It will be interesting to see how they tackle the issue of not being able to easily convert it back to sec5.
I do have to say I would prefer this over the sgc rifle.
Any idea who is going to import them?
I would be interested in a 40 cal.

Re: S5 - They're apparently made with the same mech as the SGC rifle so if you hold the lever down the gun will not be cocked.
To me like others here it is an abomination and affront to all things holy and the natural order of the universe!
However we are looking at it with the hindsight and experience of having owned and shot "proper" handguns however over the past 16 years since this country abused an innocent minority of its citizens for cheap political gain a whole new cohort of people have come into shooting who have no experience of "proper" handguns. To their new and unjaundiced eyes it is just another firearm to explore, learn to shoot and enjoy so to them I say good luck, if it gets people shooting and sharing a common interest around such anathemas then it has to be good and who are we to foist our prejudices on the up and coming generations of shooters? Is that our legacy?

+2 We have silly firearms laws. If you design a product purely to satisfy those laws you end up with a silly firearm.
Just bring it in and bring it on. It may look stupid but if it gets people into the sport then so be it. No point in lamenting how we were screwed because we sat back and said nothing at the time.
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!
As they'll be used to punch paper, it's hard to see what benefits there are over the .22 offerings - apart from being a little bit more fiddly to operate and more expensive to run.
