INTERESTING VIDEO

It has 22 rounds of 9mm in its magazine.

Illegal in how many states?

[American in Israel]

Constitutionally, or fake laws?

[itsahoot]

Seems more of a novelty which makes getting it out and ready a bit more complex.

Didn't watch the video did you?

Looks like a pocket lint trap fail. But serviceable with a custom holster. It’s odd shape might keep the looky-loos calm. But for ccw, in court it would then be ruled as open carry against you.

[gundog]

I think they mean 22 rounds of 9 mm.

[JimRed]

Constitutionally, or fake laws?

Unconstitutional state laws which the Court is declining to address.

“Not impressed.
THIS is IMPRESSIVE’

That’s nothing. I had THIS when I turned 6:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUucZYD7vGI

[TalonDJ]

Why? Carried IWB it takes up less space unfolded. What is the point in making it harder to deploy?

[American in Israel]

Well then I guess I will have to decide since they can’t seem to be able to read.

I have not shot a gun in years. Let’s hope that remains a option.

Wasn't interested enough to watch the video - the shape when folded says it needs a special holster to try to make it easy to draw and auto weapons can have enough issues w/o adding an extra hinge and locking mechanism.

Not my cup of tea but I have no problem with it being available for those who enjoy such novelties.

It was actually a very smooth operation. Never too old to learn.

Will take your word for it - at 65, I probably won't be buying any more weapons so I don't really have a relevant opinion on the latest innovations.

That said, never been a fan of Glock except for the fact they seem to be very reliable as far as spitting projectiles out - they feel too "clunky" in my hand.

[central_va]

According to today’s CCW crowd unless you have a round in the chamber and the safety on then your carry weapon is useless. Unfolding the thing is OUT OF THE QUESTION.

At 79 I won't either.

I own no Glocks, only thing that interested me was the 22 round capacity and how they manage that. I was surprised at how well they did it and yet maintained conceal-ability.

[trebb]

I guess that can be a plus - I have a 9 mm that has a 16 round mag - never put more than 10 in it though.

For concealability, I use a Ruger LCP .380 or a Kahr in the same vein - small holster or will fit nicely into a watch pocket in my jeans to make it indiscernible with only a T-shirt over it.

Yep got a couple those too. M1 carbine and couple Ruger Mini 14s because I like that rolling bolt action. Have a lever action 30-30 but can't afford ammo for that or the carbine for that matter.

Thinking to get some tilt barrel 3 because wife and I have a little trouble with the slide action. All things get worse as we get older. Double Single helps if they have a lock back on empty. So many to choose from any more When I was a kid he did JC Higgins or Mossberg. Remington was a high dollar 22 in the day. There were a few 45/70 Civil War weapons left around that we shot 410 shot shells in, cut into at the wad for destruction. :)

[trebb]

Yeah - the auto lock back is really nice as age sets in. Grew up shooting Marlin .22s and have one today along with a Ruger 10/22 - the Marlin is more accurate.

Have an AK that I'm going to sell, a 12 Gauge with a 5 round magazine and short barrel for defense rather than hunting and a Rossi lever action carbine that'll take .357 or 38 specials - the .357 round beat you up so I use the 38 specials. Add some various handguns and we have plenty to get us through our old age - probably enough ammo to since we don't shoot like we used to.

Grew up shooting Marlin .22s

We have about the same list. The Ruger 10-22 is my go to backup. Cheap to shoot and deadly enough to kill most things.
