Missing the point...
You guys are all missing the whole point ! It has built in blue tooth & WiFi !
Reminds me of this piece of Rambo-wanna-be crap that graced the cover some gun rag years back...

This 1911 has the muzzle device to assist in contact shots, as well as a "skull crusher" spike on the mainspring housing. Must hurt like hell to fumble a speed reload with this thing.
Or reloading at all. Jesus, that thing looks like it belongs in the movie Underworld.
Do you know what the claimed purpose of the "cage" around the firing pin recess is?

Just a SWAG, but I'd say:
While I was at SIG I worked with an agency that absolutely insisted we bob the hammers on some new guns they were buying "to reduce the odds of snagging during a draw from concealment." I asked if they'd ever had an instance where someone had snagged the hammer on a draw operationally or even during training and the answer was no. But still, just in case...
- protects the hammer from snagging, and/or
- protects the hammer from slipping to the half-cock or fire notch if the back of the slide is struck or used to strike.
Thanks for the insight. I've caught my thumb on my shirt while practicing AIWB draws from concealment, maybe I should cut IT off... but then I'd have to swap my mag release to the other side. No thanks.But still, just in case...
I think this kind of logic, unchecked, is what leads people to thinking they need to carry 2 guns and 4 spare mags. Has anyone, who's not operating in their official capacity, ever needed that much firepower? No way Jose.

Oouch. Jumped the shark there.
When I've been in a bind, that would feel like a minimum load. 2 guns and 4 mags makes more sense than these bolt on exoskeletons.

There was a time in my life when I read every gun rag I could. Long before I realized that the editors love advertising revenue more than actual information... That time was way back in college, when I was excited to get my American Handgunner and read about pistols such as this. Pistols that HAD TO BE GOOD! If it was in a major magazine, the this had to what I had to own to fight off evil. Ahhh youth.Do you know what the claimed purpose of the "cage" around the firing pin recess is?
If I recall correctly, this pistol was supposed to be some super CQB type gun. So it's maker was afraid that in close quarters, the gun might get jammed into someones body, hence the need for the muzzle protection device. Or, that you would be so close to the bad guy, he would stick the web of his hand between the hammer and firing pin, and thus stop you from shooting. Hence, the fancy "cage" attachment back by the hammer. I guess, at this distance, the super-duper-pistol-whippin-skull-crusher-spike is meant to be deployed.
As someone who has packed a pistol at the 4 o'clock position on his waist for years, I was mostly looking at this thinking about how badly it would tear up the upholstery in my car. Or, God forbid if I went to lay down on my sofa wearing this thing. So much for those cushions. My wife would use the super-tactical-spike-thingy on MY head...
@JHC - I think he was referring to non-LEO/mil types.
Sure. But c'mon. Along the continuum of crazy, strapping on odd dongles is on another level than a backup gun and a few extra mags.Just sayin'.
