The Boberg Engineering pocket pistol uses a new feed system to allow a full length barrel in a pocket sized pistol. Link to Boberg home page below:

Darn and I thought I was done buying hand guns. Very cool new design, I wonder how long it will be before S&W, Colt, Kahr; etc. will be fielding their own modified designs? Imagine how light it would be with a composite frame. A very interesting find, thanks for sharing it with the group.
So many toys and so little money, sigh.

I love it but I have a feeling a 2nd mortgage will be necessary to acquire such new technology... :'(

Its nice, but....I'd like to see more ino on this bad boy. It gots way to many moving parts. Looks like it works like a Luger ... harder to repair than a Toyoto.

Looks very much like the loading carriage from some of the big auto loading cannon to me, very probably where he got the idea. Darn sharp of him to put multiple unique ideas together like that. I can't wait to see what the big boys do with the concept. Any one seen a price yet?

I wonder about the reliability. In most current semi-autos, the slide strips the round from the top of the magazine and pushes it up into the chamber in one step. This pistol yanks the cartridge backward out of the magazine before it pushes it up into the chamber - two steps. A nice, short design, but that's a lot of movement to fire that next round.
