1 / 2 / 0 today, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. One no longer among the living, two healing up in time to meet the magistrate, and none in the wind. Not too shabby, and the weekend is nearly here.

1/2/0, not too bad heading into the weekend. Hope the clerk walks as was defending self. Shot multiple times, may get lots of cred in bar city, life plus 5, sounds like he won’t be on the streets again. Chattanooga needs help is what I see as to article, new hospital wing on jail as 6 there now, shouldn’t the last one be 1/2/0 as 2 other suspects were also taken into custody. Not being critical AW. Small pistol is sort of scary if fired, have small one here and short grip led to some worries as to control but .22 worked ok, just have to be careful of slide. 5th, roll or cash, standing by.
Outcast let’s collect the winnings today. Be a nice bonus with the major payout from the Juicy Jussie wager. Meet me at the clubhouse, we’ll have the steak and eggs brunch FIRST thing this morning.
Arresting the almost robbed for defending himself? Dahell? Surely they jest? Must be just a formality, we would hope.
Douglas County: If back in ’17 the homeowner had of put three (3) center mass, then a double tap to the cranial region, the tax payers would not be on the hook for room and board.
Choo Choo City: “…why they have to take you away….” Why did cuz have to be a dirtbag home invading, stealing/robbing dreg of society? Cuz got what he deserved. The top prize for playing stupid games. Shoulda spent more time turning his life around, singing in the choir and trying to find Jesus.
What you wanna bet the .45 version of the Bull Pup kicks like that (GO) Army Mule did to the (BEAT) Navy Goat back there on 8 Dec ’18?
If you think that pistol looks weird, you would be very correct. It’s a bullpup pistol.
He’s a vid of ‘Gun Jesus’ giving a basic:

Bond Arms Bullpup in 9mm; sneaky little BUG.
9 mm is a Pup, .45 is a Bulldog.

I meant to ask if it’s backwards or something, ’cause it looks backwards to me.
Ex-PH2 Yes the rounds feed in reverse, so the magazine looks like it is loaded backwards.
Nice link Roh-Dog. Of note the video is for the original manufacture Boberg. The pistol shown is the Bond arms version (as mentioned) slightly reworked. One of the things they reworked is the need for grease on the barrel to allow it to lock/unlock. The Boberg’s are collectors items, the Bond arms is actually a nice pistol, and falls right in line with Bond arms derringers they are famous for. While Boberg did not get a lot of money (mostly just paid off his debt) it was an amicable buyout. Any one who has ever tried to create a business knows, a good product is only 25% of a successful company.
Good data. It’s a novel design for a lofty purpose. I have only one critique, engineers always are looking for a problem that doesn’t exist, ie Arne Boberg.
Added right hand view to resolve any ambiguity.
Bought 1 about a month ago, it takes a little getting used to.
It is a well made, accurate little subcompact. Ran 50 rounds through it this morning.
I think that gun is funny looking.
Giant letters on the side ruin the look of the gun for me.
The cost is over $1,000!
For a double action only, 7+1 round 9 mm pocket pistol!
I think a Sig 365 is a far better product, the same size, with 10 or 12 round capacity.
Only costs$500, is a proven technology, and shoots all types of ammo.
Bond only recommends certain brands as the bullets gets pulled out of non crimped ammo!
“Magazine feeding reliably” is an essential thing.
