Palm Pistol Completes 10,000 Round Endurance Testing

MAPLEWOOD, NJ - -(AmmoLand.com)- Endurance testing of the Palm Pistol prototype was completed in August, 2010.

The procedure consisted of firing 10,000 standard rounds and 100 proof loads. Every 500 rounds, the gun was completely disassembled and subjected to wet fluorescent magnetic particle inspection (MPI) by an ASTM certified non-destructive testing laboratory.

One more reason for muggers to fear old ladies- God Bless the USA!

[Richard Simmons]

I'm guessing pocket carry? Can't see the sense for a holster other than perhaps an ankle rig for use as a backup to a backup. Still a neat and contemprary take on a really old design. Too bad it's not a repeater like the original.

[mriddick]

Good now when 500 or so people buy them they know they will last :)

[blobman]

thats cool,need a dbl. tho.

[alismith]

Dat's gots gangsta-hold written all obers it. Yo!:bighair:

[weevil]

A single shot 9mm???




Other than as a suicide device what's the point???

A new twist on anold idea. These were patented in 1883.

Isn't that one a repeater? You'd think in 140 years they'd atleast stay up with the design of the original. I just don't see a single shot that you have to be within striking range of using to be effective as a great seller unless they are so cheap you can buy one with throwaway money...

Now that right there is going to piss off the Brady bunch. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Can I get mine threaded for a suppressor?

Interesting idea for a one shot.

The Protector was a 7-shot pistol chambered in .32 Extra Short. I have yet to see an MSRP for the new Palm Pistol.

It would be a nice surprise.

Btw, "Optional Picatinny rail for accessorizing" lol

[old Grump]

Granny with a charm bracelet or necklace, boogerman with messy pants when helpless target has big teeth and a nasty bite. Especially if the shot is from point blank range and about 4 1/2" below his belly button. Possible with a 4'11" great grandmother and a 5'10" mugger.

[skorpion]

Imagine how long it took them to fire 10,000 single shots! This thing doesn't look too speedy to reload, either.

[ATAK, Inc.]

It would be a nice surprise.

Don't let Printerman here about that, before you know it, it will have 8 useless gadgets hanging on it!

There were some functional/ergonomic issues that surfaced which will be addressed in the production model.
I imagine somebody’s fingers thumbs and hands are sore. LOL

[matshock]

It would be a nice surprise.

You bet- grandma could stick that under a mugger's chin and shower in his brains. Don't fuck with grandma.

That would make a great headline...

No, I have a weak stomach. However, if it had a bayonet lug I would consider it... lol

[weevil]

I want one with a chain sling!

HA!Maybe a 91/30 bayonet?

Well of course, it wouldn't be complete without it!

Palm Pistol Status Report January 2011

MAPLEWOOD, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- After months of design and multiple latch safety iterations, the drop test was successfully completed. The test involved dropping the working prototype, loaded with a primed casing, onto each of its six cardinal directions (muzzle, rear of stock, latch side, barrel hinge side and two trigger sides) from a five foot height onto steel plate without the gun firing.

The gun was dropped under two configurations. These were “normally cocked” and “latch safety engaged” condition. The latch side drop with latch safety engaged proved to be the crux that made the test so difficult and time consuming. An additional latch safety overrotation spring was added which enabled the latch and the latch safety to work independently of each other and proved to be the key to passing the test. This installation required modifications of the latch, latch safety and receiver.

Only 8? :D

Granny could say "ain't that a strange looking middle finger..."


So you want to printerize it?

Hell no, I'll leave that you to add a can. :lool:

Steve,
10,000 rounds?

Mot with my hand. lol

If someone with truly malicious intent is so close that you can punch them in the head...

I wonder if that would actually be positive from a self defense standpoint? It's only one shot, and the machines effective range is basically "Oh god, there's a murderer right on top of you! What do you do?!?!?". Kind of the opposite of the features commonly deamonized on firearms these days.

[Schuetzenman]

Damn this is a funny thread! Funniest one I've read in maybe a year!:laughingtohard:

[HDR]

With one of those in your hand it would be one hell of a punch.

Is it good enough to kill in your hands and are you good enough answers that question for everyone.


It's only one shot,

That is also all that is needed.

[1 Patriot-of-many]

Good now when 500 or so people buy them they know they will last :)

LOL That's about right....stupid idea.

[Kadmos]

Apparently a rail and laser are optional http://www.palmpistol.com/?ammoland

I'm not sure how you could aim the thing with any confidence without a laser, unless it really was pressed up against someone.

[Vorkutinetz]

Neat, but where do you attach a bayonet?

[ATAK, Inc.]

I heard a rumor that there is an option for a modified Soumi drum!


ETA: Squeezing something 10,000 times to make it discharge 10,000 times, I could do it! :lool:

[Dr. Gonzo GED]

Is it good enough to kill in your hands and are you good enough answers that question for everyone.
.
Having never killed someone with a gun, I honestly have no personal reference to compare lethality too. But yeah, I'm pretty confident an uppercut / non-accidental discharge would be a sufficient fight ender.

As for "answering for everybody". If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have asked that question in the first place Top. ;)

Everybody answers for themselves because no one else can.

[Solidus-snake]

If it was dirt cheap, it wouldnt be bad for a backup. Also if a mugger DOES get the upper hand gets close enough to grab you, itd be a good option.

Either as a roll of quarters with a steel extension or a loud noise?

[bgummer]

This pistol reminds me of this WWII oddity, you would have to punch somebody to fire it, the .38 "glove gun"...

Single-shot, thumb-operated Palm Pistol set for 2011 release

By Zeb Leonard
23:41 April 3, 2011

The use of firearms for self-defense is a divisive issue, with weapons, especially concealable ones, being easily misappropriated for wrong-doing. While we're reluctant to suggest adding more guns to the equation, the newly developed single-shot Palm Pistol does have some worthwhile qualities as a defensive weapon for non-aggressors.

In an adrenalin-charged self-defense scenario, a person untrained in the use of a firearm may be prone to a fatal error. They may fail to properly draw, ready and aim their weapon, or may simply miss. Due for release this year, the Palm Pistol (http://www.palmpistol.com/) is designed to give non-aggressors a better chance of surviving a violent attack.

I can see you having that in your hand. Then the supposed potential attacker turns out to be a lost soul looking for directions to the bus stop. You are several streets over and while you ponder the best way to answer the question you unthinkingly reach up to scratch your head.

Doc, I have this splitting headache and apparently a bowel movement problem. :wow:
On the other hand if you were up to no good it would be a neat little gadget to have. Gamblers little buddy if he is caught dealing from the bottom of the deck?

I handled one of those at a gun show this past year. It was in beautiful, operating condition too. The guy was asking around $4,000 for it If I remember right.

John Snow’s Criticism Of The Palm Pistol

MAPLEWOOD, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Dear Mr. Snow:

Your recent review posted at www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gun-shots/2011/04/strange-guns-palm-pistol is highly critical of my design. The single shot Palm Pistol(r) has several advantages over a traditionally configured defensive handgun.

I think they should make it prescription only and give it to crack heads as an inhaler.
