Have the itch for a .45 carbine, and can't decide which direction to go. Anybody have experience with both of these?

I say vector. I’ve shot one and they are fun to shoot. ARs do nothing for me anymore, but have been eyeing the banshee in 5.7

Id go Vector. The pistol calibers in ARs fad is over. Way better PCC options out there.

I had a Vector in 10mm and with my full house reloads it would rattle my teeth when I shot it lol. But it’s a very cool design and wouldn’t mind getting another in 45ACP to match my Scorpion in 9mm. I love ARs but pistol caliber ARs do nothing for me, for something with that footprint with a non folding stock it just makes more sense for a rifle caliber a 7” 300BLK is killer compared to the pistol caliber rounds in the same size gun.

I love my 10mm banshee. It’s a go to SxS gun. 30 round Glock mags filled with underwood Xtreme hunters, Trijicon MRO on top, and a hybrid 46 hanging off the end

I have the 10mm Banshee and like it. Its hard on brass if you reload not a hot load gun but did fid a load that didnt destroy brass. Should not be a issue with 45acp. Glock mags also easy to get and fairly cheap. Have not had any issues with functions of the Banshee.
