As a guy who carries a Glock 20 as my usual concealed gun, just wide enough for a 7.62x25 seems narrow enough, but normal people might not agree. Maybe a slightly shortened & weakened .30 Carbine, loaded for a pistol barrel?<BR/><BR/>With the folding barrel the whole thing would print as a rectangle through clothes, and just look like a book or electronic gizmo.<BR/><BR/>If I ever get a CAD/CAM setup (wishful thinking) you'll be invited to use it for prototypes.EgregiousCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853731284933759800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192903.post-1129399578138487582005-10-15T14:06:00.000-04:002005-10-15T14:06:00.000-04:00If thinness is the goal, bottlenecked cartridges a...If thinness is the goal, bottlenecked cartridges are anathema.

All other highly concealable pistols sacrifice range. <BR/><BR/>Maybe with a barrel that folded back over the top of the reciever, and some kind of holster that kept lint out of the chamber and folded the barrel into place on draw.EgregiousCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853731284933759800noreply@blogger.com
