It is designed for suppressor use with an adjustable gas knob and is expected to be released in early summer with pricing comparable to existing JAKL models.

Chris from Honest Outlaw provides an enthusiastic preview of the Palmetto State Armory Sabre 11P, a production-ready version of a previously seen prototype. He highlights its comfortable ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, grip safety, and a V8 port job designed for recoil reduction. The pistol features a full bull barrel and dust cover, with expectations of an affordable price point.

This comprehensive review tests ADI World Class 69gr Sierra MatchKing ammunition across nine different AR-15 barrels. The analysis employs a rigorous methodology, including 30-shot groups at 100 yards and advanced data collection tools, to evaluate accuracy and velocity. The Seekins 16" barrel emerged as the top performer, demonstrating the potential of budget-friendly match ammunition when paired with the right barrel.
