Looks like a fun toy but doesn’t seem very practical.

I handled one at Smokey Mtn Knifeworks gunshop a few weeks back. It's smaller than it looks and I like it a lot!! Would want 300BLK though, with a three lug adapter for my 9mm can.
Looks like they are trying to grab some Shockwave business...
Not for me..

Now that might be cool!
Yeah, I don't see the point.
If I wanted an AR pattern pistol, I think I'd want one with an "arm brace" and a conventional pistol grip.
Now, if this thing were intended to remain legal in states where an Assault Weapons Ban is in effect and applies to handguns, THEN I can see them going off in different directions, but that would probably require more than just changing the grip angle and moving the recoil spring. They'd have to eliminate the ventilated heat shield, the threaded barrel, and maybe change a few other things. The 1994-2004 federal ban also set an upper weight limit of, I think, 50 oz.
I think a full-sized conventional handgun, perhaps with an extended capacity mag (let's say a Glock 17 or even a long-slide Glock 34 MOS with a micro red dot optic, and with a G18 mag that holds 33 rounds stuck in it) represents a more practical defensive weapon, and one that's less likely to be subject to an assault weapon ban.

They have their place due to chitty legal and political environments, but no need for one here in GA.
It's a solution looking for a problem.
I like the ingenuity but it really doesn't have a place in free states. There are better options out there. Also, it's pretty pricey.

It's great if you are collecting protection money or you are in the mob
Looks like something from Mad Max in a way.
