Is the magazine removable on that pistol? It is an interesting design concept

It is.

Interesting thing about this design: The magazine doesn't need a follower (the end of the spring is shaped instead), and the spring tension is lower since it doesn't push the round into the chamber but just push the round in position to be picked up.

From what they say, even the weakest of fingers can easily load the magazines.

Did you notice the "new" design with regards to feeding? Call me skeptical but it appears to involve a fair number of small moving parts for both extraction of the round from the magazine as well as feeding said round into the chamber. More parts=more problems. Why reinvent the wheel? If the design was intended to reduce the size of the pistol for CCW than the design is a failure. Slide/barrel length is a non-issue for concealment, its grip length that presents the problem.

If this pistol doesn't run 100% of the time it will fail. If this pistol isn't cheaper than the existing sub-compact models available it will fail. Breaking into such a niche market so late in the game isn't going to be easy. Especially from a new company with a new design and a new gun. Hey, if some folks enjoy being the guinea pig for another "Rhineland Arms" product feel free.

Lots of CGN'ers have US CCW and most do not have 12.6 Status and I for one think it would make a great backup gun (POCKET CARRY) to a primary weapon like a Glock, sig or whatever.

I will be willing to take a chance on it and I can always have a competent smith up here tune it if need be.....ARMCO comes to mind.
 
It took me awhile to notice the mag release::confused:. I thought it may have been charger loaded. I tend to agree with the statements of not overcomplicating the most vital portion of the firearm. It kind of reminds my of some older MG type feeding.
 
i've seen on another forum where a rep from boberg said that it should retail a bit more than the Rohrbaugh R9S and the R9S retails at around 1200US so its going to be an expensive little toy

I'm totally going to try one out.
Even if it costs a bunch, I'll save my money for a pistol that small that I can own without a 12.6
It's really the only game in town.
If ARMCO could iron out the kinks it might be a feasible design.
 
See the picture of the shorty, not canada legal, but it looks like a normal gun, with the front cut off.

Neat idea, it'd be a while before I'd have a need for one, but if the price was right.
