Take a simple pistol and make it complicated. More shit to break down. That's my impression.

I feel bad a perfectly good G19 died for that contraption. It deserved better.

A magazine xarrier on the weapon that for es the hand to prip in front if or over the muzzle seems like a bad choice, especially under stress.

As for folding the G19, I dont see how it becomes any more concealable. I do see potential for a lot of bad things to happen, however, from negligent discharges to failure in use to failure to deploy in a critical moment. If the goal is to draw and fire under stress, this would appear a step in the wrong direction, to say nothing of the loss of simplicity inherent in the pistol.

It could be useful in an extremely unusual set of circumstances. None you or I will probably ever be in, nor one that comes up enough for them to stay in business based on that alone.


They could probably sell a bunch to the gadget crowd.

At least with his P320, you can just buy another grip. That poor Glock though (and I don't like Glocks!). I wanna see his draw from concealment to first shot times. I'm guessing minimum 4 seconds.

Or the mini-tablets that people are using as phones, and twice as thick.

I'll stick with my G26 and and spare mag and still be smaller and quicker.

I don't mind the fact that people try to design and develop new things.

This Glock is stupid, however.

What's the point? That was my thought after I watched the video. I don't see how it makes the gun more concealable.

Another thought: can you change magazines with that? It looked like the mag release was cut off.

It's a Magpul Pmag. He probably ment 21 round mag, or maybe theres a +2 follower or something in there, or chopped a 27 round down to 23.
