Folding Pocket-Sized Gun
 ✖  |
A new .22-caliber pistol by Standard Manufacturing, LLC, called the Switch Gun, is designed to instantly unfold and transform into a single-action, five-round revolver in a split second. When folded, the Switch Gun will take up about the same amount of space in your pocket as a cell phone.
The dimensions are 2 1/8 by 3 3/4 by 3/4 in. when folded.
“It’s first and foremost designed for self-protection,” Frutuoso says. “The small form factor also makes it easy for farmers to carry around and chase off any vermin or smaller predators from their farmyards.”
Although it’s small, the gun is built from solid components like CNC-machined stainless steel for the frame and barrel. It’s a single-action folding revolver with a barrel length of .88 in. The grip is made of injection-molded polymer, and the total gun weight is 9 oz. when loaded.
“It’s a spring-loaded gun,” says Louie Frutuoso, founder of Standard Manufacturing. “You hit a button, the grip springs open, and it’s immediately ready to discharge five .22-Magnum cartridges.”
“When the spring action is closed, it’s impossible to shoot the gun,” he says. “The handle completely covers the trigger and the firing mechanism because it’s a full-sized grip.”
There are other small guns on the market like this, but Frutuoso says their grips are incredibly small. The Switch Gun features a large handle to help provide a tremendous amount of grip, similar to that of a full-size revolver. That provides the highest degree of control and accuracy.
The Switch Gun sells for $449 plus S&H.
