I used to own an Intratec, I believe that was the name. It was a little bigger than that, but not by much. It was all steel, so I'm sure it weighed more. It was chambered in .38spl.

Notice in my opening statement, I said I USED to own it. That thing would beat your palm to death! It felt like getting smacked in the palm with a hammer.

Mind you, if that was all I had available I wouldn't hesitate to use it if needed. All things the same though, I'll stick to my snubbie .357mag in total titanium. It kicks a lot less than that little .38spl!

Wow that looks like an improved model of the Stamped liberator gun dropped by the millions to resistance fighters in Europe extra rounds in the handle and every thing the Idea was to kill a enemy soldier and get his better gun. Stamped out by GM guidelamp.

I noticed some sort of muzzle break (holes drilled in the barrels) to calm the "kick" ! I would imagine this firearm is a beast to control..?

Yeah that gun probably hurts on both ends of the muzzle.

I don't really see the point of it, I'd rather have 6 shots of 380 in a Ruger LCP than 2 shots of 45acp in this little gun. Yea, I know the 380 is weak in comparison, but I'd want more than 2 shots of any round. And at the price of this gun, again, no thanks.

The grip on that thing is awfully short and narrow. I don't think i'd care much for it. I would like to see a demo of someone actually shooting it though.

I absolutely agree. The price is through the roof also. I could buy another Glock 30SF at that price with a box or two of ammo.

Eliminating the need for a revolver cylinder or a slide has a lot of promise for more compact carry options, IMO. I hope they're successful enough to take it further.

Think about taking this concept to 5.7 or even better, .22 magnum - the whole thing would be the thickness of a few credit cards, and you could probably have more than 2 barrels and manageable recoil.

i read somewehre else that it fires both barrels at the same time? if thats true witht he size and the weight how do you hold on to it?

High Standard used to make a two-shot .22 Magnum Derringer (also .22 long rifle, it was more rare).
The recoil wasn't bad at all. Sights are tiny and trigger pull pretty heavy.
Point shooting is the only practical use.
There was one in the Marketplace a few weeks ago...

Not true...one barrel, then the other. If it fired both barrels at once it would be classified as a machinegun.

The draw of this handgun is its thin profile--less than 2/3 of an inch thick. That makes for some real concealment possibilities. Worth the price? Probably not the the full-house Ti version, but the aluminum version should sell for about $375 or so. At that price I could see some potential. The company says additional barrels will include .40 SW and .45/.410.
