Give me a 1/2x28 threaded barrel… and I’m sold. In .32… I’ll buy two.
I think it's awesome that they're doing this. And I hate to be picky. But...
I just want a normal Cheetah. With a decocker. But I suppose there's plenty of those available used.
For astute purveyors of pew: hipstertactical.com
I may just pick one of these up even though I have no earthly use for it.
Edit to add, maybe not because if I bought it I know I'd end up carrying it...
Ugh. A big metal .380 has a lot of appeal for recoil sensitive shooters, but the old Cheetah has the enduring charm of also being an elegant and classy example of the pistol maker’s art. This post-industrial design flavor may be trying for “function over form”, but it leaves me cold. Why not both meme goes here.
Yes it's blowback. The safety is the up for safe, up again for decock. The design was refreshed from the ground up for durability, reliability, and easy of use, so parts compatibility is a tricky subject; I have a list, I need to make it consumer facing. We're doing a lot of flat back straps because it's much easier to add plastic, wood, or G10 than it is to remove metal. There will be wraparounds made for that gun, though not immediately at launch.
I'll be popping in to answer as I can, but with SHOT started for me (range day setup this weekend), I'll be tied up.

Amazing. Can’t wait to see how this shakes out.
