Nice!

One good looking, very functional firearm there!

JLaw

But what's with the 2.5 inch barrel lengths on the Night Guards instead of three? Must be something to do with the concealment factor or the aluminum/scandium metal in the guns can't take the ballistics of longer barrels. Whatever, those are sure some nice looking lightweight handguns sure to cannibalize Smith's autojammer sales.

I am sure the 2.5 inch length is for concealment, handling and appearance rather than strength. These have a stainless cylinder and a scandium frame. I don't think a longer barrel would increase pressures.

I just wish they would bring the price down. And get rid of the lock!

Autojammer?

That's a new one to me.
