New smith and Wesson folding carbine

[ilikegunspdx]

Personally I would much rather have this $650 s&W than this $1800 pivot gun.

9mm folding rifle, 20" long, Glock mags

Interesting design. Now way in hades I would pay $1800 for it personally. This may have been posted already but I didn't see a thread on it. Kind of like an improved keltec folder. Perhaps with so many ppl suddenly selling off their PCCs and braces they may turn to this instead I dunno.

Glock mags are great but to be fair the MP mags are just as good quality wise, not nearly as cheap but 100% reliable and durable.

The only reason all my PCC's are Glock is I long ago laid in a lifetime supply of the mags. I have a real thing for PCC's so every time they put out one if it takes Glock I know I will end up buying one no matter how hard I try to resist.

I've been thinking about the Beretta CX4 Storm that uses 92FS mags, but I like the folding aspect here.

Did KelTech's patents expire or something?

That's an over-folder this is a side-folder.

If it weren't for that big ol ugly hinge, I'd be more interested. Man that's an eyesore.

It's not going to win any beauty contests for sure.

How about a tri folder (ar15)?



They (foldar) have a bifolder (is that a word?) too


Don't know anything about them but they kinda look fragile and finicky to me.

Jay Inslee has already saved me $650 and it's not even March yet.

The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea."

Thanks, Douglas Adams.

I'll order when they announce the 10mm version.

Here's what Jerry Miculek thinks. But he's a S&W rep.

I bet someone will come out with a trigger spring kit or replacement trigger soon to lighten that trigger up.

That was the first I heard that MSRP was going to be $650. My wallet is glad they did not make this to take Glock mags.
Even at that and the way I would have to drive over to see one of the kids in ID to buy mags it does make me want one. Him calling the trigger heavy at 5 or 6#s also sounds good to me. For the price of the thing a 5 or 6# trigger would not bother me a bit.

Sportsman's website is advertising $599.

I have the JM adjustable trigger in an AR. It was 1.5 lbs out of the box! So he does like light and short reset. He said in video the s &w folder it felt like 6 or 7 lb. But weight is only part of the equation of course. Someone needs to do a Garand thumb like ghost trigger review to know what it's like without actually shooting it.

Jerry seems to like the SmithKelPoint.

How far can you discount something that's already 149.95?

Maybe after discount it goes into negative dollars?
