180deg NOT a levergun.. but strangely compelling

A .22 pistol that uses 10/22 mags that has a 5.25" bbl but is only 7" long in toto.

Can also take a suppressor.

Looks like it would be hard to hold, but not really (after watching a few vids on it)

Not bad at only $199 too (when Davidsons has some in stock)... Might be worth playing with anyway.

Boy, I'd like to get one of those to rub in my brother's and nephew's faces (figuratively speaking of course) when they're bragging about their Ruger Chargers! I thought "that needs a suppressor" before I even read the words!

The focus on "operator" (read: tacticool mall ninja) was too bad, but the jun is a pretty cool concept.

This is a cool review:

I know we like to talk down about the mall ninjas, but really, they're our friends and should be encouraged and mentored. I'd rather have to babysit a wannabe than a commie liberal.

In any event what comes to mind for me is, that pistol would make a nice backup to a 10/22.

If this appeals to the "Call of Duty/Halo/Mall Ninja" crowd, I say more power to them. If the reviews are all good and there aren't any problems, I'll probably buy one of these in a year. I could also foresee these being so popular in a year that they'll be impossible to get.

They are already unobtanium... :cry:

Maybe if USFA were to get the heck out of CT and start building them in a "magazine-gun friendly" state, there might be more available...

Are they in production at all? I would think with today's ability for parts to go from drawing board (CAD) to a CNC anywhere in the world almost instantly, that a manufacturer could start meeting a demand fairly quickly, particularly something with so many parts that are injection molded and or "printed". With the hunger for firearms right now, I would think they could sell everyone they make instantaneously. And I can't imagine the cost is going to be prohibitive.

Yep. They are all "allocated" at Davidsons, which means that Davidsons has sold them in the past, but can't get them fast enough.

Also, there is at least one "revision" with a "fix" available from USFA, so there must be a quantity of v.1 units out there (not to mention all the Youtubes about them)

Started out interesting until I got to the video, Way too "artsy-fartsy" for me. Too much "art", not enough info!

Don't let the video give you the wrong impression; it appears to be a well thought out system. Takes 10/22 mags and the rail system at the top allows for what's probably the most modular components I've seen in a while. Might have to pick one up. :)
