Interesting/Unusual Gun Features

1) S&W Model 52. Semi auto that shoots only .38 special full wadcutters.

2) Unique Model L, convertible. Semi auto handgun to semi auto carbine> Pistol barrel pops off, the rest of the gun is plugged in to a rifle stock/barrel. Cool.

Or, the fact that you can cock the hammer with the trigger guard.

Don't know how often that was necessary, but an interesting feature, none the less.

How about the Bogurg (SP?) semiauto's that pull the ammo rearward from the magazine before feeding it into the chamber. Only one I know like that.
