Nelson01 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have a 9mm but need a larger 45 for my truck gun. I have built a Quarter circle 10 9mm but i would like to take a different direction with another manufacture. Its hard to find anyone that has a 45 experience. Link to comment
Les Snyder Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 depending on how much money is involved... a couple of friends went with Just Right Carbine in .45 that uses a G21 magazine... they had an issue with dry firing, but after that, I think they have the bugs worked out... if you want a DI you might check with Macon Armory... Rudy is very knowledgeable...I think he has a blow back option also Link to comment

Aircooled6racer Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hello: Look at a Mech Tech if you have a pistol that they make a conversion for. They also have 10mm as well. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
jkrispies Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 If you already own a 1911 in .45, I'd look very hard at a Mech Tech. I shot a steel match on Saturday with a guy who had a Glock 17 Mech Tech, and it was pretty doggone cool!!! It looks like a nice design, and a carbine with a 1911 trigger would be sweeeeeet. I just had this exact conversation with m brother in law yesterday: Use 10 round magazines, put a dot on it, and it would be a very difficult Home Defense gun to top. As far as reliability goes, I can't say for certain how good it is but friend has a .45 1911 Mech Tech. He says it works well and hasn't complained about it, though I'm not sure how many rounds he's actually run through it. I'm almost tempted to see if he's willing to sell it to me... (FYI, There's also the Kriss, which I've shot in competition, and they are decent, but for the money I'd go with the Mech Tech if I already had a 1911 frame on hand. The main benefit to the Kriss is that it runs G21 mags for higher capacity.) Link to comment
kellymc Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I enjoy my HK 45 carbine it would made a good truck gun or home defence Link to comment
Intel6 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Another AR style option is a CNC lower that uses grease gun mags. Link to comment

MrRick Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Macon Armory make 45 uppers in blow back and DI system. https://maconarmory.com/ Link to comment
Nelson01 Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have a Mech Tech glock conversion sitting in my safe. Shot many pigs with it. Only down side is that its hard to clean and also no safety which is not good for a truck gun. Might just pull the trigger on the DI from macon. Link to comment

Steve RA Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'd assume you would have a safety if you went the 1911 .45 version - possibly even two. Link to comment

Its a regular 1911 lower, so you'd have the thumb and grip safety (assuming it's not pinned) though I don't know (and doubt) if there's a way to lower the hammer to half cock. Link to comment
Nelson01 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Would a 2011 45 fit a 1911 mech tech? Link to comment
Les Snyder Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 the parent pistol fits the rails, and provides the fire control group... you may need to change to a shorter thumb safety if you have an exceptionally designed one...friends have ones in .38super and 9x25 on 2011 lowers... don't think they needed to change the thumb safety Link to comment

barrysuperhawk Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Bazooka Brothers is what you seek. I have #18 out of the first 20 ever made, and it is awesome. Link to comment

Are the magazines proprietary or are they something like STI or Para .45 mags? Sorry, I am mag-obsessed, I lived through the AWB and as rotten as Illinois is on guns, we can still have normal cap mags. I have boxes of magazines for every gun Edited April 9, 2017 by barrysuperhawk Link to comment
Garmil Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 They are proprietary looks like a lot of the gun is. Link to comment

bmiller Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I have a vector arms Uzi that has a .45 conversion. It has the lower that is converted to take grease gun mags. It would make a good truck gun. The trigger reset is a little long for competition, but it is very reliable. It is set up for 9 right now. I use it as my defective round disposal system. It it remotely resembles a 9mm round it will eat it. Edited April 10, 2017 by bmiller Link to comment
Danomite45 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I went with a CMMG Guard in .45. Low mass bolt due to a rotary delayed blowback. Very light shooting. Glock 21 mags. Link to comment
