This unique and fascinating pistol is another one-off piece from my collection. It appears to be a prototype turn bolt action single shot pistol chambered in 380 ACP. Its overall design seems to draw inspiration from the Welrod pistols of old.
The pistol features a 4.5-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist. The barrel and receiver are all one piece. The frame from this pistol is identical to the one for the 22-mystery pistol. The turn handle is knurled and the pistol does come equipped with iron sights. Despite its unconventional appearance, it has proven to be a reliable and fun pistol.
