Its not a bad idea for legally carrying somewhere that you really do not want to have it known that you're carrying.

It's appealing to someone who is not supposed be carrying but wants to anyway. IE at a job where it's prohibited to.

With this you can fold it up and stick in a front pocket compared to trying to hide belt clips or carrying a smaller caliber in a pocket. Some guys here have run into that problem and this would solve it.

The draw would be way slower but once drawn and open, you have a full sized grip on a real caliber with more capacity.

You pretty much layed out the reason I'm interested in it.

yup deff not a oh shit some dude is mugging me at the ATM or on my walk home or in my car type gun. but a im at the office where im not really supposed to have one maybe, and oh shit i just heard some shots down the hallway, now you arent stuck with someshit pocket micro mouse .32acp or .380 and have a full on glock 19 with even a glock 17 maybe mag you can get ready to go somewhat fast (just not as fast as an actual g19 but still)

Seems kind of ridiculously big for any kind of concealment still. I sure can't see having that in a pocket

"it is about the same size as an Iphone" soooooo yea

Except that it's not at all. Look at the front of the slide to the rear of the grip when it's folded. Even it were, an Iphone doesn't have that kind of bulk. It would look like you had a brick in your pocket.

i disagree. many people carry much larger phones than an iphone, plus an otter box and what not... with that being said in a pair of slacks or those dumb ass 5.11 pants it will not be bulky one but, shit i used to carry my chopped G19 in my work slacks pants in a pocket holster no issue what so ever and it was a much larger foot print than this thing

This one may be a little better but it's an 80 percent. You can do that yourself if you cut your own grip.

only thing i like from the other over this is the other folds into read to rock and roll once you rack the slide. but this also isnt a bad option since again this isnt for a daily carry against a mugging but for other options

Who here has a Sig 320? This would be a good, cheap project since it's only a 40 dollar frame. Just cut the grip and attach the magazine to the rail.

I just did some basic math and photoshop measuring based on the length of the g19 from sight to sight. From the front of the slide to where the rear of the grip winds up folded it's approximately just under 5 inches. No ones phone is 5 inches wide, and obviously no ones phone has a width of about 1.2 inches..heh

Standard glock 19 height = 4.99 in . Just about exactly how wide the folded gun is at the widest point.

 

[Marine Cpl]

I've got an even better idea. I should patent it. How about carrying a Glock slide in one pocket and the frame in the other? When you hear shooting down the hallway at your job, you stick your hands in both pockets, bring them up in front of yourself, and rack them together in one motion.

5 inches wide? dont you mean long?

Lets see samsung Note 8 (not an unusal "phone" "phablet" what ever you want to call it for someone to have and carry)

Note 8 is 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.6 mm
galaxy 8+ 159.5 x 73.4 x 8.1 mm

now we ill have some fun ..... i will change those numbers to inches sooo
Note 8 is 6.39 2.9 x .338 in
Galaxy 8+ 6.28 x 2.88 x x31 in

wait are we trying to say that the length of a samsung is longer than a glock 19 ooohhh and the width ok thats minor AF especially when people start putting cases like otter boxes on their phones... im still trying to find this 5 inch wide phone?

You seem to have misunderstood me .. ? I think ? I'm confused by your post. No, I didn't mean long.. I meant wide.

That thing when folded, would be g19 length ( 7.36 in) , and somewhere between 4.5 and 5 inches wide at it's widest point.

To the drawing board and shark tank

ok i see what width you mean now but still its not really that much bigger than phones these days. unless people are wearing their sisters/wifes jeans.

I don't have one, and certainly never planned on having one, but I've got to admit that I kind of want to do it just to do it. I don't have a need for such a thing, but it would be a cool novelty if nothing else.

How is no FFL required on a receiver? I'm a bit lost here.

It's for a Sig p320 so no that is not a receiver. The actual registered firearm portion of the p320 is the chassis pic below for reference. You can buy new and different grip frames all day online hella cheap shipped to your front door...
