Description
The 300 Blackout cartridge was built from the ground up to burn its powder in short barrels, and that makes it a natural match for the Combat Armory CA-15 pistol. With a 7.5 inch barrel, you get nearly full performance out of the round, whether you are running supersonic loads for the range or heavy subsonics through a suppressor. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes both ends of the bullet weight spectrum, so you are not locked into one style of ammo. Speaking of suppressors, the muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with an A2 flash hider installed, so swapping to a can or a different muzzle device is quick work.
Built Around a Serious Barrel
Combat Armory starts with a 4140 chrome moly vanadium barrel in an M4 profile, then treats it with a Melonite finish for corrosion resistance inside and out. M4 feed ramps keep rounds feeding smoothly, and the pistol-length gas system with a .750 low profile gas block is sized correctly for a barrel this short. That gas block tucks neatly under the 7 inch free float handguard, which uses a slim M-LOK design that keeps the whole front end trim while still giving you real estate for a light or hand stop.
CA-15 Receivers and Furniture
Both the upper and lower are machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in hard coat Type III anodizing, which is a step up from the forged receivers you see on a lot of builds in this class. The upper follows M4 MIL-STD dimensions with a proper forward assist, dust cover, and charging handle, and the fire control group, safety, and small parts are all Mil-Spec. That matters down the road, because it means triggers, grips, and other upgrades drop right in.
Why Pick the CA-15 in 300 Blackout
This configuration ships with a single 10-round magazine and a pistol buffer tube, making it a compact, maneuverable platform for home defense, truck duty, or just an enjoyable day at the range. If you have been wanting to get into 300 Blackout without piecing together a build yourself, the CA-15 hands you a complete, ready-to-run pistol with all the right specs in all the right places.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 7.5 inch barrel too short for 300 Blackout?
Not at all, and in fact this is the sweet spot for the cartridge. 300 Blackout was engineered to reach near-full velocity out of barrels in the 7 to 9 inch range, unlike 5.56 which loses a lot of steam that short. The CA-15 gives up very little ballistically compared to a 16 inch gun in this caliber.
Can I run a suppressor on the Combat Armory CA-15?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and comes with a standard A2 flash hider that removes easily. Pair a can with subsonic 300 Blackout loads and the 1:7 twist barrel will stabilize those heavy bullets without issue, which is one of the biggest reasons folks pick this caliber in the first place.
Will the CA-15 accept standard AR-15 parts and magazines?
It will. The fire control group, charging handle, safety, and other components are all Mil-Spec, so common AR upgrades drop right in. It feeds from standard AR pattern magazines, and it ships with one 10-round mag in the box. Just remember to keep your 300 Blackout ammo clearly separated from any 5.56 mags you own.
Does the CA-15 pistol use forged or billet receivers?
Combat Armory machines both the upper and lower from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and finishes them with Type III hard coat anodizing. The upper keeps M4 MIL-STD dimensions with a forward assist and dust cover, so you get the billet look and rigidity while staying fully compatible with standard AR components.
