About the Gun

Compact +P rated 9mm pistol with a unique loading system that allows for a longer barrel length. Cartridges are pulled from the magazine backwards as the slide retracts, allowing the barrel to extend rearward over the magazine. The gun also employs the rather unique rotating barrel method of recoil management, only found in a few semi-automatic pistols.

Production

Production of this unique firearm began in 2011 and continued until 2016, when the company faced financial challenges and ceased operations. Limited numbers were manufactured, making it a rare piece among collectors today.

Market value

For this gun, the MSRP is approximately $1,349 based on historical platinum finish pricing. Used market value in 95% condition is estimated at $900-$1,100, reflecting 2025 trends from available data.

Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling blend of precision and ergonomic design, making it a solid choice for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is noteworthy, with tight groupings achievable at moderate ranges due to a well-balanced frame and barrel alignment. The grip design promotes a natural hand position, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, as it performs consistently under varied conditions with minimal malfunctions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring specific tools and attention to detail for disassembly. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids in control, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during prolonged use.
