The MPA930DMG is the first all-aluminum lower pistol in the new “Defender, Machined, Grip” Series.
Comer, Ga. – (January 2015) –MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA MAC Line of semi-auto pistols, carbines, suppressors and MPAR Rifles, proudly announces the MPA930DMG, the first all-aluminum lower pistol from the new DMG (Defender, Machined, Grip) Series. This 9mm pistol is based on the 930sst, but includes a fully machined aluminum pistol grip and lower receiver. The 930DMG uses our fully machined grip system matched up with an all-aluminum lower receiver – significantly reducing the overall weight of the pistol.

The Masterpiece Arms Defender (MPA930DMG) is a strange little pistol, reminiscent of a MAC-10. 'Clunky' and probably not very accurate was my first impression upon seeing a photo of this handgun. Both of those impressions were wrong. The pistol is available in Cerakote Tungsten coatings in black, dark earth brown and burnt bronze.
The 930DMG is chambered in 9mm, uses GLOCK® style magazines, has adjustable front and rear sights, has a built-in single point sling flush cup, and mounting holes for a rear fixed or side folding stock.
The MPA930DMG comes standard in “Cerakote Tungsten” coating. It is also available in Black, Gunmetal, Flat Dark Earth and Burnt Bronze Cerakote finishes. The pistol is further equipped with a side cocker, scope mount, hammer with disconnect (plus original hammer) and comes in an MPA polymer case.
Visit MasterPiece Arms at the SHOT Show at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 20 – 23, 2015. MPA will have the new MPA30DMG and their full line of products available at booth 2716.

I learned about the MasterPiece Arms MPA DMG series less than two weeks after I got my NFA stamp back for my MPA 930SST. The DMG line of MAC10 firearms takes Glock magazines. We’re a Glock household, so magazine compatibility was very intriguing to me.
I made it a point to stop by their booth at SHOT Show 2015, and I was very glad I did so. Brandon Newman from MasterPiece Arms took some time to talk with us about the new DMG line, as well as their piston-driven AR-like firearm called the MPAR.

The biggest difference is the grip angle. The MPA 30 and 930 take Sten mags, which are straight stick mags. The DMG is angled to take Glock 17 or the 33-round “Happy Stick.” This is a little bit of a downer for me, as we have G19s in the house. The She Shepherd didn’t like the grip tape on the side.
Another huge difference is that the DMG is ready to accept a SIG brace or a stock made by MPA. I still have to machine my NFA registered MAC10 to accept a stock; MPA has done all of this work for you at the factory.
As you can see, there’s a built-in QD attachment point, and three threaded holes in the back of the receiver.
Lastly, the magazine release is now on the side of the grip underneath the trigger guard. The traditional MAC design has a mag release at the bottom of the grip. I think this is a subtle but significant improvement. The safety remains unchanged.
The uppers are compatible with older 30/930 models; only the lower is different. The DMG is available only with a side cocking upper, however as Brandon told us you could put a top cocking upper on it if you wanted to. I don’t think MPA sells just the lowers.
The DMG has a bump in quality over the older traditional line. Brandon explained that the lowers are made by MasterPiece Arms, and are made out of aluminum instead of steel. The finish is much better on the DMG series, right down to the laser engraved MPA logo. Virus cleaner free mac.
The DMG comes in a ton of different colors: black, burnt bronze, flat dark earth, gunmetal, and tungsten (which I like the most). Brandon said MPA could custom finish your in whatever color you wanted.
MSRP on the DMG is $679 for either size, and it comes with a 17-round magazine and faux suppressor “safety shroud.”
The DMG should be at the top of your list if you are looking for an ultra compact pistol caliber carbine. This is especially true if you already own a Glock. If this was an option when I started my NFA Glock quest, I would have saved myself a ton of money on all three enclosures and the MPA930SST.

Brandon also wanted to show us their 5.56 AR-like pistol. Brandon was so nice I was just going to humor him about the MPAR, but by the end of our chat I was intrigued.
Similar to the Faxon Firearms ARAK series, the MPAR is piston driven. It has a non-reciprocating charging handle mounted on the left hand side. While not nearly as configurable as the ARAK, the MPAR was very well put together. It is not a lightweight by any means, but I definitely feel like it could stand up to heavy use at class.
The MPAR comes with an 11″ barrel. It accepts AR15 magazines, and has a push button mag release on the right hand side. Like the DMG series, the MPAR is ready to accept a stock once your Form 1 comes in. The MPAR is sold in 5.56/.223 right out of the factory, but you can buy a .300 Blackout barrel or a complete .300 Blackout upper. Both .300 Blackout products seem to be out of stock / backorder only at this time, but it’s a neat idea.
The MPAR starts at $949. Colors other than black are an extra $50, and it’s shipping now.
