I did a search and didn't find anything, so is anyone familiar with the TNW Firearms Aero Survival "Rifle" (actually a pistol caliber carbine, obviously). I have checked out the manufacturer's website, and a few reviews, links below, but I would welcome any first-hand experience from the collective.

I originally found reference to it on a thread on another forum about the Mag Tactical LDR Nano 9mm Carbine.

But this one seems to have issues, per some other posts from other forums, and the apparent lack of a manufacturer's website:

Previously, the most similar carbine I was aware of were the Feather models.

I would also be interested in any firsthand experience with the Mag Tactical and Feather, or other similar "packable" pistol caliber carbines, but the TNW seems like it might be the best option for several reasons, including the successful use of Glock magazines.

I have also considered a Beretta Storm, even though it does not break down for storage and transport in a smaller package, and having handled one I was impressed with the ergonomics, but the apparent lack of reliable high capacity magazines is a deal killer - unless someone knows of a source for said magazines (other than Promag).

Thanks in advance gents.

The TNW is very interesting.  


That being said If I were to go out of the box ready it would be a Kel tec Sub 2000 for a PCC in the value category of bang vs buck

AR style I would have to build my own.

I have thought about the Sub 2000, but using an optic precludes being able to fold it, and it doesn't come in .45acp.

It doesn't come in .45" ACP.  There are several methods of mounting an optic - either offset, or the most interesting being the rotating forend by Red Lion Precision.

I have the TNW ASR. Had it for some time, its one of the first 150 made.
I also have a Beretta Storm CX-4...one of the early ones when they first came out.
I have had every generation of a Kel-Tec Sub from the original Sub9 (the best) to the current Gen 2 Sub2000.
Oh, I also have a JRC, a Marlin Camp 9 and even a Hi-Point 995TS.

The Sub2k is a novelty gun for me. Its reliable and light. Its ergonomics are not the best. You need to shoot one. You can put different hand guards on with fancy flip around optics but then you have a low priced gun that you have now sunk a lot of money into.

The TNW is a much nicer gun to shoot. Even though its trigger is less than perfect its better than the Sub's. Its built much better than the Sub and it does break down. Mine is reliable and doesn't give me any problems if I keep the barrel tight. They actually make a new forearm for it that locks down the barrel nut but you can't remove the barrel quickly by hand any longer if you install that.

The JRC is heavy compared to both of the above but its an accurate, dependable and smooth shooting rifle. Love mine.

The Beretta CX-4 is accurate, stone reliable and small and compact. Reliable hi-cap mags are made by Beretta and sell for just a few bucks more than factory Glock mags. Also, there are a ton of affordable choices out there. My favorite is the 18 round MecGar. They are nice and short and don't protrude out of the stock so they are out of the way. I have always believed if you need more than 18 rounds you are a piss-poor shot or should just learn how to quickly swap mags.   But yes, I have 30 rounders for her and they work flawlessly.

The ASR and JRC can be quickly and easily converted to other calibers. Also there is a forearm for the JRC that allows you to quickly remove the barrel of the rifle to make it compact. You can buy the rifle that way now I believe.
