This $500 MAC-10 Clone Should Not Be This Much Fun - MPA30T Defender First Mag
About this video
Colion reviews the MasterPiece Arms Defender, which he describes as a Mac-10 clone pistol. He breaks down the gun’s features, including its rotating safety, faux suppressor, extended magazine, and utilitarian sights. Colion shares his experience shooting it in various configurations (with and without the faux suppressor, and with a real suppressor), emphasizing that while the gun requires suspending some practical concerns, he found it exceptionally fun to shoot and surprisingly balanced.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues the Defender’s rotating safety is unintuitive from a tactical standpoint, making it difficult to determine if the gun is on safe without looking
- According to Colion, the faux suppressor adds weight that balances the gun well, though he personally prefers shooting without it for faster target acquisition
- Colion reports the gun is highly enjoyable to shoot and points naturally despite its unconventional design, though he notes the magazines are difficult to load without a special tool and the gun doesn’t lock back when empty
- Colion suggests the gun is practical for home defense if it runs reliably with hollow points, and he considers it an exceptional plinker at its $500 price point
