    Nice. Ive never heard of this brand but after doing some google searches this looks pretty awesome.

    The price is a little bit out of my range. Im currently considering the Kahr CM9 for a 9mm pocket carry.

    It's definitely a cool design. More barrel length means more velocity out of the same overall slide length, so that's a good thing. I'll be curious how the reliability turns out as more and more of the guns enter the market. A radically different design and a new manufacturer means I wouldn't trust my life to a first generation model without some substantial testing first, but the design is certainly quite intriguing.

    I'd imagine with +p loads that will punish your hands almost as bad as shooting .357s out of a J frame smith. Muzzle flip should be quite substantial. But that much power in that small a package is very cool.

    Sweet little gun. First time I have heard of it too. I like the design but also dont know if I would trust my life to a first gen gun.

    Crazy interesting design. I have been following this one since its introduction. Don't know how I feel about the action but I love the ingenuity. This is what will keep the gun industry moving forward.

    Let us know how she fires!
