That's a very handy reference but it doesn't list the RPB M11A1 which were built late in RPB's history. When RPB bought the MAC receivers at auction, they built the .380 MAC-11 (and over stamped them with their information along with the MAC-10s), until they ran out of ready to build frames. At that point, they renamed the small frame guns M11A1s, a model designation SWD also used.This always helps me keep it straight.

does anybody know where to get an origional (non R.P.B.) ingram mac 11 (m11a1)? they seem to be very rare and i can only find one for sale on the whole internet.
It's not the cost of the weapon, it's the availability and cost of mags.
I've seen some crazy prices on M11A1 mags.
