Thread: MPA

Picked up another new toy today. Purchased a MAC 12 a few months ago, so I decided to add a 9mm to the collection, and I liked the digital camo - a little different. Enjoy shooting the MAC 12, a lot of fun at the range, I'm sure the MAC 10 will be just as fun and a little cheaper to shoot !

Cool.
I totally want one, even if it's just a plinker.

These MPA's can take a beating, but consider using some kind of thread lock on the Allen head screws. They WILL loosen if you shoot it often and will sheer due to vibration. I found this out the hard way.

Mac 12 = .380 right?
Mac 11 = 9mm
Mac 10 = .45

How will the mac 10 be cheaper to shoot?

That's 9mm right? If it is, it isn't a mac 10. Cool paint job on that one. I looked at those. Couldn't justify the purchase.

Yes, it's 9mm. Always confused, "MAC" is used for so much, you find MAC 10 45 acp, then MAC 10's listed as 9mm ???? Mine is actually a Masterpiece Arms MPA930T-AC

Yeah, after a while, it all becomes alphabet soup. My buddy had an old Cobray M11, and I knew the "11" designated 9mm. And I knew the .45's were all 10's. Wasn't sure about the 12. I thought your gun was 9mm, but figured I'd just ask. Either way, the camo job on your MPA looks really nice. The ergo's on the Mac is what keeps me from putting the cash down on one. They look so bad ass... but are fairly big and heavy. And as a semi-auto, don't have much on say a G17 with a 33rd mag in it. More reliable to suppress though, since they have a fixed barrel.

Original MAC 10's were 9mm or 45. Also the original MAC 11 was a 380.
