Looks like a CZ75 and a Hudson H9 had some kind of child and made it shoot its own goofy cartridge. I wonder if the cartridge will catch on or be a flop.

At 2000fps, that's not armor piercing? Good job ATF. Not complaining, just pointing out how good they are at there jobs...

The pistol itself has little interest to me. The cartridge though is another story. That would make an interesting carbine.

It is a carbine.

I remember reading about these some time back. Interesting cartridge, interesting design, and SBR version (which may or may not be unobtanium on this continent) is even better. But at the $5,000+ they are talking, it is less appealing. Five Gs buys a lot of other gun fun or, for that matter, more practical investments.

While not for me...It is nice to see new developments in gun and ammunition design.

^. Agreed. It is neat to see some innovation in the field. The industry has been, well, for want of a better term, a little stale in recent years. Not that they aren't putting out good products, but they are largely just variations on the same.

HOW MUCH WILL THIS THING COST?

According to some sources, north of $5,000 a unit. American Rifleman reported that figure, for example.

1 Kid + 2 kidneys + 1 arm & 1 leg.

1 Kid + 2 kidneys + 1 arm & 1 leg.

Sounds about right.

Parenthetically, it will be interesting to see if other manufacturers run with this cartridge or not. I guess time will tell.

Wow! For that kind of big bucks 2-3 folks can divvy up together and buy a NFA transferable USGI widget to turn your USGI M1 Carbine into a USGI or USGI exactly-like-type M2 Carbine. Same ballistics. Much more fun. Oh so fast!

In Range has a video on this one.

I can't imagine them moving many at $7,500 a piece and in a new caliber that may turn out to be unobtanium. It is kind of one of the best examples of "Gucci gun". Granted, a neat idea and nice to see something new in the shooting world, but it is hard to imagine it making a huge impact. And I agree with the two guys from Arizona; I'm sticking with .44 Magnum for defense whilst in the hinterland.
