Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bipods Reimagined with BLK LBL CEO Dalton Beachli
Q: What platforms do you support and what makes your system unique across platforms?
The bipod is a universal component integrated into handguards, designed to fit bolt actions and semiauto rifles alike, with a focus on seamless integration across ARs, bullpups, and other platform families.
SDS Arms Breakdown: Which Line Fits You Best?
Q: What makes Inglis a good fit for SDS Arms now, and how did the modernization process work?
We acquired the Inglis trademark and focused on reviving the Milserp theme with historically inspired designs, such as the L9A1, while modernizing the internals to remove old pain points (like a magazine disconnect) and ensuring compatibility with a broader ecosystem of accessories.
SDS Arms Breakdown: Which Line Fits You Best?
Q: Why did you push to create the MAC-9 DS under the Mac brand as an affordable but feature-rich option?
We wanted to give every gun owner an entry point to a quality product, with forged components and design features like an extended slide lock lever, while keeping a reasonable price so that the category would be accessible and competitive.
From Concept to Can: Jaguar Silencers Break Down Their Full Lineup
Q: How do you balance the trade-offs between shorter can size and decibel reduction?
We offer multiple models (Shorty, Fatty, X-Series, Max) so customers can choose based on which factor they value more—lower decibels, weight, or a middle ground—while using different materials like Inconel and titanium to tailor durability and performance.
From Concept to Can: Jaguar Silencers Break Down Their Full Lineup
Q: What made you decide to go into suppressors as Jaguar Silencers, rather than sticking with previous work?
We wanted to launch our own brand, leverage additive manufacturing to access materials and geometries that traditional methods couldn't, and push beyond conventional designs to improve sound reduction and gas flow while keeping a distinct look.
