VA resident.  last thing I 'need" is a PCC in 45 before the commie faggot gun laws go into effect July 1.  Have a DD 8.3" 9mm PCC, love it.  using a Rex Silentium .458 socom can on it, so I can go to 45 with the can.  

I appreciate the AR15 ergonomics of the DD PCC.  Any hands-on recommendations for something like it in 45 ACP, factory?

Mags are also an issue.  the scorpion mags that the DD uses from magpul are sweet.  Not sure if there is something else is out there like it.

If nothing else is out there, I might just get another DD PCC.

thanks

Macon Army DI .45 acp is pretty fun. No selling/advertising outside of EE.

I have a CMMG Banshee .45 and it’s okay but not as soft shooting.

I have a CMMG Dissent SBR in .45 ACP.
It’s one of my favorite guns.
It takes Glock mags which is my only complaint. That there aren’t many options for higher capacity magazines that are also factory reliable.

I have a 45acp upper with a 16” barrel I’ve used on a lower that use Glock magazines. We can’t have silencers where I live.
I have spent more time with the 10mm upper on it trying to get it to work. Which I’ve finally managed to do. I just have to fine tune it.😁

I run a CMMG RDB in .45 documented on my site here: https://c3junkie.com/?page_id=841

However, I am using an old MGI modular lower with their Grease Gun magwell.


MGI has been reborn as Hydra Weaponry.  I was told that they are coming out with a Scorpion mag lower.  I think something modular like this may come in handy if living in VA assuming that they don't ban the magwells since they are not a serialized part.
You just need to remove the fixed ejector from the magwell since the ejector is in the upper for the CMMG RDB.


They also just came out with their own Lima 6 belt fed magwell which directly takes SAW nutsacks / porkchops.

Because I’m cleaning out my garage and need money more than it.

I may or may not have a lot of gun stuff.



If you were to go CMMG route. The Glock 21 mags have the option of the Kris’s adapters for a higher capacity option, they are just enormous.


Wish someone made like a 24 rnd reliable G21 mag.

Nobody fucking say the Promag ones.  Cause like everything else they make they don’t actually work .

This is my CMMG SBR

thanks - I did a bunch of research and ended up getting a Sp45a3.  looks like it gets good to great reviews everywhere.  mags are a little pricey, but oh well.  should make a good suppressor host also.

thanks!

Look out before you get a warning from mods for linking to your sale.

I would cal my SP45A3 a "FUMP." Fake UMP. Really like my SP9A3 so far. Only a few mags through it but suppressed well with my R9. Lightened the trigger with the lighter hammer spring, polished and took out some of the pretravel. HBI shorter buffer installed and grabbed a 40* locking block from Global Ordnance. Still watching for the 35* block to come back in stock. If you plan to suppress they have the 40* and 35* blocks for the 45/10mm versions in stock.

I have a FM45 upper 16" and a FM45 lower and its a hoot to shoot.  Not much kick and very accurate.
