Hera Arms 1911 A1 .45 Carbine Conversion

[THEOZ2106]

Will it fit a Kimber 45ACP?Inbox me plz....

[IIDASHII]

Spend MORE on an already expensive gun? No thanks. I'll stick with purpose built carbines.

[1975acidburn]

@hamsterspown check academy sporting goods I bought 10 round mag for my .45 for 25$

[hamsterspown]

does anyone know what that mag he used first is called, ive been looking for a 1911 extended mag with no luck but the promag with bad reviews

[mrsentry08]

Ugh!!!!!!!!! Why does the Hera for the 1911 look so much cooler than the Hera for the glock it's cool but this one looks way better!

[turboturtle22]

i like how the ejector shoots brass in every direction

[roach182008]

1911 should stay original

[firefox8192]

HOW much does one of these cost and where?

[crispycritterz]

That thing's ugly..... I like that.

[GunfightersINC]

I want one for my HK

[smirnoff225]

@GunfightersINC ..... for the HK P30 it shouldnt be a problem :)

[GunfightersINC]

@smirnoff225 no I have a USP Tactical with AAC Suppressor, It would be nice to mount it in something like this.

[Tekwerk]

Wow, what an abortion of a gun.

[gregsteele1]

whats the point

[marshaul]

Hey could you change mags any slower?

:p

[smirnoff225]

@marshaul ...we tried, but the shooter felt asleep while exercising :)

[MrIloveceltics]

will this fit with an 1911 a2 40 cal or 9mm????????????

[HackNamara]

What would necessitate that, a few family members of mine have .45's and are thinking about carbine converting them. what is the advantage?

[John234pwns]

You running ProMag 14 rounders? Don't those have some reliability issues?

[smirnoff225]

@John234pwns ....yes, but i still like the shape :) With a bit of milling work and a truck load of oil i got it working.

[John234pwns]

@smirnoff225 Ah. Could you ever put up a how-to on that? I think there's a lot of interest out there for getting them reliable.

[smirnoff225]

@John234pwns ...to be honest, i destroyed 2 to get 1 working :) not rocket scientist. I opend it, polished the inside with a dremel, took away the molding marks and sprayed teflon in it. Its also realates to the pistols, i have 4 1911´s here and the mag is working in 2 of them. The other 2 wont accept it at all.

...sorry that i dont have better news.

[smirnoff225]

@John234pwns ....wait a second. I thought you were talking about the DRUM MAGS from pro-mag. These ones needed the work i descriped below. The magazines in the video are working fine out of the box. I did not had a issue with them.

[John234pwns]

@smirnoff225 Oh, right. Any minor imperfections inside them none the less?

[thekinghtswhosayni42]

that thing is bad buns!!!

[dragonflammable]

where did you get that barrel i live in california so it is a pain the fuckin ass to get any good gun accessories

[chieffy35]

do you know if these are legal in canada

[daw2501]

@chieffy35 Apparently it is. There's a blog called Coyote School, based in Alberta, and he did a review on this stock. Might want to contact him to get the name of the Canadian importer.

[DaedalEVE]

Is it just a form 1 to get the pistol SBR'd?

[bluebear668]

Is there carbine conversion or a sniper rifle conversion for Derringer?

I want to make my Derringer big! From a small pocket pistol to a cannon while retaining the same firing power. I don't mind paying 10 times of the Derringer more for this genius kit.

[Antiworld23]

I know, lets make a device that can be added to a sidearm to make it weigh 10x more, have it be larger and less compact, and double or triple to cost of said sidearm...

Who the hell thinks of this? This is supid, use a pistol as a pistol. If you want a carbine, buy a carbine. They make AR15s in 9mm AND 45 ACP.

[curseofa5r5a]

what about accuracy?

[donmon95]

does it tear up the finishes

[damachofrmBC]

Hi, Do you need a FFL to buy this unit?

[smirnoff225]

@damachofrmBC No, its a free part.

[damachofrmBC]

@smirnoff225 How about putting in a 16'' barrel for a 1911, will that require any gunsmithing/fitting? I'm really interested in purchasing either this unit or the mech tech ccu and want to find out which is better.

[Pier2pie]

@smirnoff225 whats an ffl?

[alaskafresh]

If you have a 16 inch barrel would you need to go through anything putting this on it like stamps or taxes?

[smirnoff225]

@alaskafresh

As long as you install it with the 16 inch barrel, no. Then its not an SBR.

[alaskafresh]

@smirnoff225 Where can I purchase one?

[goldeneye007662]

@smirnoff225 Does anyone MAKE a 16" barrel for 1911's?

[smirnoff225]

@goldeneye007662

yes, in the us i found one at Sarco,inc for around 70$. In Europe the austrian company IGB makes them too.

[dakingofdanoobs]

that is one beefed up pistol

[zeuz9009]

i want one!!

[TheKentuckykid9513]

If it meant to be fired from the shoulder and a sixteen inch barrel make it a carbine these are federal laws so if you want to get this you'll have to pay a 200 tax fee for a short barreled rifle, but the good news if you don't want to worry about all those ATF forms and what no just get a 16 inch barrel fir a 1911 yes they do have them. You might want to check with your local laws they might add some restrictions to carbine clasification(life foregrips)

[roopdaug]

what makes a gun count as a carbine?

[smirnoff225]

Depends on your local laws.

[Deadcell205]

why not just by a normal rifle. this doesnt look very practicle tbh.

[lilHamminator]

@Deadcell205 Why not just bother with leaving comments on this video?

[29Abillgrrr]

why should anyone take this modified 1911 or whatever is instead of an mp5 or somethin?

[shitpickle1128]

because an mp5 is a total different gun this is a conversion kit and its a 45 caliber or if your 1911 can change to a 22 platform even better you can use your 1911 as a pistol and a carbine also it just preference and if the person likes it or not

[GadgetsNGear]

how do you rack the slide?

[smirnoff225]

With the charging-handle on the side. It chatches the slide on the front. There are pictures on the hera-homepage from the other side of the stock if you might want to take a look.

[smirnoff225]

watch?v=UCUB5QN1OYU

[fatwhiteman]

Is this not legal as long as you get your NFA paperwork and pay your tax?

[smirnoff225]

Either that or you use a 16" barrel.

[roguefullyyours]

This is illegal in the US but just the pistol, which is more concealable, is legal. More examples of stupid, nonsensical American gun laws which should be repealed!

[smirnoff225]

In the US you can easily purchase a .45 16" barrel for less than 70$. That makes it absolutely legal. As a example there is a OD stock with a long barrel on the HERA site. There is also a longer front tube available to cover this barrel. This is one possibility, the other one is to register it as a SBR.

But you are right, this is a stupid law :)

[Beachhead88]

Nice, what brad of mags were those hi caps? I can only find 10 round Chip M cormick ones.

[smirnoff225]

I think they are from Pro-Mag. They also make a 25 round drum for the 1911 but mine needed a bit work till it worked.
