Yo, listen up, gun enthusiasts! Ever heard of Q LLC? This badass firearms manufacturer was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and it’s all about that “Live Q or Die” vibe. The mastermind behind it? None other than industry legend Kevin Brittingham. This guy was a prodigy, starting his first company, Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC), at the ripe age of 19 back in ’97. He turned AAC into a suppressor beast, growing it so fast that Remington Arms snatched it up for a cool $18 mil in 2009. But you know how it goes with big corporations – clashing with the suits got Brittingham booted in 2011, and he had to fight a lawsuit that kept him out of the game until 2014. Not one to be kept down, he briefly took the helm at SIG Sauer’s suppressor division, only to peace out in 2015, fed up with the corporate BS. But like a true Second Amendment phoenix, he rose from the ashes, teaming up with his old crew from AAC and SIG to launch Q. So, if you’re looking for some top-notch firearms with a rebellious spirit, Q’s got you covered!
