Being asked to review a rifle is kind of like having your best friend ask if you think his sister is attractive. There are so many ways to answer the question that can land you in hot water. Are we just talking about looks? Does personality matter? How well will she perform? (Did I just take that analogy too far)? But joking aside, we’re talking about a .300 Blackout from a 5-inch barreled AR. I needed a date!

THE COMPANY 

First, meet the parents. Veritas Tactical, LLC is a family/law enforcement/veteran owned-and-operated company out of Central Florida, started by firearms enthusiasts and operators for the purpose of creating purpose-built precision and custom firearms. They specialize in purpose-built AR-platform rifles, parts, accessories and gear. They’ve chosen the AR platform rifle because it provides ultimate versatility when creating a purpose-built weapon. The VT16 Executive PDW 3B is not only a mouthful to say, but it is also a brand new rifle they’re launching this year.

“This weapon system was designed and intended as a compact personal defense weapon that could easily be placed into a carry bag or under a concealment garment for the personal protection environment,” said Alex Ferrer, owner/manager of Veritas Tactical. “Working in the personal protection and surveillance field, I've always looked at building a weapon system that accommodates the needs for conceal ability of a long gun option.”

But still, when someone tells you they built a 5-inch 300 Blackout AR, you kind of scratch your head and ask yourself, “Practical or novelty?” Let’s get into first impressions.
