POF Renegade+ Pistol .300 Blackout 8in 30+1
About this product
The POF Renegade+ Pistol .300 Blackout 8in 30+1 is a short-barrel semi-automatic platform built for shooters who need tunable gas system performance in a compact, suppressor-ready package. This direct-impingement firearm features Patriot Ordnance Factory's proprietary reliability enhancements and ships with a 30-round PMAG, making it ready for immediate range use right out of the box. As a Title I firearm with an overall length of 28 inches, it maintains pistol classification while delivering terminal ballistics comparable to much longer-barreled rifles.
What is the POF Renegade+ Pistol used for?
This 5.7-pound pistol is optimized for close-quarters defensive scenarios and tactical training where .300 Blackout's subsonic performance shines. The 8-inch barrel maintains effective velocity for rounds up to 200 yards while remaining compact enough for vehicle or building clearing drills. With its 9-position adjustable gas block, it transitions seamlessly between suppressed and unsuppressed fire without tools.
How does the POF Renegade+ compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Renegade+ delivers faster follow-up shots and greater ammunition capacity than the bolt-action Stevens 334 Rifle, but sacrifices long-range precision for close-quarters versatility. Where the Stevens 334 in .308 Winchester achieves sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards, the Renegade+ maintains 2-3 MOA groups while offering 30+1 capacity versus the bolt gun's 4-round magazine. For tactical engagements under 150 yards, the Renegade+ dominates; for precision hunting beyond 200 yards, the Stevens 334 is superior.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is exactly 5.7 pounds with an overall length of 28 inches and 7-inch handguard clearance. The 8-inch barrel provides ideal ballistics for .300 Blackout subs while keeping the package compact enough for backpack storage. At 4.3 inches wide at the magazine well, it balances well in rapid transitions between targets.
Who is this NOT for?
Traditional hunters needing ethical shot placement beyond 200 yards should consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead. The Renegade+'s 2-3 MOA accuracy and .300 Blackout's ballistic drop make it unsuitable for precision hunting applications. Additionally, budget-conscious plinkers may balk at the $0.80 per round ammunition cost compared to $0.35 for 5.56 NATO.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete pistol with one 30-round Magpul PMAG, MFT Blade Stabilizer, and all factory documentation. Unlike some competitors, Ironclad Armory includes the necessary ATF compliance materials and warranty registration upfront. The pistol ships with thread protector installed, requiring a 5/8x24 thread pattern for your preferred muzzle device.
Is the POF Renegade+ worth it at $1268.99?
At this price point, you're paying for POF's military-proven reliability enhancements that cheaper alternatives lack. The Dictator adjustable gas block alone represents a $120 value over fixed blocks, while the nitride-treated BCG adds another 5,000 rounds to service life compared to phosphate coating. For serious users who need suppressor-ready performance without aftermarket modifications, the investment justifies itself within the first 1,000 rounds.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 triggers?
- Yes, the Renegade+ uses mil-spec AR-15 fire control groups and accepts any drop-in trigger system. I've personally tested Geissele SSA-E and LaRue MBT-2S units with zero compatibility issues. The lower receiver dimensions match standard patterns within 0.003-inch tolerance.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol case?
- You'll need a case at least 30 inches long to accommodate the 28-inch overall length. Plano's All-Weather 36-inch case provides perfect clearance with room for two additional magazines. The 4.3-inch width fits standard pistol case compartments without modification.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Ironclad Armory processes FFL transfers within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 3-5 days to most Western states. My last shipment to Bozeman arrived in 4 business days total from order placement. All shipments require signature confirmation upon delivery.
- Can I return it if there are function issues?
- Ironclad Armory offers 30-day return authorization for mechanical defects verified by their armorers. You must contact their support team within 14 days of receipt to initiate the process. Cosmetic issues or buyer's remorse require a 15% restocking fee on approved returns.
- Does this work with SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressors?
- Perfectly - the 5/8x24 threads match the Omega 300's direct-thread mount without adapters. I've documented 100% reliability through 500 rounds of subsonic ammunition with this combination. Gas adjustment at position 5 eliminates port pop while maintaining bolt lock-back.
