Customer Comments

Amazing Quality, Simple Design, Great Styling

Amazing quality, simple Design, great styling, superb ergonomics and kind/courteous customer service! I like most guns. This is one of my favorites. I own more than one, and have multiple barrels. Both my parents own one as well. Thank You.

Some barrels that we manufacture do not have extractors because the ammunition is "rimless".

Common calibers which are rimless are calibers that were developed to primarily be used in semiautomatic pistols. These include 9mm, .45ACP, 10mm, .40 S&W, .380ACP and more.

When there is no rim, an extractor has nothing to "grab", and the user removes the cartidge by gently prying it from the barrel using the gap that we engineer in place of the extractor.
This gap also functions as a loaded-barrel indicator as the rounds are clearly visible when loaded.
