    Upset is too strong a word. But, this is a world where Taurus Judges and Serpas! are huge bestsellers.
    Derp sells.

    the price kinda throws a wrench in the idea but for a home defense "rifle", but this should be more accurate than many handgun owners in the 5-25 yard and under territory.

    Yes? No?

    More or less accurate and effective than a pistol with a brace that you don’t intentionally shoulder? Don’t think so. At 2k this thing is a nonstarter. At $600 it could have been fun to try.

    It's even Glock now with the 19x or anything Aliengear. Advertising budgets and stupid sells.

    Because Franklin Armory doesn’t make cool stuff. They make Derp stuff.

    What is important is that now companies will start making non rifled barrels. So any of us could build a non sbr SBR. Ain't nobody gunna spend 2k on it, but maybe I'll do something dumb if they made a MP5 or some other solely CQB firearm with a non rifled barrel.

    That'd be cool.

    I really doubt there would be the demand, from discerning customers, for a reputable manufacturer to bring such a thing to market. The accuracy alone is unsettling.

    Franklin can have their gimmick and their binary triggers.

    And the massive number of bullet marks on the walls, floors, and ceilings of indoor ranges will multiply further.

    The Reformation vs a 18" 590, which patterns tighter?
