.45ACP Carbine

[Flight954]

Looking at a .45ACP carbine as my next purchase and my top picks are the following
Kriss Super V
HK USC
Beretta CX4

As you can see my first choice is the Kriss. Does anybody in the Houston area have one or have had some range time with one?

 

[Texasjack]

Interesting. I would have reversed the list.

 

[RetArmySgt]

Would love to have a Kriss.

Have you seen my AR in .45 acp?? It is Grreat!! MG

 

[RetArmySgt]

Id have to see that.

The Kriss is really disappointing in my experience, it just doesn't live up to what I expected out of it.

A .45 AR15 with M3 mags, and the HK USC are my recommendations. DuckSPS was selling an HK USC in the classifieds, might want to check it out.

Elaborate
I've seen DuckSPS listing, but it's the gray version and I'm looking at the black model.
I've seen an AR for sale on Gunbroker that is .45ACP. It had a 2 piece construction lower receiver that looked like a hack job. Is there any where else or a company that specializes in the AR45

I have the Olympic .45 acp upper with a "Bazooka Brothers" lower. Works really well! The only thing it doesn't have is the bolt lock after the last round. I hear that the Olympic guys have finally gotten the mag issue worked out so you can mount their upper directly to a standard lower and use their mag to feed it... MG

RetArmy Sgt-- I will have mine in SA for the shoot on the 30th. You are, of course, welcome to shoot it then!

 

[RetArmySgt]

Thank You USMC. I will be bringing a few weapons but nothing to special.

What was disappointing with the Kriss?
What were you expecting it to do that it didn't?
I am not defending it ~ I have no experience at all with it > just curious about the firearm.

I am working the bugs out of my direct impingement .45 AR. It runs at about 80% right now (sometimes it fails to go completely into battery). It uses grease gun mags in a cavarms mkII lower, hahn magwell block, and a purpose built upper. 30 rounds of 45 goodness. Just have to balance the spring and buffer so it works 100% and she'll be done.

MSAR is coming out with a "bullpup" 9mm/357Sig/10mm/40/45ACP carbine in the next few months!!!


And of course they take glock magazines.

This is the BOMB!!!

When I get ready to build another black style gun this is it!!!!

What a blast to shoot and you can shoot is at the pistol range.

Here's a link to AR15.com MSAR thread.

Looks like I'll be waiting for the MSAR!!

I'd like to find out more about the Beretta CX4 carbine regarding accuracy and overall functioning pros and cons. Anybody here have one and what's your perception of it's quality? Is there a beretta forum where I might find some reviews?

Hmm, that'd make a pretty good backpacking carbine in 357sig or 10mm... Of course I'd much rather they come out with a 6.8spc version instead of the pistol caliber one.
