Jeezus crust, look at this thread.
And people wonder why there's no innovation in gun designs
:banghead:. The Boberg's ammo sensitivity is honestly no different than other small guns' sensitive needs --they are operating on razor-thin margin of mass, force, and momentum compared to bigger guns. On a forward-feeding design, the concern would be for bullet-setback (which is a real hazard this design actually nullifies
). I do agree that the issue will likely be worse with much-heavier 45ACP bullets, but since the Boberg is a strong design capable of 9mm +P, heavy crimping may be a solution without a downside.
Interesting. It's effectively a bullpup, so the trigger probably won't be that good. There has to be a linkage.
You
do realize every single pistol design with a magazine in the grip works this way, right?
Even the 1911.
I sent them an email asking for the specs, and the haven't responded.
There's a good chance there
are no specs yet, since the gun is still early in the design phase (hence why a CAD rendering was featured instead of a prototype). It's worse business to promise customers what you can't deliver *cough* keltec *cough*. I don't think it was any secret that the Boberg was destined for other service cartridges, but the super tiny form factor obviously requires a total redesign of all those close-fitted parts wrapped around the chamber. It's not a drop in modification.
spose the real guns will look as good as the computer generated one they are using as an advertisement piece???
See the last point I made, plus, "yes, it will look just like the computer model," since the gun is made on 5-axis CNC equipment that cuts metal to match the computer model to within .0005" (give or take based on his machinery)
This is kind of the Chiappa Rhino of semi-autos.
Maybe, If Chiappa hadn't bungled their rollout with crappy Italian quality control and meat-headed distributor representatives. What a lost opportunity that was...
I swear that half the nay-say'ers commenting here are unaware there
already has been a well made and highly successful 9mm variant on the market for like a year, now :banghead:. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it sucks or doesn't exist
. And the gun competes with the Rohrbaugh 9's, not the Ruger 32acp's; hence the ~1000$ price tag. I'm not sure some people realize just how compact these guns are; it's quite remarkable, and not much else competes with it. Fewer realize just how expensive 5-axis machining/ery is, what it can do, and how new it is in the gun industry
