Q Fix SD 8.6 Blackout first look: subs and supers out to 300 yards

Key points: Q Fix SD 8

• Q lists the Fix SD in 8.6 Blackout with an 8-inch barrel, a 1:3 twist and a dedicated direct-thread suppressed setup.
• The new 8.6 SD silencer line uses a new baffle design and adds a wrench feature at the front, so a stuck can is easier to remove from under the shroud.
• A tall top rail builds in 20 MOA, which the hosts say buyers want on an 8.6 with a barrel this short.
• Supersonic Black Hills 210-grain TSX sounds better than the hosts expected from the short barrel and can, though they still call eyes and ears mandatory.
• After 30 to 40 minutes of shooting, the outside of the shroud stays comfortable to hold, while the host who reaches inside it gets burned.
• The five-round subsonic pizza bet at 300 yards ends in a tie, and the dueling-tree tiebreaker ends in an argument over nicked plates.
• The optic in the video is borrowed and does not ship with the gun.

About this First Look video

Q Fix SD first look in 8.6 Blackout: Jay and Jordan of Q take the 8-inch-barrel bolt gun from the engineering room to the range, unscripted. They run subsonic and supersonic loads on steel out to 300 yards, check whether the shroud over the new silencer stays cool enough to hold, and shoot a 300-yard subsonic bet that ends in a disputed tiebreaker. It is a first impression from the company that builds the gun, not an independent review.
