Q LLC Suppressor Heritage

Kevin Brittingham founded Advanced Armament Corp (AAC), which became one of the most respected names in silencer manufacturing. After leaving AAC, Brittingham launched Q LLC with an uncompromising vision: build suppressors using aerospace-grade titanium and stainless steel with tolerances that rival precision firearms components. Every Q suppressor is proudly manufactured in Claremont, New Hampshire. This heritage means you’re not buying a generic can—you’re investing in engineering excellence refined over decades.

Key Specifications

Performance & Engineering

The Porq Chop is Q’s signature 8.6 Blackout suppressor—engineered specifically for this cartridge’s high-volume flow rates and subsonic ballistics. Unlike universal cans that compromise across multiple calibers, the Porq Chop’s internal baffle geometry is optimized for 8.6’s unique performance window. The result is superior sound suppression, reduced backpressure management, and a shooter-friendly experience on both subsonic and supersonic rounds. The Quick Detach mount system allows seamless host transitions, so you can move the suppressor between compatible rifles without tools.

Built from aerospace-grade titanium and stainless steel with tight manufacturing tolerances, the Porq Chop is engineered to withstand years of hard use. The black finish resists corrosion, and the modular design means parts can be serviced or replaced by Q without sending the entire unit back. At approximately 12 ounces and 7.5 inches, it strikes the perfect balance between volume capacity and maneuverability—compact enough for precision rigs, efficient enough for tactical systems.
