I like the looks of the MPA Carbine. This gun would serve for both a hunting and Home defense. After watching you blast through that brick wall I’m concerned that the .460 is just too much power for home defense. What would you say is the effective range of the .460 carbine? CorBon has been making an effective .45acp @ 165gr, any thoughts on loading the .460 that light? How about a using a more aerodynamic bullet like the .460 Ruger? I also notice that the MPA carbine comes with an .45acp upper, which is nice, but the “tactical” model doesn’t , do you know why? Also, one of these carbines lists for basically a $1,000.00 which seems high. not sure what your relationship with MPA is but any leads as to where I could pick one up for less than MRSP or used would be appreciated.

We have a “Defense Load” from Georgia Arms that I developed specifically for home defense with less penetration and recoil than the full powered load. This load is still far beyond other pistol calibers, but is an excellent choice for home and self defense. And, yes we are looking into a 165 gr bullet loaded for home defense. Keep an eye on the site.
The $999 carbine package comes with two carbine uppers and scope and case. Of course, you might want to start with the pistol and convert it later on into a carbine.
