I hate it when that happens. Looks like a good place to get accurate firearms information. All the best...

The For Sale label was most likely written for them by an out of work journalist they hired.

Well, I've heard of rim fire 44's and pin fire 45's, recon it's about time somebody tried a rim fire 9mm. Wink

My first thought was that is stupid... then I looked closer and it is a Glock, so you can't be sure. Smile

Maybe they wanted to build a new revolver in a new caliber.

Paul, have a look at the 9 mm Flobert, a 9 mm rimfire that shoots shot and balls…
but no, we don't have a GP in 9 mm Flobert as once found in our state register, but they also had Mickey Mouse registered as owner of a pistol… Smile

BTW: I once saw an italian made semi-auto 9 mm Flobert shotgun, I've even tried it on pigeons but my finger was to weak for that kind of trigger... (and I learned the hard way not to work on triggers of cheap semi-auto's.)

Plenty of them still around over here - called "garden guns" because they're so low powered they can be used safely in pretty small areas.

Here in the FLemish part of Belgium a lot of them went sadly into the oven as rimfire is not allowed for hunting and the use of lead shot is forbiden even for clay-shooting… but they are very nice old things and IMHO when you get your hands on a (French) Saint-Etienne it will surprise you with its performance.

A rim-fire 9mm semi-auto shotgun?
I'll bet ammo is scarce as hen's teeth.

I think that is one orphan that I will let go. Wink

I am known to favor orphan cartridges... Sad

Honestly that's as good, and accurate, as many of the headlines I see on "news" stories these days.

I hereby admit guilt for changing konw to know in the thread title, as it was ramping up my OCD to dangerous levels...

ammo is not scarce. Maybe in the States? Here have a look at Fiocchi and RWS...

on the other hand: lead-free ammo for the 9 mm Flobert is something I've never seen...
