Anyone handled a Boberg? Hoot?

I think their point is that by drawing the cartridge FROM the magazine it goes into the barrel further back, so while the firearms LOA is the same as a 26 the barrel is longer and so more velocity is possible.
As to the feed lips. I'm wondering if they aren't as stressed as the more conventional magazine. The front "lip"'s purpose is obvious, it serves to keep the round correctly positioned just as the rear of the magazine does in a conventional magazine.
They do have problems with poorly crimped ammo as it will apparently yank the case right off the bullet!
The price isn't that ridiculous when you look what some folks are paying for other pistols including 1911s. As to sales, they apparently have all they can handle for the moment. I guess we'll see!
