This looks like a cute little pistol that I can put in the back pocket or vest during a fishing trip. Kind of like it. Wondering how much it is going to cost?

Like how they have mentioned porting. Must have a touch of recoil?  ;) Like how you are able to get it in .45 ACP and 9mm.

$800? Wow! For the $400 difference I think I can work the hammer on my Bond. I can see owning one if they catch on and the price drops. I always bitch that no one seems to come up with something new and innovative. This qualifies, its just a bit too rich for my blood.

High-tech derringer, pretty cool!  I would assume normal market pressures would bring it down to a reasonable price over time.  But it is still a derringer... :-\

Fill your pockets with 25 of these and have cash left over for a few boxes of ammo.

Would love to have a couple of these, just a cool story that goes with a cheaply manufactured gun. 8)

Trouble is, replica Liberators are $400+.   Original productions in good condition go well into the thousands.  My oldest son's Father-in-law has one in like-new condition complete with box and accessories.  Last I had it valued for him was $4,000.

Didn't mean to go out and get originals or even replicas.  You are buying the "image".

The point is that if if a single shot .45 ACP pistol can be made that cheaply, maybe we should invest in expanding that technology to a two shot.  All the features of the Heizer without the need for the "space age technology" price.

Firing pin gets set to top chamber when you close the action.  Firing pin gets set to bottom chamber at the end of the trigger pull.

Not a engineer, but I bet that wouldn't be too difficult to implement in a reliable inexpensive mechanism.

They are filling a niche with Gold when carbon steel would do.
