I looked at the company page.
To fire, you must have the two safeties on the side depressed (like the grip safety on a 1911), and then hit the button on top.
For aiming, it uses a laser designator.

MAPLEWOOD, N.J., A New Jersey firm said its Palm Pistol -- a gun "specifically designed for women, seniors and [the] disabled" -- will be available in December.
The T-handled screw driver-inspired Palm Pistol .38 SPL defensive gun, created by Constitution Arms of Maplewood, N.J., is scheduled for release in December of this year after 9 years of development, the company said.
The company said the single-shot weapon was specially designed to be used by "women, seniors and [the] disabled" -- particularly those affected by arthritis -- and is triggered by a button pressed by the thumb instead of an index finger trigger.
"It is an adaptive aid intended for seniors, disabled or others with grip limitations due to hand strength, manual dexterity or phalangeal amputions. The zero bore axis eliminates muzzle rise during firing and directs recoil forces directly into the palm. It can be fired using the thumb or combinations of other fingers," the company said.
The planned device made headlines in 2008 when it was temporarily classified as a "medical device" eligible for Medicare coverage by the FDA. The designation was later rescinded by the agency.
The company said the initial 500 Palm Pistols will be priced at $1,350 each.
Stick it in their ribs?
Why not between their legs? up high.
You don’t want them reproducing.
I like the way you think.

Actually, if you are out of bullets, that would increase the impact of your punch, or, inflict some damage dragging the barrel across an attackers body/face.

Hey Joe, maybe you could orient that graphic for the benefit of gang bangers?
The Chiappa Rhino is much better and cost tons less cash. Still, I’m attracted to the oddness of the piece, but the PRICE!?!
sweet, petite, and very very neat.

Top of the belly, just below rib cage, thrust upwards. Takes out the diaphragm, heart or lung, aorta, or something vital.
Now THAT’S gangsta!
