L@@K !!!NEW MAC 9's for $260!!! L@@K

They are brand new & shipped!!! I was wondering if these are a good deal since i know nothing about them. I looked on gunbroker and the used ones are $300 and beat up. I think im going to get one but ill wait till tomarow and see if i still want it. I need to know before i buy, seems like a good deal to me. I want a handgun just to shoot at stuff on the farm and for plinking, i figured it would be a good choice for the money and practicality. I DONT need it for target practice since i have a MAK-90 and SKS...just to demolish stuff. THANKS FOR L@@KING!!!

Does it realy matter WHO makes it??? It doesnt say on the Centerfire websight...im going to call them tomorrow and see what manufacture makes it. I want it for the bad@$$ looks and shock value for my friends and family!!!

Its made by Vulcan...I just called them. Plus S&H, FFL transfer, and insurance thats a grand total of $302.25. Not bad from what i have seen on the web for a brand new Mac-9!!!

Good luck. Yes, it does matter who makes it. Crap is crap. Quality is quality.

well im sure its okay for just plinking. look at it this way, a Mac 9/10 is a Mac 9/10. Its not an MP5. For plinking that is just fine

There also may be fixes for them if you'd rather put sweat equity in than extra dollars.

So whats wrong with the Vulcan??? What problems do these guns pose??? How does the bolt shoot the rounds to your face??? Can you get an addapter plate so the rounds dont bounce off yoour face??? Im kinda thinking about a XD-40...may as well spend money on something good than something that will fall apart...but the Mac-9 is still a cool looking gun!!!

Iv been reading about the XD-40's and from what i hear they are the way to go. How many round mags can you get??? I like the tactical OD green ones...id get a laser to put on that bad boy!!! Realy what are the differences between the Glock and the XD's??? Evedently they are the same gun but the XD is more accurate or something from what i can read...What is the difference in price vs. functionality???

the glock is just more proven and better knoown. i can tell you with certainty that more Law enforcement use glocks than xd's! I can stand corrected though, but i say that pretty confidently. xD's are still good though. if you want something to just burn up ammo and have fun at the range get 9mm. it will still stop people if you need it to.

I have a vulcan 9mm MAC clone and other than a few inital teething problems it has shot and worked fine. Dont let the vulcan haters scare you away. Its a fun bullet hose but accuracy is kinda lacking. For a range toy and short range plinker its a blast.

I've seen cobray's on gunbroker go for less, I would be patient and get one of those...these don't take the cobray mags, so yer stuck with the 15rd, unless you can find others. And what is with that site...they have a ton of guns that they will not backorder...yet they are still listed...why not just take them off the site.
