    MACs, much like AKs, should be very very simple.
    Now hold the phone right there... I wouldn't go and call a side charger "complicated."

    The ability to mount an optic and get away from the hole-in-receiver rear sight is a game changer for the MAC series. So is kicking down the rate of fire.

    IN FACT if Gordon Ingram sat up in bed one night and thought up Richard Lages design, I believe there would have been much wider adoption. He just wasn't looking to enhance the design so much as economize it.

    All that being said, Semi Auto MAC series guns are retarded themselves. You would be MUCH better served with an extended capacity, reliable mag, in a reliable pistol.

    I watched a guy shoot one of the "carbine MACs" at a range once, he fired off about 250 rounds with no issues, but the gun looks so damn stupid I'd honestly be embarrassed to own it.

    Unless you just want the MAC style for the hell of it, you'd be better off with a Glock 19 + 33rd mags (instead of the pistol Mac) or a Beretta Storm in .45 (instead of the carbine Mac)

    so we worry about looks now?

    I'd be more worried about reliability and cheek weld issues.

    yes but the 45acp storm only takes 1911 mags.

    Finding a trust worthy sub $1,000 45acp that has an optics rail and takes grease gun mags, all out of the box without buying aftermarket products to "improve" the firearm, is quite difficult.

    Um, according to Beretta's website, the .45 storm uses cougar mags.

    Does anyone even make new grease gun mags nowadays?

    my bad. I had known it used a 7 or 8 round mag and automatically assumed it was 1911 style.

    nope. I think that's one of the reasons for the poor 45acp hi-cap carbine market.

    I thought you might have better luck with a tommy gun clone, but their mag's are pretty expensive too . . .
