Don't discount those ugly .380 Mac11. A major complaint of LE is that those "cheap" guns work, no matter how primatively assembled they are.
While they may be crude when compared to the HK, Patchett (Sterling), M1928, they are specialized SMGs with a different mission. In case you didn't know, those .380 have a higher rate of fire (1100-1200 rpm as opposed to the 600 rpm of the HK) and were designed to be used in urbanized environments (executive protection).
Put a wood stock and a supressor on it and you've got one very controllable little gun which is great for bodyguard work. It's up to the end user to seek the proper instruction and practice to a level of proficiency with it. Remember, it's a different weapon for a different mission.
Rob, you're fortunate you can even consider buying one. I'd have to move to NV myself.
