New 50 round Pistol

[Reinz]

Don’t get too excited it’s from Keltec, so it may just be vaporware for years. It uses 5.7 Ammo.

It runs on the FN P90 rifle mag.

The top hinges up and forward to load mags. I had a pic, but the file was too large.

Over 3lbs unloaded....

 

[Rhino]

Huh.

 

[zackmars]

Over 3lbs unloaded....

A 1911 is 2.5lbs unloaded...

That's a retard special. Open the top cover, sounds like they were trying to find a way around a few FN patents.

Most certainly, to be sure.
Others have been looking for ways around FN/Browning patents for a century - my personal favorite is Winchester’s model 1911SL shotgun “the widow maker.”

Can't wait to carry IWB with a belt and suspenders loaded.

 

[Bisdak]

Looks like a space gun.

I'll give Kel-Tec credit for trying to be innovative but this thing looks like an ergonomic and logistical nightmare. With an MSRP of $995 it's going to be a tough sell unless they find a way to attach a brace and at that point you're looking at P90/CMMG Banshee territory.
ETA: If they added a CMR-30 style stock it would add some validity to the design.

What's with all the new 5.7 guns coming out? That round was almost dead.

 

[Tonyt915]

I don’t like it but hopefully with more 5.7s in the market ammo options will get better

Boutique? Yes, but never dead.
ETA: part of the issue is the lack of "fully capable" ammunition of which the 5.7 was designed to be.

Anybody handload the 5.7 or is it just too damn little?

I always keep my fired brass JIC but from what I've seen and heard 5.7 is a PITA to reload. Quite a few Youtube vids on it though.

reminds me a bit of the Calico that was out awhile back....

 

[lightflyer1]

I will just stick with the CP33 I just bought. It is wild looking enough on its own and can also hold 50 rounds with the extension.

 

[no2gates]

Reminds me a lot of a Beretta Neos I have.

Still no Keltec Tec 9 remake that's been rumored for years, but George puts his money behind this? I hope he has enough to get by when these don't sell. Dude's letting Masterpiece Arms make a killing by not releasing a newer Tec 9. MA has the market cornered on ghetto blasters. Their 5.7 also isn't as goofy, which says a lot.

With a Draco AK or AR pistol running 3-5 pounds and $600-900, people will still go for it, especially when they make a brace for it. I bet if Hi-Point made a long barrel pistol and threw a brace on it, they could double their sales!
