Anyone have one??
Friends of ours visited from Idaho this weekend and the wife has one. She showed it to us. Didn't get to go shoot it,but I sure like the looks,feel and size of it. Couldn't get over how narrow the entire gun is. I really liked it.

nice toy
I have not checked but my initial concern would be the availability of 'parts' should you want to do any tuning ,,,,,,,,,, the .22 version parts were/are scarce,,,,,,,,,
but they're new on the market. Someone will come along soon with after market parts,,

Even with a steel slide and barrel, the empty pistol weighs only slightly more than a pound, thanks mainly to a "composite" frame.a plastic frame?! ha ha ha [:)]

So,you like it too,,,see my first post.
I don't have one. checked them out online. it's a great idea (80% the size of a 1911) but the .380 is a little too WEAK!!! what would I do with it??
nice toy
Too weak to punch holes in paper? My daughters would love to take one to the range. So would I, for that matter.
I guess you're saying Browning shouldn't make it just because you wouldn't buy one?
Next they'll come out with a Barrett .22bmg...[:D]
Yep....like a Ferrari with a four banger...pointless
they already make a .22LR 1911
