Honestly, this feels like the gun equivalent of a concept car.

@@BigBear-- I don't see the advantage of a triangular barrel vs the traditional circle with a tight tolerance circle machined into the slide.

[@BigBear--]

​@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 To be honest there probably isn't much to it of you're talking about a high quality made circular barrel vs a triangular barrel. But in theory with a triangular barrel there might be some very slight advantages depending on how it's manufactured. In theory it could be a stiffer design if the thinnest wall thickness is comparable to a round barrel, which means that the rest of the edges are thicker, and a triangle is a very strong design, so it'll make a stiffer barrel as far as barrel harmonics. It might also allow for a more perfect bore cut during manufacturing. Finally depending on the action design, it might make for better slide to barrel fit, and more precise action. These are all just the "in theory" ideas of why it might be better. Though honestly with moden manufacturing techniques, it's hard to imagine there being any serious improvement or difference made in performance. At the end of the day it's not super difficult to design really accurate firearms, that are far more accurate than any human shooter. Most firearms are more than accurate enough, and more accurate than the user. The rest is more about feel and form... At the end of the day guns like these are not about function, but about exclusivity and form. To be an excuse for someone with extra money to buy something cool and exclusive. That gun won't do anything that a $1000-2000 CZ Shadow 2 won't do the same, or do better. Or that a custom gunsmith can't do for you for $10-25K.

Haha! That statement might be more accurate than the gun. 😅 It's built on a platform, that isn't even near the top tier. Shadow 2 is a fair, accessible sports pistol. Nothing there. Very popular. But you don't get anywhere near the accuracy of a factory SIG P210, easily giving you the same spread at twice the distance. At least in my experience. The SIG is quite expensive, yes ... but at a third of the price of this Elysian, being among the most precise pieces of mechanical work ever made in the realm of handguns, I would rather have two of those and have them fitted specifically to me by the factory, or even reworked into taking 2011-mags, just to go overkill in customization. 😅🙈

"Ment for gods" -- imagine spending 10K on a pistol and getting a typo on the exclusive, machined box!

[@amatteroftimeisuppose8900]

This guy studied the evolution of the Mercedes g wagon and did the same thing to a Cz 75.

[@Swampthing401]

The barrel is a very interesting concept. Having it ride a rail on the top of the slide basically. So when the slide goes back to battery, Theoreticly it should be smoother and faster than slapping into a free floating tube barrel, aligning it and then locking into battery.

Fun fact: The Czechs have the highest beer consumption per capita. Looks great after a couple of drinks, I think. I'm uncultured, and I don't understand art.

[@larrybrock6811]

First you make something, anything, then you boast about it being art and when people say it looks like crap you smugly tell them art is subjective. 😉

[@kkhankhalil]

Super imaginable... Its like star war innovation. He has applied his mind every where but that magnets are something wierd.... This platform should have come with a new caliber also... I can advise 3 more simple innovations in this design...

[@dnendion4300]

This is a gun that believes that form and function can't be compromised. Following an aesthetic form and making it work with some innovation. Ultimately a beautiful gun and hopefully this concept will fall down into the lower-priced market. I really like the hopeful rise of beautiful artistic guns.

[@JR81920]

Watching James try to keep a straight face has been the best part of this interview

[@shooteveryday1841]

Art inspires industry often. Blending guns and art is not a new concept but enthusiastically welcomed

[@bzipoli]

ngl that's the prettiest pistol i've ever seen in my life. great job also, great video, James. it shows the guy is really proud of his design

[@chadpurser]

The red dot mount prevents racking the slide from the rear. Otherwise, it's a beautiful gun.

[@timcameron9023]

Hate to point it out but 'ment' should be spelled 'meant' on the front of the box...

[@martinbartas9587]

08:10 This guy is trying to make the one gun to rule them all...

[@jasonseiverling5354]

James… how scared were you in this interview? Their is no way this guy isn’t a Czech Mafia Prince.

[@michaeldoe4805]

So, when you drop it to a hard surface, rear sight plate and grio panels will just come off then? Hopefully it will not discharge😮 Would love to see a drop test for the confirmation of those magnets, the way he pried the grip panels off seemed kinda too easy to me...

[@HalfBreedMix]

If you ever played with quality neodymium magnets, you would know that you have to slide them apart,,,,,,,, because trying to simply pull them apart is WAAAAY harder; and so that's the principle this gun is using. A simple drop which will apply force in basically one direction isn't going to do much,,,,,,,,,, panel will stay on.

[@cousinzeke4888]

All the comments talking about dropping it are forgetting it cost ten fucking grand, you aren't going to be dropping it. These obviously aren't meant for that type of use.

[@DeanCalaway]

He was so busy thinking if he could, he didn't thought if he should.

[@Absolute_Goblin]

10k for a pistol that does what every other handgun does. It looks cool though.

[@skalmanidealman]

I am not sure about this design and how the magnets will will hold up in the long run. Like the pin for the trigger mechanism that might creep out after a long day at the shooting range or even worse at a competition. But I really appreciate that some designers have the courage to invest in "crazy" new ideas. Looking forward to a review of this gun from someone that has actually shot it!

[@brianmoore1164]

Not for me, but I am happy to see designers thinking outside of the box.

[@fn6266]

The CZ Shadow 2 is now the Elysien we have at home.

[@theodorebear6714]

I'm not surprised another Czech made this. It's not just a machine. It's art. I like how we are returning to make legendary weapons that may be kept in museums for the incredible quality we put into them.

[@uros8012]

Looks great, seems comfortable and barrel length is nice. Only complaint I can say is the shorter sight picture due to the cut out.

[@John_Redcorn_]

But will it work at the north and south poles?

[@doombringer3498]

So, he made a CZ for the greek gods. I hope it really do shot lightning bolts?

[@TheSADHU88]

Seems like a gun a movie villain would use, a rich one obviously

[@baggyobeast]

Can't wait till we see this tested. Looks and sounds like it could be amazing.

[@Donbeiren]

The way I see it: A gun set to solve an engineering challenge that probably doesn't exist, with a solution that probably isn't necessary, for a market that probably doesn't need it, by a man who probably doesn't know what he wants. If a Shadow 2 won't satisfy you as your first gun, there's something wrong with you, not the gun!

[@bath_neon_classical]

Elysien Fields, the bit of Hades where the heroes go.

[@artemg9753]

Just two questions: why is it not made of platinum, and where should the diamonds be inserted?

[@hammer911tube]

"Hello, I am Ian Mccallum, and today we are going to take a look at a very unusual gun which has become the history only a couple of years after its release and the company went bankrupt"

[@rob6850]

I'm gonna need to see a mud test/burn down.

[@geraldholt2755]

The big brain among us.

[@jonmcqueen9071]

This is what happens when someone goes to Gucci to buy a handgun.

[@BRAINFxck10]

You can take apart with this one tool Case doesn't have a diagram or owners manual good luck with that

[@cascadianone]

If you degauss your computer monitor within 10' of the Elysien, it self-destructs. It's a feature, not a bug.

[@graygunn71]

Feels like a shadow 3 concept car.

[@alanmw86]

so what if another magnet gets near it?

[@BartenderOfDeath]

The engraving is nice but the overall machining is very smooth.....very cool

[@Elegant-Capybara]

They better not have all the cases engraved already, "MENT FOR THE GODS", They should've run a spellcheck 😅
