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!

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.
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'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 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.
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)
