Need some suggestions please. I sold off my mac 45 but kept the old bowers suppressor for that subgun. I am searching for a 45 carbine I could use this suppressor with - Any suggestions?
 
Do you want an actual carbine (that is legally, 16” plus) or a SBR or braced pistol?

CMMG makes a delayed blowback .45 ACP. It is the Banshee in pistol form, I think it has a different name as a carbine. I have a Banshee I SBR’d and I’m very happy with it.

The B&T GHM45 is really nice. I also SBR’d one, though it is only available as a pistol, so no 16” option.

The Hi-Point 4595 comes with a threaded barrel and is surprisingly fun for what it is.

There was a Beretta CX4 Storm in .45 but I believe those are out of production.

Overall, choices in 45 are a lot more limited than 9mm. Luckily you can use a 45 can on a 9mm carbine too.
 
I built an AR-45 pistol using a QC10 Glock lower. I’m using an Octane 45K on it and have an upper from JSE Surplus with a ~5.5” (cut down from 10” IIRC) barrel.
 
There are some kits from pro a2 that look interesting. That would save a little money. But that banshee product seems to have worked out all the timing issues i may encounter. Thats beginning to seem as the way to go for a suppressed 45 acp carbine/pistol. Anyone agree or disagree?

There isn’t much in the 45 platform. I have a vector sbr and it’s chunky. I was going to get a tommybuilt tp45 but the price difference over the banshee did it for me. I paid $1500 for the banshee and their products are solid. I have two other banshees that run great suppressed.

And Rhineland Arms are still selling kits to convert Enfields and Mausers to this minus the suppressor. If I ever find the right mutilated Masuer for the right money that's my plan!

You certainly won't find anything quieter!

I'll second this. I have an braced RMW Extreme Direct impingement AR in 45 with the GG lower and like it but I'm trying to find the RDB kit in 5" barrel to compare the two.

@wired didn't you have an RMW 45 at one time?

The only draw back is finding the mags which can be found but it just takes some looking. This one has an 8" barrel that I want to cut down to 5" for weight and length savings. I'm hitting 6" plates at 100 standing unsupported without issue with the reddot.

Gun bag with fun sticks. I think it'll hold 8 vs the just the 6 here.

Mine is an RMW lower gun with the CMMG upper. To be honest I like the reproduction grease gun mags that keep shooting sells. I think theyre better than GI mags. $35 a pop when you buy 5 or more. I just cut them on my mill to fit the latch or Ron will do them for free at RMW. Mine has a 5" rotary delay barrel I cut down from a 16" .

ok cool. yes this one is an RMW barrel, bcg, and lower that I put together about 10 yrs ago and before the RDB kit. All I have are the GI mags (blued and park'd) that I've cut the latch into with a drill and dremel that form a nice tight lockup with no wiggle. I plan to cut a few down to make some "truck friendly" mags one day.

Grease gun mags have gotten out of control price-wise. The real GI ones anyway. 25 years ago you can get those things for seven bucks a pop all day in wrap. Had 20 or so for my old Mac 10 SMG.

I think Ruger could sell a TON of cheap pistol caliber Americans. Factory threaded barrels and pistol mag compatibility like their pcc would sell even more.

Fantasy land would be. Making a mini action for them and chambering from 9mm-45acp, .357, 45lc, 10mm, etc.

They already have an m77 in 357 and 44mag. Be still my beating heart😍

I'd really like to see a pump action carbine in something other than rimfire.
