Biggest CCW
I've been thinking I could have the biggest, baddest concealed carry pistol if I created a new cartridge and then a gun to go with it. Sounds hard but it could be really quite easy.
1. Shorten a brass 12ga shotgun shell to 1 1/2 inches or so and then load it with a single round ball. Designate this as the "75 THOR" or something similar (12 GA. is actually 0.729 in diameter).
2. Write up a short piece for a magazine about the cartridge using any full size
12 ga shotgun as the testing gun. Establishes the cartridge legally
3. Get one of the companies making custom shotguns to build you a "pistol" chambered for standard 12 GA using a rifled barrel. Since the "Pistol" has a rifled barrel and is chambered for a cartridge shooting a single projectile it would be a legal pistol requiring no special permits, the fact it also chambers and fires regular 12 is of no consequence... The only sticking point legally might be the bore size but since the 50 caliber barrier was broke many years ago (577, 700 NE etc), probably just a small bureaucratic hurdle to be overcome.
If you doubt my logic consider all the pistols out there that feature dual chambers for 45 Colt / 410 shotgun such as the recently introduced Taurus Judge revolver.
BTW: This would really satisfy the LDBG (little d++k, big gun) market.
This could be really cool with flechettes...
