When someone mentions Masterpiece Arms a lot of people will instantly think of their MAC-11 clone pistols and carbines. MPA also sells precision rifle chassis systems as well as competition 2011-style pistols in their DS9 series. Up until recently the color pallet of said pistol offerings has left something to be desired, but now MPA has released new DS9 pistol color options.
