Are you talking the Gilboa Snake double-barreled AR? Strange piece of kit, apparently the Tanzanian special forces were conned into these.
I feel like the P9 and the CZ 52 pistol share some similar lines, in a good way. The P9 has some of that early 90s rounded design, smoothing over the brutalist angles on the bloc 52.

Great find—this is exactly what I was looking for from this thread! The cam-based recoil system allowing for polymer frame rails seems unique—everything else I can think of has some sort of metal integrated into its frame rails. Thanks for sharing, I’ll enjoy this rabbit hole.I think the Ruger P345 is my favorite under rated hand gun. They sometimes show up for under $400 in the classifieds.

Ruger P345 - Our Honest Review - Gun News Daily
Ruger P-Series pistols have a reputation for being trustworthy, durable, and rugged. The Ruger P345 certainly fits. See specs and how to buy.
Couldn’t agree more—I went to Czechia a few years ago and fell in love with the place. The design choices on the CZ 52 bring me back—I always keep an eye out for C&R eligible copies, plus a 9mm conversion barrel.
What a bummer this needs to exist for misguided compliance reasons - I feel like I saw one of these for sale at Precision Point Firearms in Woburn a few years back. Caught my eye, but not a buy.This is the Troy equivalent of the pump action rifle. And they take Ar mags.

I know they'll probably never do it but I really want them to make a gen 5 - 32. It just sucks now that the ammo is so expensive I should have bought it all up during covid I bought a few thousand rounds because it was actually kind of cheap in relative terms but I'd like to have a hell of a lot more than that. .357 Sig is absolutely rape even at dealer cost in a lot of cases. Nice shooting cartridge though. It's like ++P++ 9mm. You feel it but the muzzle flip is way lower than 40 is.
The P345 wouldn't suck so much if it wasn't larded up with all the safety bullshit if they had made it more like the P95 DC it would make a lot more sense and it probably would have sold five times the amount of units. They should have sold it as a pro series. Same with the SR9C etc. I can't stomach the gay pride flag that comes up when the gun is loaded.I think the Ruger P345 is my favorite under rated hand gun. They sometimes show up for under $400 in the classifieds.

JFC, just dremel the LCI down and STFU about it.
That's stupid because then you have this thing that's stuck there flapping around and still collecting dirt. I'm trying to remember who it was but at some point there was some company that actually made an insert. That's not even the biggest problem. It's just the flag that tells you it sucks. There's no decock only version and there's no version that doesn't have a f***ing mag safety and it either as far as I know. And I know you can defeat the mag safety but it's still stupid to have to do all that shit to a gun that should just have been offered that way to begin with. It wouldn't have cost them a million dollars or something to make another SKU. They would have been able to pay for it with the amount of guns they would have sold had they done so.
Although the ruger american was basically a pile of shit ergonomically. I had ruger fanbois even rejecting that pile.Unlike the .40, the .357 Sig is dying a death as I don't know of any LE agencies that still use it. Because of that the ammo price is only going to climb ever higher and even tho they're just a barrel change of a .40 away most people are not going to bother to do that due to the ammo cost.
Crazy to think Ruger's most successful full size pistol design was the P series.That's stupid because then you have this thing that's stuck there flapping around and still collecting dirt.

Ruger does this over and over, although at least with some of the newer guns they got the right idea by offering multiple variants. At least they're not (usually) pulling a Kel Tec, where they have tons of great ideas that usually have like that one massive design flaw that ruins the whole thing.
Ruger keeps making them because that's their primary market ....they don't (and likely won't) be able to sell shit to law enforcement so it would make sense that they're trying to sell to Joe/Jane average. This market craves cheap, sometimes weird shit. 380 provides low recoil. It's precisely the type of carry gun that can be sold to Joe Public's wife or elderly family members etc. Plus there's a dovetail there with jingoism- a lot of older gun buyers are all about the buy american thing, too. The other thing Ruger is good at is taking an idea that was poorly executed by somebody else and manufacturing it a lot better. The LCP series is the outcome of that.
it's literally one of the best in class vs worse. The lockwork is clean and the guns are glock level durable for something as complex as a DA revolver is. 
.40 is losing popularity in LE and IDK how popular it ever was for non-LE, but when the used .40's are $100 less next to used 9's, the average person who is buying their first gun is looking to spend as little as possible knowing they are going to shoot it little. Those .40s will sell along with a few boxes of ammo and the buyer will be happy they walk away paying less than they did for a 9mm and ammo because they're not gun people and don't know any better.Outside of (some) feds and a handful of agencies here and there most didn't go for 357 sig. It basically was the air marshal round.
.40 is dying hard too. Even in LE. The only reason the ammo is still around is because the installed base of guns is gigantic. There are millions of the things around.
This begs the question of what is it you are wanting from .357 Sig? You want it for a carry piece to run to the cigar store? A 9mm can do that just fine. You want it to go hiking in NH moose fukk and cum territory? 10mm or .45 is gonna be better for that.
that and Smith should have done a few things with the platform. I had one of the 4-in guns at one point and I sold it to a member here years ago hopefully he's still enjoying the thing.
