G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for sharing Ripp.

You can kinda see, how these people new what they wanted to achieve....... but that they didn't quite have it yet.
Some great pistols there but like any new thing, the evolution of this design, needed something from Out of the Blue/Left Field, to get things headed in the right direction.
