WOW... that's all I can say about this weapon. I shot it the day I received it and the accuracy and feel surprised and delighted me. I expected very little from it, other than a novelty piece for my collection. This MPA shoots straight and accurate and I had so much fun at the range. Buds is the best and shipped the gun to me in a day.

The pistol you get is not the one in the picture. It is the new version with adjustable sights aluminum receiver and tapped rear stock holes. Great gun.

This is an excellent firearm. I put 200 rounds through it yesterday with zero functioning issues. It's also more accurate than expected. Nice tight groups at 25 yards using the iron sights. I've added a shortened Sig brace and a free float hand guard. Makes for an excellent, stable shooter. I'd like to add that it's very simple to shorten the Tapco mags down to lower capacities. (I made a couple of 22 rounders.)

Solid built gun, no malfunctions. Comes with hard case, safety extension, magazine and mag loader. My only issue is that the safety extension came scratched but not bad, also the finish on the gun has some small hair scratches but I do believe that's the nature of the finish, no big deal to me.

I purchased this gun Oct.2011. I didn't really shoot it alot maybe 100rds. Most recently I took it to the shooting range and painted the front sight white which really helped my accuracy. After about 50rds the cocking lever knob broke off. Bummer. I called MPA about their life time warranty and they sent me a new redesigned HEAVEY DUTY cocking lever knob for free. Now this thing is truely built like a tank.

I was a little unsure about this gun as I've heard some of them have problems. Not so. A+ delivery from buds and the gun has run flawlessly. It has cycled every type of ammo and with a real suppressor it's a fun gun. The trigger takes some time to get used to, don't thow away the plastic sleeve over the trigger! It's hard on the finger at first. The fake suppressor is useless. This was the only model that had a common threading for a real suppressor.

Lets be honest, whoever buys this is only buying it as a fun toy to plink with. And it is fun and looks cool. Put 70 rounds through it and no issues and just a hoot to fire.

A fun gun, good for bumpfiring no FTF or FTE after 200 rounds only problem i had was the sights on this gun . Very inaccurate with and without the barrel ext. Thinking maybe it was my aim, I let 3 other shooters try it out same results for everyone. Would give it a 5 of 5 if it was accurate but whats the point of having a gun if you cant hit a target accurately lol.

This was my first online firearm purchase and thanks to buds it went very smooth. No tax is great and I couldn't locate one of these locally so I found one here. Thanks buds for the fast delivery, ordered late Monday, it was at my FFL by Friday. Now as far as the gun goes, I was very impressed by the fit and finish. Very high quality Mac clone. The tapco magazine functions great and has nice feel to it. I burned through 4 mags without any issues or misdeeds. The accuracy was great once I adjusted the front sight as it came shooting very high, but after that I easily made 6" groups at 20yds. This is by no means my first defence choice, but its a fun gun to take to the range and I'm sure I'll get years of fun out of it. The only downside to this firearm I found was that it is really hard on brass, so don't plan on reloading anything you feed it!

Placed my order for the mpa930t on 2-29....finally received my package at ffl on 3-14??, So maybe it was just bad timing on my part for being my first order from buds, but none the less it put a very bad taste in my mouth. Now..on to the weapon, Masterpiece Arms packages the smaller handguns in very nice custom padded cases with the company logo embossed upon the front cover, This is impressive on it's own. The gun was packaged within the case in a plastic bag and the extension, magazine, and loader were loose, but this is no problem due to the foam packing keeps whatever is inside tight and free from movement. The first thing that I removed from the case was the extension, I noticed right away at the extreme weight of this item, It is manufactured of solid billet aluminum and the weight that is removed from it in design is the clearance hole through the middle, The threads are very clean and consistent allowing for a nice fit, and the finish is fine as well with smooth cnc finished edges. The magazine is from tapco, this magazine holds 32 rounds opposed to the sten which holds 30 rounds, the weight of an empty tapco compared to the weight of a empty sten is about half, as far as loading goes with the tapco the supplied loader is a piece of crap!! what I received instead of what used to be an actual tapco loader is some ill-fitting piece of plastic junk that is nothing more than a square block of soft black nylon that Masterpiece Arms is obviously saving alot of money for themselves by manufacturing in house now (shame on you for short changing the customer) The tapco magazine has a very cool tactical design and loads very easily even with the supplied junk loader. On to the gun! I will not give too many details about the inside and outside due to the fact that there are hundreds of videos posted on youtube that will give a better description, But i will say that fully loaded with the fake can on the end this pistol is extremely heavy for a "handgun", but what I found out right away is it is very surprisingly accurate ! ! ! with the minimalist iron sights out of the box I was hitting within my 6" sighting target at 30 yards and holding a well grouped pattern, I shot this handgun better than my lightweight fully loaded sw9ve at the same distance, after realizing how accurate this weapon is I went on to find out how fun it is as well, Started shooting with the tapco, everything was smooth with no misloads, on to my surplus reconditioned sten mags, I initially thought going into it that I would have feeding problems from the sten mags, but not the case at all, total I shot 7 mags at 30 rounds each which equals 210 rounds with only two misloads, that's pretty damn good in my book! On top of the fact that I was shooing Russian Wolf bulk ammo. After months of researching between the mpa930t and the mpa930sst (top loader) i decided on the side loader, here is part of my reasoning, Why take an already heavy pistol and add more unnecessary weight to the top of it, And for what? to look more tactical? B.S.! got the side loader, and you will have a blast! trust me. Now as far as the trigger slap goes that everyone talks about, I do believe that this is highly overestimated, Of course there is some noticeable difference between this gun and a more modern semi-auto 9mm handgun, but your not planning on carrying this thing with a 30 round magazine on the side of your hip into walmart to buy some milk and eggs now are you? In conclusion, The price is a bit high for a 9mm handgun, but it's a fun gun, the weight knocks down the overall score but the accuracy and cool factor bring it back up. The gun is great, My service from Buds....well....not sure if i will order again.
