M-1 Enforcer Pistol

[ohen cepel]

Does anyone have any experience with the Enforcer pistol based on the M-1 carbine?

Read in another old thread that few of the parts are interchangable with the M-1's. Is that correct?

I know there are a ton of other options out there. I just like cheap hi-cap mags

Most of the Enforcer's were later production Universal Products guns. The Universal carbines were somewhat different than GI production. There are significant differences, in the gas cylinder, for instance. Most parts will interchange, but may need more fitting to accept GI parts.

You question started me thinking about buying one of the new Springfield Armory Carbine receivers, and building it as an Enforcer. I think that as long as the receiver was never assembled as a long gun, it would be legal to make it up as a pistol. Maybe something for us to think about.

I carried one in the Everglades for nearly a year, out in the bush most of the time. I found mine to be quite pleasant to shoot, quite accurate, fully dependable, and VERY comforting... they are seldom for sale! I've only seen one for sale anywhere in the last ten years and it was beat up badly. I prefer the Iver Johnson, others differ.

I like the idea of the build up. Let me know what you find on doing that. Perhaps I may have one built if it flies as legal.

Here's the way it goes for AR pistols anyway. If the receiver was never a part of an assembled preban pistol it can't be used to recreate another. You can't use a postban or preban rifle receiver to build a pistol. There's a weight limit on a postban pistol that accepts removeable mags. Oly arms built a postban pistol that had a permanent mag loaded with stripper clips. They currently build a "swiss cheese" lookin thing to beat the weight limit. Professional Ord. makes one (which I have) made of composite also to beat weight prob.. I don't think your pistol idea is legal.
Concider AR TYPE pistol. Ammo is cheaper, if you don't reload.

I had one for a year or so. REALLY fun pistol, and comforting to have in the car for roadtrips. Very low recoil, but the muzzle blast was pretty serious with some ammo. Mine was rather picky about magazines; worked fine with 15 rnd, but lots of jams with 30s. Also would not feed any SP ammo.

Cool gun overall. I wish that i had not ever sold mine. See them down here for sale every now and then, but often in the $500 - 600 range.
