This is actually a brilliant idea for a slide racking assist for shooters with grip strength issues. You could put that on a regular pistol and rack with both hands. If even slightly larger in .380 I think this would sell.

[@johnjohste1474]

To me it is a little sad that these smaller calibers no longer have a place amongst firearms manufacturers. The .25 and .32 ACP calibers, especially. Not everything needs to be a 9mm. Sometimes your objective is to break contact and a low recoil, small caliber gun in the aforementioned calibers could easily accomplish that. Everyone is making the same plastic 9mm crap these days.

[@frankbrowning328]

SUch cool little pistols. They made several models with this system. Not something you see that often. I've only seen a few of them "in the wild" a few times. When I've seen them in gun shops they were outside my price range.

The Chinese Type 77 pistol was based on this very gun, but the trigger guard sometimes retracted with the slide when firing, shattering the user's fingers.

It's not a Beretta solution. They just copied it from the French pistols made by Manufrance. "Le Français" pistols.

I first saw one of these in a gun encyclopedia in my local public library way back in the early/mid 1980s. I thought it was a cool idea. China exported a one-handed 9mm pistol briefly (when we could import Norinco guns) that while nothing to look at,was reportedly reliable.

[@pnastysavage5510]

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

Seems that Daewoo or Norinco had a full sized pistol that functioned like this in the 80's.

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

It was the Norinco 77 and 77B. Seems to me there was one from a different manufacturer around the same time as well.

[@brandonnovotny1143]

Does the reciprocating part of the trigger gaurd hit your trigger finger at all?

[@masterofdesaster8]

I'm not an expert, but from other videos I've seen on this, it seems to work like a non-reciprocating charging handle, i.e. the slide can travel rearward without the trigger guard.

Cool back up gun .25cal..

[@MarkVasquez-r1n]

It looks like a “Noisy Cricket”! 😅😅😅

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks for the video. That's a fun-looking little pistol. I guess there's no reason that they couldn't make the barrel a little longer. A longer barrel would be harder to conceal but would look better. I don't know whether another inch or two of the barrel would make the .25 ACP a viable choice for self-defense, but I always like a little more velocity.

[@AxLWake]

The .25acp is no joke in itself. Not the most powerful but definitely nothing to sneeze at. And it was developed from the start to be used in very small (and so, short barreled) pistols. For exemple, when shot from pistols with very short barrels, the .25ACP outperforms the .22LR.

[@Bob_Lennart]

[@stefanc2242]

Now if it had a sear that dropped the slide and the front "Trigger" could continue to the rear and press the actual trigger, you could carry pocket gun in condition 3 but would chamber and fire in one motion.
