Looks pretty neat. It's very clearly yet another gun based on the CZ-75 clone design , but it does have some cool looking lines.

Nice fire arm. Just wonder if there will be any chambering confusion when buying ammo being it's chambered to C.I.P. specs.
Well you can anticipate not having any ammo for it for at least 18 months.

That will definitely solve any potential chambering problems for the time being. LOL!
When the 17 HMR came out I was one of the first guys in the area to pick up one. I ordered it with 2000 rounds. I got the rifle and 6 months later got the ammo.
If I am going to get a gun in any caliber I don't already have I pick up 1500 round of it first then buy the gun.
Holy cow..
Seems pretty cool. Looks very cool. Doubt the cartridge will catch on though. Didn't see much info on the cartridge itself. They basically trying to resurrect the 7.62x25 or something?
While I agree it probably wont catch on, the more I read about this gun and the cartridge the more I am impressed.
What I would really like is someone to come out with a .224 BOZ for civilian sale, with dies and load data.

Looks like a 357sig on steroids. Def digging the design idea and displayed performance. Yes, giving the current way of things, would be a while before it would be able to have a mainstream-ish chance. Obviously it's for a niche market but I would be interested but that's because I like oddball stuff like this.

Remember the old 30 caliber and 44 and 35 magnum automag pistols?
Nothing new here although it seems a well executed pistol.
I think for a modern large frame pistol easy to do it will be hard to find something easier and more
practical than the 9x25 dillon. This will produce more momentum and power than the BRNO above. Lone wolf has the barrels.

As I read more about it the more doomed it seems. 6" slide? 3 lb weight? At a time when militaries LE and armed civilians are switching to ever smaller and lighter arms? Seems dicey to me.
Cartridge seems okay, though its just an updated 7.62x25 Tokarev. Would make a great PDW round, better than the 5.7x28.

Better is relative. W/o a purpose and function we do not know. For hunting like the above the dillon would be a more powerful (more momentum) on the target.
The 5.7 FN does a few things very well but if one is planning ot reload is a royal PITA so this is something to consider. The same applies to any 22 in
a small pistol case but the 5.7 FN i hard to beat in terms of reloading headache.
So something to consider too in order to select the caliber. For people with generous budgets that shoot only factory then this is not important.
