Idunno, but with only two .380 shots, you better be good.

No kidding but, two rounds of .380 are better than nothing. Does look like it has a laser or light.

At the sub $400 price point, it might be a good one to add to the safe collection as a novelty. I'm not sure how practical it will be. I guess a lot will depend on how easy it is to manipulate from 'phone' to 'gun'. If it can be done one-handed, great, otherwise a two-handed manipulation will probably not work real well. :twocents:

It might be a good CCW for those days you wear daisy dukes. :stirthepot:

You know, I thought about this for a moment before I decided to reply. We always believe anything is better than nothing, right? But shouldn't that also be taken within a certain context?

For example: if you were faced with a scenario where you could actually help a situation by using force I think you'd want more than two little rounds that, if you **** up, makes you a primary target for retaliation. You have zero recourse after you fire. None. You can't follow up. You can't do anything.

This is an absolute emergency type of weapon where you already have a gun to your head and literally nothing to lose by trying.

Honestly, I'd rather go without and expend the energy on hauling *** or finding a different way out of a situation.

That weapon appears to be more of a novelty to me. Nearly the same reason I wasn't interested in the G43. Why have 6 rounds when I can have 15 without using much more space?

:iagree: It is definitely is a weapon of last resort. Would be better in 9mm IMO. I might get one for the novelty. How ever I can think of a few situations where it might be useful but in general I wouldn't want to go smaller than my XDs. 5+1 rounds of 45 with a spare 7 round mag.

When I was a kid pumping gas. The owner of the gas station had a pen that shot a .32 cal bullet. One end was a pen, and the other end had a hole in it for the bullet. I watched him shoot it in the garage a few times. He kept it in his shirt pocket all the time.

Sweet. Mrs. BoneZ got me the OWB version of my holster. <3
