Customer Reviews for MPA Defender Top Cocker 30+1 45ACP 6"

This gun is amazing! it is really accurate, sight are goods and built to last, you hear people say "built like a tank"...well tank builders should say built like a MPA MPA10T. I love this gun but it does have two draw backs due to the quality build it is HEAVY so eat your Wheaties before you go out shooting and the magazine rattles a lot, I haven't found a fix for that yet but it's a small price to pay for such an awesome gun.

Nice fit and finish. Very well made. It does misfeed from time to time but still fun to shoot.

Great gun!! A lot of fun!!

Bought this gun because the design of these style weapons is very simple and reliable and masterpiece took it a step further by adding a adjustable rear sight and accessory rail in front of the trigger guard. These mac-10 style weapons will surely go up in value as more anti-gun hype is played and though this was not my biggest reason for buying it did play a factor. My biggest reason for buying was a wanted a gun that was out of the norm as far as guns I own and also my friends and family own, that and the reliable design and amazing look all added up to me getting one while they were at a great price. Upon receiving I saw it was shipped in an amazing hard case and included the barrel extension as well as a 30 round mag and loader, which really helps the thumbs when getting a whole mag loaded up. The unfortunate side to this purchase is I could not make it through a whole magazine without at least 5 rounds not chamber and getting stuck as they went in an awkward upward motion into the chamber. Knowing this wasn't right I called masterpiece and after 5 minutes of speaking with a extremely nice lady, I was emailed a shipping label and spent no money shipping it as she said it being new it should run right out of the box. To my surprise I received the gun in only 2 day from shipping and the culprit as put in their report was a faulty magazine, the feed lips were not correct and the spring was faulty as well. After this was fixed the gun ran any 45 I could find to put through it and I must say even with the magazine mishap I would not hesitate to buy from this company again and again as they make an amazing product and stand by it in a way that puts some manufactures to shame. If considering this gun go ahead and get it because once you fire some rounds off, you will never look back and wonder why you bought it.

This is a toy gun for grown man...not a gun you would want to buy for protection due to the fact it will probably missfeed the bullet on you after your first shot, its best not to fire but just show the gun to hopefully scare them away. This gun misfeed too many bullets which disappoint me, at least my does and I do not recommend this gun for people who are looking for a reliable gun. I own this gun for a while now and shot over 200 rds...and this gun will missfeed after minimum of 4 shots each time.

The MPA10T I received, came with an updated rear sight, extended mag release lever, and a standard rail in front of the trigger guard, which is perfect for mounting a pistol light. The weapon has a nice even finish, and the fit nice. It is a quality MAC-10. I put 100 rounds through it today, and it functioned flawlessly. It shot a bit low, but the front sight is adjustable for elevation (the rear sight is windage adjustable), so no problems there. The weapon is heavy, simple, and sturdy, it could probably be used as a hammer, if needed. This gun is impractical, but is a blast to shoot. I guess it could serve in a home defense role, especially with a pistol light attached and 30 round mags, if being a fun gun is not enough justification to own one!

Great, everything just as promised. Will continue to buy from Buds. Thank you

Purchased a Masterpiece Arms MPA930SST ("Mini MAC" / M11) in 9mm and a MPA10T (original "MAC 10" / M10) in .45 ACP. Both guns are excellent! It is amazing how simple and elegant the mechanism inside is. There are only about three moving parts. I have only had these for about a week, but my impression is that the simple design will lead to great reliability. Fit and finish is excellent -- the build quality exceeded my expectations. It is also worth mentioning that Buds has shipped a newer model than what appears in the pictures both on the manufacturer's website and on the Buds product image. The rear "triangle of metal with hole" sight has been replaced with a handgun style notch rear sight w/ white outline. It is now adjustable using a screwdriver and a hex key. These are definitely big and boxy guns, no doubt about it. However, owning a lot of "regular" handguns already, these were a lot more fun to buy and use than yet-another-1911. A lot of people on the Internet scoff at owning a semi-auto conversion of a full auto gun and ask what the point is? I think these are great guns in their own right, even as semi auto. They are well made, look to be quite reliable, fun, and unique, and very affordable.

Jammed right outta the box. Had to put a dremmel to the inside and it worked fine. Fast shipping Buds, great service. 5 for 5 with buds service. The gun gets a 4 outta 5 in my book, that's my $.02

This has to be one of my more rediculous firearms. Fun to shoot and oddly accurate. i say odd because its like holding a tank in your hands. Everyone that sees it wants to shoot it and thinks its just wild. If I were to do it again i would probably get the 9mm mpa30t i think is what its called, just because ammo is cheaper. Also it would be nice if it came with two mags. the loader is simple in design but works well and believe me when loading 30 rounds you want to use the loader.

The order was shipped on Tuesday and was at my FFL in Florida on Thursday morning. The gun was in new condition, though a little too much factory oil still present. I took it to the range this morning, before cleaning, just to see how it would hold up. I was using, admittedly, cheap steel cased ammo and I did experience about 5 stove pipes, but easily cleared. The gun will serve the purpose for which I bought it, to rapid fire and attract attention. Overall 5 stars.

BUDS gets 5stars....As for the m10..I will never buy any MPA product ever again..The mag was 40+ years old and still had its stock spring in it it did not work worth a Damn not even able to clear a mag with out feed issues so i sent it back to MPA ..They have the worst customer service Iv had to ever deal with..over 2 months later and many many emails and phone calls i got a new mag..it was a brand new nice Mag so went to range,the gun was always hard to charge but i blew it of and waited till my new mag came ..the upper receiver was to tight and did not allow the block to move feely WOW..so In stead of sending it back to MPA I bought a side cocking upper from USMACHINEGUN.com its perfect now and they have tri rails ,foregrips mags 45rd hicap mags, stocks,full auto uppers for class 3 guys...

First off, Buds delivered faster than ever and kept me informed of the shipping status throughout the entire purchase. Great job! Upon receiving my MPA Defender, I immediately noticed it's weight, which is very heavy. The gun is well constructed and is very solid. The slide works smoothly and the magazine fits perfectly. I have yet to shoot the gun, but I am optimistic that it will perform well. Overall... I gave this gun a score of 4 out of 5 because my barrel shroud was damaged. It has scratches on it and considering that it is a new weapon, I expect an undamaged product. I did purchase insurance on the delivery of this firearm, so I will try to seek a replacement part. Thanks again for a great transaction! This is my third purchase and I will be back for many more!

Bought this pistol for fun factor. Arrived in good time since pistols are shipped 2 day UPS. The pistol was in great shape but the barrel extension had 4 deep scratches on it. I prefer the look without the barrel extension anyway,but it helps when trying to bumpfire. If only .45 was cheaper I could practice enough to empty a whole mag in seconds. As it is, it doesnt jam when bumpfired, but I just cant find the sweet spot. Tons of fun!! The bolt had some surface rust on it that was impossible to see with the naked eye but when I started to clean it up I could see it on the rags I was using. I think from being in a case for so long. Layway was awesome and I already have two more guns lined up and on payments. Gonna have to pick up a mini in 9mm eventually. Buds just has so many guns its hard to chose !!
