MasterPiece Arms Protector II MPA380

Once MasterPiece Arms decided to build the Protector Series of sub-compact double action only pistols, they chose to stay with what has proven to work best when building a quality firearm; CNC machined parts from solid steel and no short cuts. The quality built and beautifully designed MPA32 and MPA380 Protector Series pistols are available in all Black or with a Stainless Steel upper slide. Both the precision upper slide and lower receiver are machined from solid billets of steel, no castings or polymers of any kind are used. When assembled, they become one of the highest quality firearms available in this class.
