I saw it on the internet, it must be true! (Modern version of “saw it in a comic book ad, it must be true”)

Um, are we discussing the same video? The S333 Thunderstruck? I'll give them six months before they fold, having sold less than 10 specimens.

I just don’t get it. Guess it’s not for me.
Gimmicky, like the Rhino.

Hey, they had me at "massive energy". "High velocity" helped too. LOL. Kinda think a time tested aluminum framed 38 J-frame a better choice. Not enough capacity for the kiddies and not a big enough hole in the end of the barrel for us old guys.

reminds me of the COP, four shot SS derringer. Long trigger pull!!! I don’t get the needing two fingers for the trigger.

It is kind of funny when you watch the second instance of shooting into a block of ice. Yes, the gun hand doesn't move, neither does the ice block. Just two little holes through it. Obviously bullet selection makes a difference but still kind of funny to me.

I suppose I am the contrarian on this, but I am glad to see manufacturers designing something different. Standard Manufacturing has come out with some interesting firearms. The DP-12, along with the SKO Mini are a breath of fresh air, as far as designs. These may not appeal to everyone, but innovation is a good thing. I was one of those who criticized that plastic POS Glock. Look what it has done for innovation. They don't have the soul of a nice 1911, but those "damn plastic guns" sure do work when you need it to.
I don't think I will be getting a S333 Thunderstruck, but I also said the same thing about Glocks, and I may have a 1/2 dozen of those. (When you don't know how many guns you have, means you almost have enough. Or maybe you need more.)  So who knows?
I bet there are few on this board that wouldn't mind having a Standard Manufacturing Single Action, or their 1911.  I know I would like one of each.
Mobjack Don't be in a rush to judge. The S333 may end up being the new Glock.
 I *NEED* one of these. |

Oh I'm not judging them, their products are very well made and if they offered a bisley spur on one of their SA guns I would have already bought it. Not my cup of tea but nothing wrong with new ideas if folks want to buy it.

Oh, I am all for new blood, new ideas in the firearm industry. I am against the ad folks LYING. This gun marketed, meant for CCW, defense of life. Will YOU be buying any to give to your loved ones ? Nope nope nope. Kinda like "racing improves the breed", an idea here and there may be gleaned from new efforts though.

Think "collectors item".
I had a HK P7 I couldn't give away..same with the COP 357.
Now look at prices.

Interesting idea...not for me but interesting.
If it fires 2 bullets with a single pull of the trigger doesn't that meet the definition of a machine gun per the NFA, thus making it a post 86 sample and illegal to transfer except for a Class III / SOT?
They say it is "volley fire" thus legal to possess however I am not aware of any language in the NFA that mentions or even eludes to volley fire.
