Still debating getting a MPA 9mm mini. Anyone own or know about

MPA930T

$378 new with threaded barrel, barrel extension, mag, mag loader, etc.. Seems like a fun piece and I've heard fairly good things about Masterpiece ?

I've never heard good or bad about them, but I think they're cool and would make a fun range toy if I could find a super cheap one.

I owned an MPA 30 for a few years. It is well built, except for the Allen head counter sink sheet metal screws that hold some of it together. They are very hard and brittle and they kept breaking on mine. I ended up trading it for a 1300 Speed Pump. Every other one I shot was as accurate as the one I had, and it was accurate. It is hard to slow fire one, though, because it is very, VERY easy to bump fire. As one guy put it a while ago, "trigger slap happy".

You can get a nice used PT 92/99 with a couple of 30 rd. mags for close to the same price, and shoot it as slow or as fast as you want. JMHO

I had one. The mags are imposible to load i never had a blister so bad from loading a mag. Other than that they are fun plinkers.

Yea, I forgot to mention the mags being hard to load, especially the last 8.

I love my masterpiece arm 9mm. Mine is a side cocker. other than that the parts are flawless. They blow cobray out of the water for fit and finish. I was told they cut their parts with a water jet and that is the reason for the quality. I dont know if its true or BS. They bump fire like you wouldnt believe

My reccomendation to you is buy it !
