Shipping was very fast, only took 2-3days max😊‼️ I will be definitely ordering off of buds again and again! Also the layaway was so easy I’m glad I found a gun shop I can 100% rely on

Awesome Mac clone and sounds great suppressed

What a blast to shoot! Take off the faux suppressor and it looks like Thors hammer. Only 1 mag is a bit of a bummer but this is mostly for fun at the range anyway.

By far the best semi auto mac 10 variant. Super customizable, accurate gun once you have some practice, the irons are better than any other mac, suppressor ready, my only complaint is that it can't take sten mags

No jam ups at all. Perfect for range time. Lots of fun to shoot.

This pistol is a bit of a dream come true. I’ve always wanted a Mac 10 style 9mm. Finally pulled the trigger :) So, here it is. Love it and intend to enjoy it for many years. This is not a streamline, whip it out pistol. It’s heavy, even “bulky” to carry. The weight makes it very stable when shooting. One area I would hope to see improved is the magazine. I LOVE 30 rounds so - cool. But, the opening of the polymer mag is not sturdy. I’ll be shopping for some mags that are as stout as the pistol itself. I put about 60 rounds through it so far. Still deciding how I want to use the gun in the future. It comes with rails above and below the barrel so I’m happy to have options for additional components. Another pleasant surprise in the hard case that comes with the gun. I didn’t know the case was included - so, A there. I’ve only owned the gun 1 day and these are my personal opinions so far. The aggressive style of this gun is pretty much my favorite thing about it. My wife is like, “What are you gonna do with that?” My FFL dealer is like - “Dude, great gun” & my sons will argue over who gets it when I’m gone. I recommend this gun for any casual collector - happy camper. Lastly - I’m thankful that God has loved and blessed my life. And I’m thankful for Trump in the White House protecting our 2nd amendment rights. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Very cool pistol. The one I recieved did not look like the picture, but it's not a huge difference. Mine looks like the FDE version that is pictured elsewhere. It cycled all of the different types of ammo I tried in it. I did not try any hollow points.

An absolute blast to shoot. Planning to RED DOT it. Got the aftermarket sling and love it.

Most accurate pistol I own.

WOW! Absolutely fun gun. This gun will bumpfire right out of the box. Will shoot just like an fully automatic pistol. We went on vacation up into the mountains of Tennessee and had some tannerite and some paper targets. 1 slight ejection problem with a couple of rounds, but that is to be expected when you are shooting 30 rounds in about 3 seconds. Easy to shoot, easy to breakdown and clean. And here is the bonus, extremely accurate when shooting it single fire. I would recommend this gun highly. Looks is about a 3, reliability a 5 and fun about a 10. And Bud's the same as always - no problems what so ever.

I already own a MAC 11, so I was looking to this gun to be my semi auto gangsta lookin gun. I also already own a 9mm Vietnam era suppressor, which fit right on the weapon and served well, as opposed to the "barrel extension" that comes with this gun, which basically does nothing other than give you a place to put your left hand and help aim. The gun performed admirably on the range with no jams or misfires after at least 300 rounds. The gun was also very accurate, blowing out the center of the target time after time when firing from the hip. It's a little hard to aim if you have to look down the barrel. I much prefer firing from the hip; unfortunately, the range masters on most ranges here where I live do not allow hip firing or rapid firing. Too bad. Great gun for the money, since my MAC cost me $3500 and is worth about $7000 now.

Looks good, as expected if you know about these weapons. The externals are a bold impressive flat black. Front sight tower welded on slightly crooked, however this does not actually affect the front sight post itself. Mine came with a small accessory rail for lasers or other gear located on the bottom just in front of the trigger. This rail is bolted on. It is slightly crooked. Going to have to take it off and ream one of the holes so I can pivot the rail into square position. Buds put my firearm in a skin tight box, and then my dealer proceeded to slice nice deep lines into the cool hard shell case that came with the gun. It has the MPA logo molded into the front of it. Not sure who to blame for this; the packaging people, or my dealer. I can get a new case direct from Masterpiece Arms for $35 shipping. The internals of the firearm are precision fitted and the firearm chambers and ejects without a hitch. Good gun, liable to become harder to obtain, so I am not messing returning it, but I do wish people would be a little more careful in regard to the annoying things I have mentioned.

I bought this pistol a couple months ago. When I went to pick it up from a LGS the guy proceeded to tell me how crappy this pistol was and how he never seen one that didn't malfunction. Since then I've put a little over 500 rounds down range without a single malfunction. Accuracy is dead on also, I can put a full mag of 35 rounds all through the same hole that is smaller than my fist out past 20 yards. Probably one of the cleanest shooting guns I have. I can shoot a couple hundred rounds, go home open it up and it is barley dirty. And as always Bud's was a pleasure to deal with.

The MPA (mac clone) is built like a tank. If you do not like the recoil of traditional handguns or want something that you will not have to baby, this baby is a great choice. During the first 300 rounds, I had multiple FTFs but with a little elbow greese I could always get it to run. I would not recommend this product if its intended use is anything only than spraying at the range. But for the price, it's a great addition to my collection.

Another flawless Buds transaction. This is a great gun!!!!!! I would recommend it to everyone. Its unbelievable how accurate it is. Every target that goes down range comes back with the entire center missing. You won't regret this purchase.

This gun did NOT work out of the box. The feed ramp was poorly designed and would not feed the bullets. I had to pay almost $60 to send it to the factory to get fixed. If you buy something new, you should not have to spend time and lots of money to get the gun to work. Now that it is fixed, i like it better, but it should have come to me in functional condition. i would not buy one of these guns unless you personally saw it shoot!

I just picked this up today and am very pleased with what I bought!!! It looks really cool the barrell shroud is a little too long IMO but it looks okay. I can't wait to try this baby out thanks Buds for fast shipping and great price!!!!

I have attemped to shoot 150 rounds (FMJ, Brass case). At least 50 have jammed. i've tried at least 2 brands of ammo. When the gun does fire, I've had 2-3 failure to eject. The gun improperly feeds the bullets into the base of the barrell (damaging the bullet) and causing jam. Also, the 2nd round, and last round of the magazine ALWAYS jam. I had read really good reviews about this gun, but the one i have does not function properly or safely. i've owned a Tec-9, and this gun functions MUCH worse. I highly recommend you do not purchase this gun!!!!
