Yea or nay?

Well, that's an interesting mechanism. Most of my WWII bolt guns can be loaded with stripper clips. Solid history. 20 rounds, depending on the state, would certainly be enough to solve any problem. I would be worried about over penetration. Other than that, I would go yay. Looks fairly rugged. I'd be interested to see some reviews.

Neat, something different. The clips remind me of the Mauser C96 aka The Broomhandle. The pic is of a 9mm version.




MSRP is $399.00 which is reasonable, but ammo is probably expensive.

So..... under 1 inch thick, under 14 ounces, a 4.64 inch barrel, and holds 20 rounds---ok, you've got my attention! It has some potential. It would be a great backpacking/hiking gun. And I can see a lot of economically challenged people going for it!

I like the concept, especially the rotating barrel design which is proven to reduce felt recoil and give faster and more accurate follow up shots. The caliber/cartridge of this pistol should also yield less danger of over penetration and ricochet in the case of a miss. 20+1 would be adequate for CCL and self defense especially since the gun will be too slow to reload as it doesn't have a replaceable magazine. It will also be immune from the present laws limiting hi cap replaceable magazines.

Probably not for me at this point but pop an RDO on top and give us a few more laws limiting the round count of hi cap replaceable magazines and I'm more than interested.

VooDoo

I'd buy one if I had a regular supply of the ammo. The price is right and I agree with Hiker it would make a handy kit gun. I doubt we'll ever see it in CA, I'd have to move to a free state t buy one.

Keltec makes some of the ugliest Tupperware on earth. Absolutely hideous. But they are quite innovative. I'd love to have one of those ugly ducklings, but there's no way that ever comes to California short of an act of congress.

I just think it looks cool.

Agree, it will be declared evil by the Bloomberg funded propaganda machine and never appear on the Roster.

Tupperware. >giggle<

I like it. I value the idea of a cartridge that is not as prone to over-expansion and ricochet damage. The biggest turn-off has been the size of the pistols that use it. While I understand that this round needs a long barrel to perform optimally, I still value a compact package.

In all, I will give it some thought and it may be worth going to a gun show to hold one and see how it feels.
