half a pound heavier at 5lbs and 3oz, without a stock as well.

[@AMG454PRO]

Update, got the Rattler LT, roughly same weight as the original Rattler, 4lbs and around 11.5 to 12oz. I mean there is some weight savings considering it has a longer barrel and handguard, but I'm sure this is more noticeable on the longer Spear LT models vs the Virtus. Also I weighed the original 5.5" Rattler with the Midwest handguard installed, slightly lighter and similar handguard to the LT models, if I remember correctly it weighed 4lbs, 13.5oz with the stock handguard for what it's worth.

[@ghostmourn]

Its the round. It makes sense that the Rattler can fire an absurd amount of rounds becasue the pressure of the 300 round is similar to the X39 and Ak's are famous for ridicules lifespans. And the rattler is probably made to an even higher standard that the AMK imho. (And those numbers are really similar to an AK lifespans I know of. Sometimes 15k rounds on Russian guns with no issues.)

[@ThisHandleIsTaken1]

I still think the Spear LT 9” 300BLK is better - only slightly longer(meaning better rail space), 9” ideal 300blk barrel length, cheaper by $200, better able to add a 11.5” 556 barrel if you want to change calibers without it looking weird with a long barrel/short handguard, has forward assist, and most importantly . . . TACticAl cOYotE tAn!!!

[@DavidBrown-uc4yv]

Ironically, arguably, the better option is the MCX Virtus 300blk SBR 10.3”, with a better gas system, it’s tougher, better trigger. The 5.5” Rattler is 4.8” shorter in the barrel making it a true PDW, but for the size of your thumb base to your finger tip you are giving up a lot; the 300blk likes 9” to 11” with 9” being the best acceptable lower mark. Ballistics evaluation sees a drop in 300blk but not appreciable down to 9”, then we start to see a drop, and an appreciable drop from 9” to 5”, which drives evaluation to conclude the “best minimum for 300blk is 9”. Granted, does a civilian really believe the difference will make a difference in the civilian world? I contend probably not, so it comes down to what you like, doesn’t it? If you are in a vehicle with the PDW under your coat or jacket, suppressed, the Rattler is better because then size matters, but you are also not a civilian; you’re a jump-out-boy. If you have your weapon in a backpack or armory briefcase, as mine is, with a QD suppressor packed along side, then the MCX Virtus 10.3” SBR gives you more options and it can be deployed a mere five seconds slower; its then a “truck gun”, a “bug-out gun”, and you are a civilian. Civilians don’t put their PDW on them get in the car and drive around. By law, they don’t. Just something to keep in mind.

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

I always wanted an overly heavy over priced ballistically challenged PDW 😱 finally the Gen 2 rattler is here! It's a 6lb 6.75" 300bo AR with an undersized stock to try to trim weight haha... You can build a much better gun for half the price. What the military uses doesn't mean it's good, it just means that's who won the contract. And sig customer service for civilians is trash...

[@Googalite]

The Rattler is my third MCX, just got it a couple days ago. Waiting for a Surefire SOCOM SPS 300 suppressor, but I’m gonna take it out for some unsuppressed shooting tomorrow. I expect it to bark like my Krinks with a substantial fireball, but I think the fireball will be less with the Rattler. James is right, the grip sucks, and mine has an Sig brace which isn’t too good, but the trigger is fine. I don’t want something light like a SSA-E, because it’s not that kind of weapon, but I will say that the charging handle is being replaced with a Radian. The safety came incredibly stiff and I lubed the entire pistol trying to loosen it up. Watching TV and running the safety and charging handle a few hundred times has helped, but the safety may get replaced too. The Rattler currently has an EXPS 2 on a Unity riser, but I’ve got a T2 and am thinking of putting it on instead of the EOTECH to save 10 OZ! The Rattler folds to a very small package, but the EOTECH takes some of the fun by adding a lot of weight I don’t want to sling. I’ll have to run the Rattler with both optics before I’ll be able to decide, EOTECH is hands down better for passive night vision however. My MCX LT 11.5” in 5.56 has loosened up nicely, and I really like it, except the brace which will get 0:15 remedied eventually. The Rattler is incredibly cool, and small for the serious power it can unleash. When I get it set up I think the Rattler will be my go to home defense and truck weapon.

Be aware that 300 blackout has a major flaw. You can’t switch from subsonic to SuperSonics without rezeroing your sights. The creator of 300 blackout suggests running two lightweight red dots back to back, or getting an Sig Sauer 9t which costs $5,000. That’s not a typo!

[@terrarecon]

What most people do for extreme ballistics changes is use holdovers

[@scotopicvision]

@@terrarecon Not practical, the poi and poa at 200 yards can be over 5 feet apart from subs to supers

[@gunguru7020]

Is there a cartridge that subs vs supers doesn't require independent zeroes?

[@scotopicvision]

@@gunguru7020 If there is, I have not found it yet. There is a reason SOCOM requested the Sig 9t and why Sig is charging $5,000 a pop for them.

Can this Sig Rattler fire safely from the folded position? That would be a big selling point over AR-15's equipped with LAW folding tactical stocks or similar.

[@maxbrap]

Yes, I can fire folded.

[@EC-mc7vg]

Really neat, handy little firearm, and if someone wants or "needs" one I certainly understand. It is just hard for me to justify the cost, ?$2,700 just for the pistol, no brace? when I can build a 300 Blackout 6" to 10.5" AR pistol with quality parts and a Tailhook Mod 2 or SBA 3 brace for $800, and all with non proprietary easy to obtain parts. For the same money as the Sig I can build the AR pistol, purchase a suppressor, optic and buy a pile of 300 Blackout ammo. I already have too many different cartridges for shooting Texas hogs and coyotes, 5.56, 7.62x39, 300 Ham'r, 350 Legend and 450 Bushmaster, but all this has me thinking I need to add a 300 Blackout pistol to the mix, dammit. Plus 300 Blackout has got way more affordable to shoot than it was in the past. Firearms options are a good thing.

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

A "constantly evolving platform" is marketing speak for "sucks you bought the last model. Buy a new so you can get parts for it"

[@schulzbrianr]

In my mind, a good PDW has the magazine in the pistol grip for shorter overall length, like an Uzi, Mac10, or possibly on the top like the P90, or the Calico M900 or something.

[@theirishman6728]

Me. I'm one of those that built a 6" 300blk AR with a folding adapter because much as I liked the Rattler, I just wasn't a fan of the proprietary parts and some of the bulk around the handguard. This new LT is making me rethink towards getting one.

[@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595]

The only reason I’m interested in folding PDWs is *MAYBE* a bag gun in a get-home bag. To that extent, folding flat it mandatory, and there’s only two 300BLK guns out there that fold flat that I’d consider, this and the dissent.

[@kevinfox1780]

The velocities you show at 1:05 are NOT indicative of a Rattler with a 5.5 inch or even a 10 inch barrel.

[@tfbtv]

It’s strictly for comparative purposes. There are no Rattlers in 30-30.

[@kevinfox1780]

yes i get that, but the 300 blackout velocities on that graphic are probably 16 inch barrels as well. I'm just saying that you're not going to get 2350 fps from even a 10 inch barrel with that round......not that there's anything wrong with that.@@tfbtv

[@EmettTheGreat]

I prefer the 9 inch lt spear in 300 blackout. Put the jmac customs skeletonized buffer tube and Magpul Sl stock and it is vastly better than the sig stock. Folds flush and fits (barely) in a regular Jansport backpack.

[@gojaimo]

Was not prepared for the price!

[@NamedMyTaco]

Nobody buys an MP5 because they're cheap 😂😂😂. If you want an MP5 then you're more than likely ready to spend close to the price of the Rattler. A "full" semi-auto MP5 shoots like a dream because that was the intent, but in single fire it's just a dream that's lacking. Do yourself a favor and get the Rattler if you're looking at function over vibes. Because, the modularity alone is a major factor that casts a long shadow over the MP5 of yesteryear.

[@Sergeantgrunt]

DAMNIT! I was on the fence about the Sig Canebrake and this video just sealed the deal. No Canebrake, MCX Rattler LT it is!

[@Matt20911985]

This is my weapon of choice for SHTF when needing conceal ability, reliability, body armor piercing, and sound suppression. For people with the idea to use long rifles with like 5000 Rounds let me remind you. With current data shootings happened within 100 feet, and end within two shots in United States. For the main reasons you can’t determine who’s friend or foe from long range, and if your attacker has friends after the first two shots they almost always run away. After all violent criminals are not special forces. Lastly almost always people with non-concealed weapons with no suppressors are the first to die in SHTF situation. Because as soon as someone sees or hears a gun in your general direction most will shoot first and ask questions later.
