So I am friends with the owner/creators, Cy and Lauren Hudson. Cy and I served together in 1-25 in Alaska, he is a West Point grad, former Infantry Officer. He is a complete gun geek and has been designing this pistol since I met him back in 2010. His wife Lauren has done many things including contracting in Afghanistan while we were deployed there.
I have asked him some questions about it. Plan on getting one when I can. Him and his team are keeping everything pretty close hold on all the details.
His words on magazines:
"The magazine is built off the 5906 tube, which - if you care for your history- was based on the hi-power (P35) tube they adapted for the S&W 39 to make it double stack during Nam...Aka MK22 Hush puppy. Due to our low frame on grip (not frame...anybody noticed this is a chassis system?), we have to make proprietary cuts. Using this tube allows it to be a proven design, but truly our own, which allows us to use a yoked trigger with a streamlined profile. Our slide is a true 1 inch side to side. The grip panels are what make it 1.24. So yes, it's a proprietary magazine."
Also he assures me they have thought through the weapon light issue. So, I look forward to getting one.
