How about a 5/8" thick, all-titanium .45 ACP or 9mm? Check this out.

If it's all Titanium, it will be the favorite carry gun for scuba divers (no rust!)...

I'll ask a silly question - what happens to your hand when the gas and flame shoots out of those top ports? Maybe it doesn't matter because the only way to really use that thing is to shove it against the goblin and give him both barrels...

Why on earth would your hand be on top of the ports?
your hand goes around the grip on the rear on the gun.

I'm not saying they would be covering the ports - I'm just looking at how close those ports on the lower barrel appear to be to the trigger - and they are angled out to the side. This is a .45, not a .22 - I'm thinking there's going to be a significant amount of blast. I guess since it's most likely going to be a 1-hand gun, the weak hand thumb won't be anywhere near there.

This gun would be pretty easy to convert to single shot exempt.

Thanks for the use of your photo earlier in the thread

How would you do it? Just sacrifice an "upper" and weld an extention on one barrel and plug the other?

Again though... just spinning the wheels since the gun hasn't been released yet, if it actually will be, and it may very well end up on the roster anyway and not need SSE.

I'd grab one, depending on the price.

[CSACANNONEER]

Oh an updated Liberator

That was my first thought too.

Looks painful to shoot, but not as painful as getting shot or stabbed.

[JeremyS]

This gun is going to be very expensive. Can you think of another Ti gun? The only one I can think of is the SVI Tiki.

.......

This gun also reminds me of the old COP .357.

Taurus does titanium slides as an option on a few of their sub-compact guns and it's not too expensive.


LOVE that little pepperbox! Definitely one of the cooler guns ever.

I don't think I want to spend 3 hours at the range with this puppy.

I too wonder about how well a Titanium barrel will hold up.
With only two rounds and my poor shooting, I'd be in trouble.
When will HKS/Safariland make a speed loader? With only two rounds, you might need a few of those.

It's like a Kardashian, neat to look at but probably not worth the pain.

haha that's great

[pyromensch]

Ah, a pistol used to fight your way to another gun.
Reminds me of this blast from the past.

greybeard beat you to it.

wanna bet this thing will list for between $800-1000

Not sure how I feel about Ti as a barrel material.

There are quite a few alloys of Ti though. Some are extremely hard but can be brittle, and some are more ductile. If they do it right, there is certainly an alloy that would work properly as a barrel. ...and .45 ACP is a fairly low pressure round... At least this applies to structural strength -- not sure about wear on the rifling and how long it would hold up.

Of course, I probably wouldn't put more than a couple hundred rounds down range over the life of this gun...

Yes; we should do this price is right style. I'll bet $595

Haha. Gotta say... I'm pretty sure it's HD for Heizer Defense, the company that makes the gun



BTW, in case there's any confusion, I'm just following the thread here because I started it and I think the gun's pretty interesting and such. I don't work for Heizer or have any connection to them or have any more info than what's on their website and the interwebs... so everything I've said here aside from the first post is a guess or just total bull***t
