Angstadt Arms UDP-45 Pistol Caliber Carbine

January 29, 2018 By G&A Staff

On the final day of SHOT Show 2018, OSG live stream host Michael Bane met up with Rich Angstadt of Angstadt Arms to discuss the all-new UDP-45 Pistol Caliber Carbine and talk some company history.

With pistol caliber carbines the primary focus of Angstadt's North Carolina-based company over the last four years, this new .45 ACP model impressed Bane and other gun writers and industry reviewers that were walking the crowded aisles of the 40^th anniversary SHOT Show in Las Vegas.

According to Angstadt, while the new UDP-45 is built around the Glock .45 caliber magazine, it accepts all .45 double-stack magazines.

With the firearm's upper receiver and lower crafted from 7075 billet aluminum, the UDP-45 also features a clear and crisp Holosun optics unit on top, a high-powered flashlight on top, and a rugged suppressor.

With less recoil than a standard AR15 rifle, the new UDP-45 from Angstadt Arms is a great choice for shooters looking to punch targets on the range, to enter the world of competition shooting, or have a dependable weapon for home defense.

Accuracy testing a rifle begins with building a good shooting position. Too often, shooters so focused on shooting and what's happening at the target that they never learn how to create a solid shooting foundation. Without that foundation, we introduce accuracy-degrading variables into our marksmanship. Here are some rifle accuracy testing tips to get you headed in the right direction.
