Anyone tried the Uzi Pro 45acp?

You got me excited thinking it was a new factory gun that might lead to the production of new .45 mags.

Hate it
I bought three when i got excited over its compactness
Now braces are illegal so that sucks
the trigger is not great
It jams on almost all hollowpoints
mags are proprietary , maybe if you messed with uzi mags you could cut a \slot so it would lock up
accuracy was very good
Oh, the barrel is so close you have to be careful that none of your parts get in front of the muzzle

B&T has some really nice guns in that size but are more pricy

@Haris1 This is a 45acp SBR with a UZI Micro Stock. This isn't a 9mm.

Yeah I wish it was factory, particularly a 45acp threaded, but it is a 45acp Pro. The modification to the Pro Mags was easy and they seem to work well and aren't obviously marked Pro Mag. Sadly the barrel is too thin to thread in my machinist's opinion.

 

[Haris1]

yes, i didnt read the 45 part
some things still apply
the 9mm failed on almost all hollowpoints
2. no brace really makes the gun less controlleable
3. you still have to watch out that your hand does not get in front of the muzzle

The stock makes it perfectly controllable. The brace was actually more comfortable than the stock but I'd never use it without a brace or stock which I guess now is the same thing. Wth 9mm I've not had any issue with HPs but I guess it must matter which brand. I prefer cheap HPs so I have been using MAGTECH 9MM 147GR HP and they work great. Also on the 9mm I use a can so it doesn't matter how short the barrel is. I agree B&Ts are better I wouldn't say there's any debate in my mind. I'm still working on a can mounting solution for 45
