SiCo Maxim. Yea or Nay?

I want to see some longer term reliability tests. But since I'm assuming it will do fine then I say yes.

I don't think there is much of a market for these. Although it is cool and I would take one for the right price.. Integral do suppressors make a lot of sense to me on rifles because they can minimize the barrel length while avoiding the SBR stamp which is a pain for many reasons (plus they can be more quiet) . This pistol is too big to carry which makes it basically a range toy. I just don't see the advantage over a regular suppressor which I can take on and off easily. Since there are no laws on barrel length of pistols I can't imagine these becoming very popular.
Dang it man. This is the mother freagin gun you break your glass case cabinet for after you and your whole family were celebrating retirement on an island and while you were having a beer - your family was gunned down by revenge driven sociopaths who held a grudge over someone you popped in the line of duty.
You managed to survive and instead of some Dumbass skull engraved 1911s with compensators - you grab this Maxim integrally suppressed hand cannon and put the fear of God into them as you snuff our their buddies one by one.
Where is your faith man!?
Do we know anything about the price point?
As it stands I would have to pass. It's ugly and awkward looking. It certainly doesn't have the cool factor of a threaded gun with a can attached. I don't see the appeal of an integrally suppressed pistol anyway. I'm not gonna say it's a novelty, it may very well be the start of something awesome, but it's not for me as it is right now.
That said, if it's surprisingly affordable, I'd probably own one just cause 'merica. But I'd have to hold it, shoot it and be pleasantly surprised first.

Hell yeah it will. Just not to me. I'd rather have a suppressor that I can attach to a host of hosts. A veritable bevy of badassery. Not a can that leaves me stuck with one(probably underwhelming) firearm choice. I just don't see it. It looks like an M&P with that elephantiasis disease.
That's what I'm thinking. I'd rather have a suppressor to move around to different hosts, hell, I don't know anything about the pistol aside from the fact that it has an integral suppressor. That's a big commitment on an unproven, and ugly as sin pistol.
If the HPA passes then it would be more feasible, but $1700 (including the stamp) is a lot of money for a pistol.
The cost isn't even the issue for me, it's the lack of modularity. I'd pass at $600.
If that's the case then I'm not even gonna touch one. Might catch something.

Doesn't float my boat! Bet they don't sell too many to civilians. Might have a use in covert ops but still a large gun to tote. You would think that with all the materials and technology available that it could have been trimmed down a bit. Plus, there will be a time when hot ammo will have to be shot and then a suppressor is not so stealthy!
