Since there were no iron sights, and a magnified optic would not suit my purpose on such a short-barreled AR, I went with an EOTech HWS XPS2. The BAMF was definitely stripped down compared to its more notable product line, but it still has the amazing fit and finish, as well as enough custom touches to keep it relevant. I tried several other magazines as well, including Surefeed GI-pattern magazines made by Okay Industries, HK steel and polymer magazines, and a Schmeisser 60-round magazine by ATI.
This pistol shipped with a single Magpul 30-round windowed magazine with Cobalt’s logo prominently featured. An end plate on the brace accommodates a single QD position as well. The sides of the hand guards had a single M-Lok slot, 2 QD points on either side, and the bottom sports a single M-Lok slot. The entire top of the upper receiver and the matching handguard was a continuous Picatinny rail with three M-Lok slots on the handguard for mounting accessories. The traditional billeted grip was replaced by a Hogue finger groove grip. It does not change or eliminate the sound signature like a suppressor does it simply pushes it forward reducing noise pollution from the shooter’s perspective. In case you’re not familiar with that term, a linear compensator primarily propels gas and concussion forward of the shooter. With a 6.5-inch barrel, the new linear compensator was mostly beneath the handguards. I expected to unleash a little flamethrower that would rattle my teeth and ring my ears through the muffs. Afterall, if a high-pressure rifle round won’t chamber, why force a cartridge into the chamber? I was never a big fan of the forward assist as it was. The barrel was threaded ½x28” and wore a linear compensator.Īs much as I liked the dual bolt drop and was sad to see it go, I can understand why. 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO without worry. Cobalt Kinetics also retained the Radian charging handle and unique ambidextrous magazine release. However, the selector is still ambidextrous. The dual bolt drop was gone, as was the short-throw selector. Externally, it resembled Cobalt Kinetics’ traditional designs with its perfect Cerakote finish in a stainless-looking gunmetal grey and flawless fit between upper and lower receivers. This one was equipped with a telescoping PDW-style brace.

The BAMFĬobalt sent us a BAMF Pro pistol for test and evaluation. The answer appears to be a resounding “Yes!” Now, with that out of the way, let’s get back the details we all crave. However, the question remained, “Would these new rifles and pistols actually justify the relatively high cost that remained?” Would Cobalt’s products sell without the dual bolt drop or CARS? The reduction in innovative features lowered the price by over $1,000.
