By Daniel Y

Bear Creek Arsenal is getting into the 8.6 Blackout game with new pistols. These large-frame guns have short barrels to accommodate suppressor use. The barrel is not the only short feature, the twist rate is exceptionally short at 1:3.Bear Creek @ TFB: TFB Review: Bear Creek 300 Win Mag Huntmaster Bear Creek Arsenal Grizzly: From Rifles To Pistols TFB Review: Bear Creek Arsenal CHF BC-15 16 Inch Upper Bear Creek Arsenals New Hybrid BCA Red Dot/Rangefinder The New Bear Creek Arsenal .22WMR AR-15 Upper is Here!8.6 Blackout is the ballistic big brother of the .300 Blackout. Instead of taking a .223 case and necking it up to .30 caliber, the 8.6 takes a 6.5 Creedmoor case and necks it up to take a .338 bullet. That larger bullet diameter means heavier bullets in both supersonic and subsonic loadings than the .300 Blackout can muster.Bear Creek has three pistol models with barrel length options of 7.5 inches, 10.5 inches, and 12.5 inches. The muzzles are threaded M18x1.5. All three use side charging uppers. All three pistols retail for $995. In
