The Palm Pistol is an ergonomically innovative single shot double action only defensive firearm chambered in 9mm that may be fired using either hand without regard to orientation of the stock. Suited for home defense, concealed carry or as a backup gun. It is also ideal for seniors, disabled or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity. Using the thumb instead of the index finger for firing, it significantly reduces muzzle drift, one of the principle causes of inaccurate targeting. Point and shoot couldn’t be easier.

I think the old 10-shot palm pistol was a better idea.

You beat me to it Frank, The Germans during WWII had a Belt buckle pistol as well, Not like NAA, on this one the face plate flipped up and exposed several chambers pointing forward.

I've always liked the idea of a palm pistol.  Compact, concealable, controllable (point/aim), and controllable (secure within your hand in a fight).  I was looking for that same picture that frank posted.  I saw one in an article, and I think for the most part it was a better idea than the new one.  In looking at the two, I'm sure the new one has more safety features (I think that is what all the buttons are for) ... but a single shot ???

I read this last night and thought the same thing but was too lazy to look up the picture.  ;D
