i wonder if we will see more stripper clip options coming out going forward. Thats a pretty cool concept, hopefully it is reliable and accurate
 
It's a cool throwback to the era of stripper clip top-loading pistol designs of the 1890s-1910s and I would definitely try one out at a range. However, I suspect reloading in a pinch would not be as quick as dropping a mag from the bottom and loading in a fresh new one. It would definitely take practice to get used to it as the loading process would be so different from most pistol shooters' muscle memory.
 
As explained to me, the choice of internal magazine,has nothing to do with ban states about magazine capacity it is about creating the slimmest grip possible.

Can it be topped up as in a tactical reload during a pause in the social activities?

Yes, but it can hold 20 . If you need more than 20 to solve a problem. There bigger issues out there. There is only 10 in the picture. The gun itself can hold two clips double stacked.

I’m not sure about the social activities you’re thinking, but I would think that as a coyote Defence, it could be very well

That is what I figured. This way the grip IS the magazine, rather than the grip having to fit a magazine. Removes a whole layer of plastic or metal, both cutting size and weight in the process.

Looks like the stripper clips hold 10 rounds, so you'd be loading two to fill the mag. My guess is yes on being able to top it up, otherwise getting that 2nd clip in would be a hassle?

edit - Greentips beat me to it.
 
I think it's a neat idea. It'd be a nightmare (in the states) to "unload and show clear" as you rack the slide 17 times haha

It's not designed for gun games, it's designed for defensive use. One article I read referred to it as super simple like a revolver (only controls are a trigger and slide release) but with 20 rounds on tap.

I understand that, but it won't stop someone from running it. Some of my favourite videos are people running 3-gun with SMLE's, Webley's, and trench guns (or other firearms that would never be considered "competition guns")
