Looks like I missed Crucible Arms' review of it, but they had a link on Boberg's page. Interesting little firearm.

A buddy saw it at a show in Minneapolis, said its actually smaller than his LCR. He wants one but, he said when he saw the $1000+ tag thought twice. I myself rather have my Coonan for THAT price!

Selling the sizzle site turns me off. Reminds me of the veg-o-matic booth at the state fair.

I have one, it is of the highest quality construction, mine is the short first edition, it is the size of a kel-tec p3at .380 but is a 9m/m with a 3.3" brl., it has the best d a trigger I have ever used, also about 1/2 the felt recoil of a Kel-Tec pf9.
Mine lives in my coat pocket most of the time.
They also make a longer one now and also a .45acp, if you stop at the shop in White Bear Arne will gladly give you a tour.

Thanks for that, old guy.

This one has been on my short list to buy for a while now, I just haven't had the funds to get it ... or anything else on my short list...

But it is good to hear someone's person experience with it.

Does anyone stock these? I see on their site that just about every store in the metro is a dealer, but are they in stores, or is it an order-only thing?

I think I saw some at Bill's in Circle Pines yesterday.

I want to say I saw one at Gunstop a couple of weeks back. You will definitely want to call them unless you were planning to stop by anyway.

I've seen 'em around and read up on them a bit. Just about everything on the website. It's certainly a novel concept.
From what I've read though, they are picky eaters. Boberg's response seems to be that they're a work in progress. If you find a kink, send it in and they'll fix it and upgrade it to the latest revisions......

Sounds like beta testing to me, which is fine. But dropping a grand to participate in a product development study, no matter how cool, isn't compatible with my wallet at the moment.

I'll have to wait until the stars align.

I don't know how he is doing it now, I was on the list a couple of years ago for the second bunch that went out, I got on the list in Nov. and got notified in May or June, I picked up thru Al's gunshop in W.B.

Thanks, guys!

Has a nasty habit of pulling the bullet out of the chambered round. Not recommended.

(Yeah, I know that Boberg says this only happens with certain ammo. I don't care - any gun which is dependent on specific brands of ammo to function is too finicky for me)

[Squib Joe]

Bill's has them at all locations, including some fancy ones and the new 45ACP model. Also rental guns to try out

I tried one last year. Novel but wasn't sold on it. I felt like I was getting a lot more muzzle rise out of it than a traditional gun like say an XDS.
