THAT is going to get a lot of people accidentally shot by LEOs...which was probably the plan all along, Right?

Is this really true?

[Reno89519]

I want one! Great CCW choice for those situations when space and concealment are limited. I’ll buy one!

[Obadiah]

The accuracy on that has to be near zero.

[Buttons12]

Can you select the bang tones?

[BereanBrain]

This is fake news designed so Police can shoot anybody so bold as to record them on their phones

That thing is thicker than the very first iPhone I had. Looking at the bore size it should have been a double barrel .410!

[RoseofTexas]

Wow! How come these aren't outlawed like all the plastic children's hand guns?...just wondering no need for spitfire!! ...my flame retardant suit is at the cleaners anyhows...🤗

You’ll shoot your ear off, kid.

Website says it’s a .380. Still in development.

[Scrambler Bob]

The accuracy on that has to be near zero.
= = =

Won’t matter if the range is also near zero.

This thing has been kicking around for a year now. If a two shot .380 that takes two hands and more than a little fiddling to put into play floats your boat, go for it.

I'll stick with one of Mr. Gaston's finest.

Police already have been using cellphone in hand or on belt as a reason to shoot. Some very high profile police shootings over the past dozen years or so were of people holding cell phones or wallets. To some police, anything in hand is necessarily a gun and is necessarily pointing at the officer.

[arthurus]

At ten feet with a laser, accuracy is not terribly important and that sort of distance is the likely scenario.

What is the battery life?

Kidding, bump to read later.

[Zarro]

Correct. Here’s their web site for more info:

Okay, maybe for a deep conceal back-up, but otherwise I’ll stick with my daily carry .45 rather than trust my life with that toy.

[Reno89519]

Just called them. Got clueless answer service that wants name and phone number. Anyway, it did seem that this is still a prototype that should be ready for production end of first quarter 2017. Pre-sale purchases through dealers are already closed, whatever that means. Odd business model, get word out about gun but don’t take orders. (Figure they’ll never ship anything, probably an anti-gun scam.)
