I spoke to MicroTech about the ArchAngel at SHOT 2010 and got a very lukewarm -- we are not sure there is a market for a pocket 9mm -- type response.

Thank for the good review, Bill (and reminding me to drop in on this forum once in a while).  While our facility is only one room right now (except for the restroom), we are planning on creating "cozy" office space when we start earning revenue.  Although, the high ceiling is starting to grow on me and some companies pay extra for that!

I just want to see a video of the Microtech Archangel in action.

Duane,
I heard from unofficial sources that Microtech may have overreached into their firearms venture and it could be causing them some financial difficulty.

Tracker -- that wouldn't surprise me.  Clearly they can't be serious that there is no demand for a pocket size 9mm pistol.  ;)

The Ruger LCP really kicked off the pocket gun surge, and everyone followed suite with a 380.  If there had been a well made pocket 9mm in the five hundred dollar range (as the Micro Tech is said to be) available, they would have had sales that companies can only dream of.
