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 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.

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! :mrgreen:

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

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

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….

Interesting, but not my cup of coffee.
