I kind of like the looks of it, looks space age. Many years ago I loaded some of my home made haft jacket bullets loads for my buddies original 51.

I like the looks of it...... The one picture makes it look like a Ray Gun from a Science Fiction Movie. Other aspects of the design remind me of a Walther PPK S-1. Interesting.

I had a gun when I was a kid that shot little yellow plastic discs. I am certain it was the prototype.

Interesting, I especially like the idea of the SA trigger. Design wise, I'd have preferred more simple lines, but it's not a deal breaker (I once owned a Beretta U22 Neos ::)).

I once owned an AMC Gremlin. I took it on trade and sold it, but I did drive it around. Did I mention it had a "customized" moon scene over the rear fenders. Sweeeeeeeet.

I was always a Chevy guy. Didn't mean I didn't like the look of a Nissan or a Fiat.

I was also a little put-off with the sculpting on the Remington. Hand guns are not in the Remington wheelhouse. That makes it easier to note it weighs more than my LC9, but looks better than a shield with a price better than either. Also, who would have guessed a. 380 version of the LC9 would be a good idea?

I just want to take one one of these to the range and give it a try.

That's too funny! My first new car was a '74 AMC Gremlin with a 5.0 liter V8. Mine had headers, and big wheels and back tires. It was a handful on snowy, icy streets of Indy Winters. I guess we're 2 of a kind. I almost included the Gremlin as an example of my quirky choices.

This needs to be covered more. The Gremlin I took in on a trade also had the V8 and I believe it was 3 speed on the floor. I traded for it my senior year so therefore you can go ahead and assume I was an idiot. If I tried to pull a hole shot (or peel out as we called it then) it would wheel hop so bad that the glove box would open. So of course I would put stuff in the glove box and then tell my friends I could open it without touching it, immediately dump the clutch triggering Mr. Toad's wild ride and opening up the glove compartment. It was a crowd pleaser to be sure.

One more thing. The one I traded for had the Levi interior, which I assume was cool at one time. But when I got it, it looked like a bomb had went off and both front seats were pretty much yellow foam with assorted strips of thin denim material. I only had it a short time before I sold it to a guy named "Squid". They were made for each other.

Mine was an automatic. The only thing that failed on the car was the transmission. The transmission was made by Chrysler. American Motors was an accurate title, I also found parts on it made by GM and Ford. I didn't experience the wheel hop problem, probably due to very stiff air shocks I put on it to clear the big back tires. The brakes were a joke, didn't want to work when it was raining. I can't believe I survived that car!

Oh yeah. One more weird thing about the Gremlin. Although I only owned it a short time, it is the only vehicle I ever hit a pig with. No kidding. Driving home from work. Hit a pig standing in the road. Pig dead. Gremlin lived to fight another day. ;D

Oh, did you mean the Remington? Me and silverfox were going a different direction.
