New 45acp PCC

[toddnjoyce]

Ejection port (kinda) ?

And trigger area.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I don’t like anything blocking either of those areas. If it folds and impedes access (or ejection or other action required for operation) in the folded position, I’m solidly against.

Considering the point of folding the brace is to make it more compact; if I’ve got to unfold the brace for operation, then it kind of defeats the purpose of such a small package.

But then again, with .45ACP, there’s always the 1911 in a more compact package. Double-stack even.

I think there's a PCC out there somewhere that takes Glock double stack mags. Not sure because I don't shoot 45 ACP.

Nothing innovative or new, except no, what's the big draw? At least they could have double stacked the magazine so it didn't have to be so long

The mags are double-stack UMP mags--25rounds.

One minor problem.

What's the problem? That weapon fires just fine with the brace (or stock) folded.

Could be they couldn't get it to feed reliably with a double stack.

Bullshit. It feeds from double-stack UMP mags.

Is that an AR lower with a .45ACP sized mag well? I'd have to see one in person to decide whether I want one or not. Wonder what the bolt carrier looks like.

If it has all the right features and runs well I'd hit it.

Essentially, this in an LWRC UMP, only with improvements all around. And no import nonsense. Also, it uses AR fire control groups, so easily updated if one likes. Unlike the UMP, it permits one to choose your preferred AR pistol grip.

Could be the same reason H&K used a single stack.

The HK UMP is double-stack. The HK USC is single-stack and that was intentional by HK. It was NOT because of feeding problems.

My UMP uses double stack magazines.

My UMP uses double stack magazines.

Exactly. I'm thinking some of the folks either hadn't read the article or aren't familiar with the difference between the USC and the UMP. I'm not saying it's necessarily worth $3K, but there's definitely a place in the market for it.

Did you read post 21?

Do you own one?

I've been following the development of these, as I'm sort of an LWRC (and HK) junkie. The picture seems to show approximately the same amount of clearance that my UMP with factory stock has. I have no problem accessing the trigger or safety switch with the stock folded, and the folded stock does not hamper ejection at all.

I'd really enjoy one of those LWRC .45's, though I wouldn't pay $3k. Probably not even $2k.

Makes me interested in building an AR-45 pistol though.

For those of you with interest, CMMG makes one (Banshee model) for half the price and it's supposedly pretty top notch. It's more a SBR or AR pistol but I only know about it because I like their 9mm offering but too rich for my blood at $1500.
