How about a fully electric pistol? Press one button and the motors inside pull up a round from the magazine, fire the round and ejects the spent cartridge without having to pull the slide to chamber the first round or worry about squeezing the trigger properly. Maybe you could hack the firmware to get full auto :-).

My 1911 works just fine for now, arthur-itis and all (age 64).

To anyone considering this gadget, first try:

1/ Buying quality ammo that feeds well in your gun (so as to avoid malfunctions). For example, Berettas don’t seem to like Winchester white box but usually work fine on Remington green box.
2/ Cleaning your gun once in a while.
3/ Carrying around an O’Bamma “change” sign - nailed to a baseball bat. ;o)
