Smallest most accurate multi-shot 380

Pretty slick
I does not even resemble a firearm from the angle shown
-
I wonder what the felt recoil is like on that little engineering marvel; maybe like a cherry bomb exploding in one's hand?
-
Probably more like getting wacked across the top of your hand with a length of rebar...
By Mark McGuire...
Here is another picture from the website. I guess those flaps keep your fingers from getting in front of the barrel. Still, it seems those flaps would wack your knuckles pretty hard...

Better make the first two shots count...you won't be using that hand for a while afterwards. Dang thing is UGLY!
-
Seeing this one, think I'll wait another 100 years for the NEXT revolutionary CC gun....
-
Frankly, I'm surprised that BATFE hasn't given that thing one of the "Any Other Weapon" classifications under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(E).
-
How is that any smaller than a 7+1 or 6+1 pocket .380? Seriously that looks pretty big. I realize that picture is a woman's hands holding it, but still..
-
Just for openers it doesn't have a conventional grip to absorb the shock. The size has very little to do with it.
Also, it appears to be a very different discipline than the single finger trigger pull with the hand on the grip. I can't imagine fumbling through this process with four fingers and no palm in a stressful situation. Can you imagine trying to do this with both hands?
-
I'm going to have to buy one though... I just know it.

It is different. I would have to see one before buying it.
It may be one of those guns that are here and gone before you can purchase one. Who knows. I would not buy one to carry, just as a novelty.
-
Looks very slow to get it in action.

That is too many steps on a calm day; it is a novelty, however.
-
you can hide that gun in your center console and no one would suspect it was a firearm.
It may work as a back up to you back up gun and then throw it as a last resort! LOL.

May "The Force" be with you! ;)
-
Umm.... I'll pass on this one.
My PPK would be insulted ... ???
-
I will be amazed if it is approved for manufacture.
-
With proper grip and stance this could become a very effective nutcracker, but only if no cartridges are chambered. Might function as cumbersome "brass" knuckles. Loosen a couple of screws and it might function also as a castanet. How about using one as a test for the airport screeners..."No sharp edges...can't be a weapon; must be art!" Other thoughts?
-
I think I'll opt for a rock.
-
On the positive side this piece could become a collector's item.
-
It seems to me that anyone who is inclined to carry will want to carry a "real gun" vs. this fiddly thing where you have to think about it/ready it before use.
All I see when I look at this is a weapon that is smuggle-able past no-gun checkpoints.
I love guns but would draw the line at allowing this one.

More like a "knucklecracker." Too wierd for me & not that small after taking 10 minutes to unfold.

Ya but this thing has a LASER
-
It looks like an unusual thing to mess with..
But as far as a bug it would be too slow to get into action..
Looks to thick to be fitted into a belt buckle,some mini derringers can do that I believe.
I don't quite know where this will fit but I wish the company good luck with it!!
-
Be more likely to sell if it had a can opener, toothpick, magnifying glass, screwdriver and lock pick combined with it...might also benefit from a secret decoder to communicate with like-minded aficionados.

That reminds me of the "Captain Marvel" secret-decoder, glow-in-the-dark ring with the hidden compartment that I got by mailing in a coupon from a comic book when I was seven years old. (I think I threw that ring away when it stopped glowing in the dark after a week or so.) ;D
-
The CL380 will probably lose its glow after awhile, too. The $800 price tag, discounted for inflation, may approximate your sense of loss with the "Captain Marvel" ring. I recall a similar disappointment with a "Dick Tracy" watch. I wonder if their marketing department has thought about a "Cracker Jack" joint venture.
-
8 bills is enough to expect some cracker jacks to go with it!! ???

I seem to recall coveting a "Dick Tracy" watch back in those years. If you were disappointed in yours, I'm probably lucky that I never managed to acquire one.
Now . . . with regard to "Cracker Jacks," the prizes were inevitably junk but the caramel popcorn was always good.

The video ...

I can't wait till Bruce gets one of these
-
April said it best, "What?"
-
I want one.
But I'm saving for a S&W 929 - I can't use that money on a 380 ACP gizmo, I'd never forgive myself if I didn't get a 929.
-
Well I did get my S&W 929 and I really love it.
But now the RM380 may be competing with this thing for my $$$ (depending on when Remington ships them).
The Bondhus was at SHOT show 2014 and they're due to release "early" 2016 I hope that means before April.
The device has gone through some design changes, including an integrated LED light. It still looks neato to me. There are some more videos on their website too, including a range test at 21 feet.

Two enterprising brothers of German heritage designing guns - it doesn't get any better than that right?
-
As always, keep your keys and coins in the other pocket. :D
-
Y'know - that is good advice.
I have a Schrade Viper 3 OTF, and one time I dropped a spare dime in the same pocket as the knife and when I went to open the knife - wouldn't you know it, that dime went down the slot, wedged against the blade and stopped the knife from opening - it was like Murphy's Law.
