This video provides an expert overview of Colt's latest offerings at SHOT Show 2026, including the Enhanced Patrol Rifle (EPR) and new M4/M5 Braced Pistols. The EPR is highlighted for its modern upgrades based on law enforcement feedback, featuring an M-LOK rail and durable Magpul Pro sights. The M4 and M5 braced pistols are introduced with a focus on their control configurations, with the M5 boasting a fully ambidextrous lower receiver. Pricing and availability are also discussed.
The LWRCI SMG-45 is presented as a modern alternative to the H&K UMP-45, featuring a smoother shooting experience due to its short recoil system with a reciprocating barrel. It offers significant customization potential with AR-15 trigger and grip compatibility. The firearm boasts fully ambidextrous controls, an 8.5-inch barrel with a 5/8x28 thread for suppressors, and comes equipped with Magpul Pro sights and an SB Tactical folding brace.
This review of the LWRC SMG 45, conducted by an expert firearms instructor, highlights significant accuracy issues despite excellent build quality and familiar AR-15 ergonomics. The analysis points to the short recoil operating system as the likely cause of vertical stringing and flyers, making it a questionable choice for its $3,000 price point compared to competitors.
