Ideal Conceal .380 cell phone shaped handgun
The Firearm Blog ^ | 3/11/2016 | The Firearm Blog

Lightweight One-Piece Frame

Simple Design and Trouble-Free Operation

High Velocity, Increased accuracy

Hammerless construction for maximum safety.

List Price $395.00

The ground breaking Ideal Conceal is a carefully engineered double barreled .380 caliber people can safely carry in their purse or clipped to their side. Ingeniously designed to resemble a smartphone, yet with one click of the safety it opens and is ready to fire.

The product was designed with safety as a priority. A brand everyone can trust, a piece they can rely on, over and over.

The design is certainly novel, and is thinking about a better way for concealed carry. However it has very severe limitations, and unlike a handgun, I can only feasibly see this being used in a very narrow range of circumstances. But, if those narrow circumstances require something like this, then the concept will have succeeded. Of course, this is dependent on the concept getting off the ground and into initial testing and production.

Be very, very careful when answering the phone.

if I tried to pistol-whip someone with that, it wouldn’t even hurt

“He was going for his cell phone. I had to shoot.”

I don’t think this is such a great idea.

“Here, hold my beer.” What could possibly go wrong with this?

That problem already exists, with derringers and other smallish pistols. The only way to know a person isn't holding something is to see the open palms of their hands. Holding ANYTHING is potentially a deadly object, with varying degrees of likelihood, depending on the person and the circumstances.

I think this is a plot to give the police an excuse to take away your phone, or arrest you, or shoot you, when you try to video them.

If you put a .380, in my case, a S&W Bodyguard and a Keltec P3AT, (Yes! I carry two) in a pocket holster, it looks like you have a wallet in your back or front pocket.

But, I like the design of the derringer-like pistol you've pictured.

I have gone to a S&W Bodyguard as my deep conceal carry (restaraunts, dress settings etc) and really like it. With the small magazine grip extension it fits comfortably in my hand and is so thin it is easy to hide. The trigger on it just sucks though, the first stage is 90% of the pull...

Like ‘they’ say.

NEVER NEVER NEVER hand someone a loaded gun.

UNLESS, of course, she asked you for the hair dryer.

Now you can hand them the phone and say ‘It is for you’

Does it automatically dial 911 when fired?

... even when your hands are empty and you are lying unconscious.

Warnings about appearing aggressive didn’t sound stupid before small video cameras and YouTube.

That innocent era is gone forever.

Yeah, whatever happened to that thing. Look really cool years ago, wonder if it ever went into production? Would buy.
