ABBOBERG, I will congratulate you sir on your innovative spirit, you clearly have balls, and that is commendable.
For everyone beating the "solution without a problem" drum, let me say that the added power (ie velocity) combined with its size is the gun's selling point. If the gun proves reliable AND sturdy, then you really are getting something for nothing. For everyone who wants a larger sight picture, then you can purchase a 5 inch tactical weapon. Move on. Some of these complaints are ridiculous, akin to bitching that "a Toyota Prius cannot seat 8 people" or a "Chevy Suburban doesn't get 50 mpg".
That being said, ABBOBERG, I think you have three issues to address.
1) Can you make the pistol reliable AND strong? (I'm talking Glock, steal Kahr, HK, Sig reliable and able to last 10,000-15,000 rounds)
2) Can you make the pistol reasonably affordable? (A $1200 pocket pistol is going to have an extremely small market. Ask Rohrbaugh, their 1k pocket pistol will forever be the niche product. Can you hit that magic 700-800 dollar price point)
3) If the the design proves viable, will you be able to produce it in large enough numbers so that interested parties will actually be able to buy one?
I wish you the best of luck and please continue to keep THR informed of your progress. I consider myself an optimistic skeptic, and I think you'll have a lot of takers if you can pull this off as outlined.
