Masterpiece Arms defender 9mm: Yay or nay?

[Lawnmower2021 423]

Considering one of these as a range toy... are they NJ compliant? Any opinions on them?

I kind of dig the MAC10 aesthetic of the top cocker, but I also think the MPA30DMG looks cool. I wonder if it takes the same Glock mags my SUB2000 does.

Fun or scary looking = no go for NJ.

If you got one of the special order ones without a threaded barrel, I think it would be legal with a pinned magazine.

I've shot both a MAC10 and an UZI and they really are not worth the hype. I can't imagine this being any better.

That's a fair take.

For some reason I recalled reading on here that it could be compliant. Ah well, I'm sure there are better things Thanks for the input all!

All of those pistols (with maybe the exception of the DMG) are over 50oz. And whether they have a barrel shroud is open to debate. So even with a non threaded barrel they are still possibly a no go.

 

MPA used to make a few smaller versions of these pistols that were under 50oz and were NJ legal, but they stopped making them a few years ago
