    There isnt much that shoots .45 with hicapacity mags for a price like the MPA carbine, I'll give you that.

    I guess the bigger question is, is it worth buying a potentially unreliable and gimmicky weapon to fill your .45 Carbine niche?

    To me, and several others who have chimed in, no. The 9mm sees more benefit from carbine/SMG length barrels than does the .45 anyway.

    Your call, I guess. You know what we think.

    Here is how I ultimately solved this issue.



    Of course, many times the effective solution isn't the cheapest solution.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Unless you get to put a few rounds through 'er; then it goes right back up.

    Screw the little blue pills. Dump a couple mags through a select fire H&K and your pants will fit tighter all week.

    Back on topic. The MPA carbine sucks.

    Lage uppers which reduce the ROF by about half (depending on caliber and configuration) are certainly beneficial. Of course, that doesn't apply to semi-auto garbage guns.

    This is the main reason I never bought one. I always had the opportunity to get one ordered but without having the option to examine one in person or get some detailed reviews on the net, I never bothered.

    Just to clear this up.

    .45 ACP will NOT be accepted.

    However.

    I am opening up my options for UZI, and Sterling*(2) clones as well as a Skorpion.*

    So is Vector Arms the solution for a semi auto UZI? (I kind of want an open bolt full auto though.) It will see a folding stock, and a suppressor. (Which is what I would do on ANY submachine gun.)

    I'd like to figure my options out now, before I'm completely in the market, so that I have the time to do the research and be ready for it by the time I have the cash.

    Also, MAC carbines, and rails, etc. defeat the MACs purpose. A short quick bullet hose. And I actually really like the sights. :|

    Those carbines look retarded.

    *I really want a damn MAC clone though.

    *(2) A suppressed Sterling would be a car gun candidate.

    There is no way to get a Beretta Model 12S is there?

    Just buy a fullauto Cobray MAC-11. They can be found all day long for under $3k.

    Seriously?

    Become an FFL/SOT and buy a pre-86 dealer sample. I am sure there are probably a very few transferable 12S in the US, but I've never seen one up for sale. Dan Shea at LMO or one of the other long-time SOTs would be a better resource as to whether they know of any transferable 12S in the registry. Templar, Steyr, or anyone else.....have you guys ever heard of any transferable 12S?

    I have a masterpiece in .45acp and it's great fun. I hbe never hand ANY problems with it... Select fire would be neat however it is a felony in my state under any circumstances!

    I have ran probably close to 3000 rounds through mine and never a problem!
