The Palm Pistol


via its website:

What is the Palm Pistol?

The Palm Pistol is an ergonomically innovative single shot double action only defensive firearm chambered in 9mm that may be fired using either hand without regard to orientation of the stock. Suited for home defense, concealed carry or as a backup gun. It is also ideal for seniors, disabled or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity. Using the thumb instead of the index finger for firing, it significantly reduces muzzle drift, one of the principal causes of inaccurate targeting. Point and shoot couldn't be easier.

Foxnews says it looks like a giant bean. {The computer rendering is shown above.} The barrel protrudes through the user's fingers.

Constitution Arms, who is selling the gun, has had it certified as a Class 1 medical device, which will make it reimbursable for some with a doctor's prescription. The cost will be about 300 dollars.
