Howdy, I'm wondering if you guys had heard about this guy from St Paul who came up with a new gun design. It's in development now and looks interesting. Just to quell any potential issues, I am not affiliated with this group in any way. I thought it interesting that a "hometown" guy had come up with an innovation.
Anyway, here is the link.

Here is a copy of my PM to the guy who is developing the weapon from the THR website I found the original reference.

Thanks for your time.
Yes, I have come up with a new carry gun (after 5 years of development). I can't tell you too much about it because the patent won't be filed until Jan 20th, but I can tell you this:
Caliber: 9mm
Capacity: 7+1
Action: Rotating-barrel Locked breech
Length: 5.8"
Height: 4.2:
Width: .95"
Barrel Length: 4.2" (not a typo)
Weight: 19.5 oz
I did this because I was fed up with the lack of power of all the pocket guns out there. I wanted a gun with no compromises.
Some stats:
Kinetic energy with Cor-bon 100gr Pow'rBall: 539 fpe (Glock 26 hit 464 fpe - not bad, but a larger gun)
28% more energy than Kahr PM9 averging 47 types of 9mm
7% more energy than a Sig P226 averaging 47 types of 9mm
So far, I have made 1.9" groups at 15 yards, but I'm no marksman.
All other info will be presented at the Shot Show Starting Feb 2nd at 8:30 AM at booth 5191. If you are not attending, then there will most likely be some media fanfare with a link to my site (which will go live just before the show). In any case, I will log in to THR either during the show or after the show and post some pics and provide the link.
Thanks for your interest.
