Maybe, this is going to be big.
Full Conceal M3 prototype- 26 rounds of 9mm in a folding G19. Coming in the fall for around $1200.

Here's what some are saying about this from TriggrCon via Facebook:


What do you all think, oh yeh, maybe you should look at the M3 Glock19 Prototype video here, to see the complete picture.

Not a whole lot of point to this that I see.

Carry concealed, then have to unfold and chamber?

Maybe I missed something.

Why not just carry an extra mag?

Too early in the morn for me to suss this one out.

Don't like Glocks, anyway...so, meh.

First two thoughts are:

1. Can you safely carry with one in the chamber in the folded configuration? It looks like the trigger is part of the folding/unfolding process...
2. Most people who carry, carry with one in the chamber for rapid access to their firearm. If we don't want the delay of racking the action, we're almost certainly not going to want the delay of sliding the mag and unfolding the grip...then maybe even having to rack the action (see #1)

I think it is a nice idea and a neat design. But I would bet it only achieves marginal sales numbers. Sure, the 26 rounds on-tap are nice. {Diety} knows us 9mm guys worry about running dry. ;-) But a spare standard G19 mag gives me another 15, for a total of 31. There will be some people for whom this works, but I think most of us will stick with our standard G19 configurations.

Obviously this was made to “spray” a crowd of innocent children.

$1200 ? That’s just crazy

If you can carry only one, this is not the one, ya must have two hands free.

I like Glocks, and they work well for me, so it is not a bias toward brand.

My Glock 19 works just fine the way it is. I could buy 3 more for $1200. Or one more, a case of ammo and a good training class.

Hope you're getting lots of hits on your blog.

It looks like the answer to a question that’s never been asked. And, I can buy three 19s for one folder. No thanks.

There is a reason God created IWB holsters. I carry a Glock +1 all the time.
i think not.
