CMMG<\/a>‘s Resolute 300 Series carbine in .40 S&W is a joy to shoot with plenty of energy for practical work.\u00a0 Law enforcement asked for a .40 S&W carbine that used the same magazine as their Glocks. CMMG answered the call and tamed the recoil with Radial Delayed Blowback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to this gun is the innovative Radial Delayed Blowback<\/b> (RDB). The RDB system delays and reduces the velocity of the bolt so that powerful pistol cartridges like .40 S&W can be used without a heavy buffer system. Felt recoil is also reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The 300 Series is the full-featured, top-of-the-line offering.  The Resolute starts with matched forged 7075-T6 AL M4 type upper and lower receivers. The CMMG RML15 M-Lok handguard provides modularity for any attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance features include a CMMG SV brake, oversized ambidextrous charging handle, a Magpul MOE pistol grip<\/a>, the CMMG RipStock<\/a> with a six position enhanced receiver extension, a Geissele Automatics SSA 2-Stage trigger<\/a> and a CMMG ambi safety selector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the 300 Series, you also get your choice of 10 different Cerakote<\/a> colors, which are applied to the receiver, handguard, ejection port cover, and the RipStock. The model above is Bazooka Green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to try the .40 S&W Resolute with the RipStock and a 16-inch barrel. This package soaks up the .40 recoil and puts out 10mm levels of energy. It was a fast and easy shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nikon SPUR<\/a> 3MOA red dot sight is like cheating. It is a simple point-and-click interface. Put the dot of doom on the target and pull the slick Geissele Automatics SSA 2-Stage trigger. Out to 100 yards on a 6-inch plate with a center hold, no hold offs needed. Shooting steel at 10 yards was a joy. The Texas Star has met its match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many magazine options available for the Resolute. Glock factory magazines ran well, but all my KCI USA magazines <\/a>were equally accepted. The drum may be silly on a handgun, but the weight of 50 rounds in the middle of the gun was very balanced and pointed well. The fun factor cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nikon SPUR<\/a> MSRP is $219.95. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
