Good ol George Kelgren ripped a few more lines, reminisced back to the dark days of the way he got around the magazine capacity ban back at Grendel Arms with the top-loading Grendel P-10, and designed this new… thing

A 20 round capacity 5.7 that loads with stripper clips, locks up at the front of the slide, comes optics ready, and has a chocolate starfish muzzle.

Its hideous. It’s weird. I want one!

I wonder how long until we see the Ruger iteration of it...

I heard a story today on the radio that Native Americans are mad that there is a shortage of peyote. I think Ol' George put a dent in the supply.

[Justsomedude]

You had me at chocolate starfish.

I'd like that round in a rifle. A buddy of mine built one and it shot well. I liked it because you are able to handload the case.

Stripper clip loaded pistol? Maybe we'll get some re-issues of C-96's and Steyr 1912's!

[GrapeApe]

I saw it on ARTV. it interests me slightly.

A handgun that fires an expensive round that’s best suited for mag (clip) dumping trash?
Meh.

Keltec has engineers?

[GrapeApe]

They just started listing it on their website today

I had a Keltec 9mm some years ago. It was a pretty good shooter, but the ergonomics made it an uncomfortable little poop to shoot.

It’s not as dumb as one thinks. I do admire the design.

I have a buddy that has placed a pre-order. May get hands on with one soon

I'll wait for them to go on sale for sub $300, but I am way more curious than I thought I would be.

[Wambli Ska]

Since I was seriously underwhelmed by the FN gun I don’t think this one will capture my attention any better.

Here in Colorfornia that would be a legal standard cap gun. The 15 round limit only covers REMOVABLE magazines….

I may or may not have one of them coming. I saw one advertised for $300.18

[Zee]

My LGS had one I handled. No thanks.

[Zorba]

I'm a sucker for oddball guns.

Kinda looks like he saw all the mag bans and said "hold my beer" doesnt it?

Yep! And that is what he came up with!

Interesting, but not my cup of coffee.
