There's been a few. The Coonan is closely based on the 1911, and aims for a similar (enough) size, and then there's the LAR Grizzly pistols, which are like cutting two 1911s apart to then weld them together for making one longer front to back (in fact, that was what the prototype Grizzly was exactly). The Grizzly is pretty fat and bulky, but it's also intended for big and hefty cartridges like .45 Winchester Magnum and .50 Action Express, and it has some compatibility with normal 1911 parts. Then you've got the AMC Auto Mag, a short-recoil Magnum with a rotating bolt head and proprietary .44AMP cartridge, also the later AMT Automag, which is more like the common Browning short-recoil and slide setup (and made kind of poorly). The Wildey uses a rotating bolt with a gas piston, one which has an adjustable gasblock, and I always wondered why the Desert Eagle never had this as an option. For some which never entered production, I'm aware of a .357 Magnum one from I think Switzerland, which is essentially a big Luger if the toggle was sideways. There's the Magmatic, which I don't recall that much about actually, but I kind of wonder why that floundered. The earliest I can think of is the NAACO Brigadier, which was a very wacky post-WW2 military initiative in Canada, with the intent to make a sidearm which could reliably stop in a single shot. This manifested as a giant sized Browning Hi-Power chambered for .45 NAACO, which is virtually identical to the later .45 Winchester Magnum Unsurprisingly, most found this a difficult sidearm to handle, and the proposition of making a select-fire carbine conversion kit I don't think ever even came to prototyping.

@alexwalker2582

This is basically a modification of the Browning action seen in most modern firearms, pioneered by John Moses Browning with the 1911. Instead of the standard Browning action, where the outside end tips up and allows the round to be pushed up into the barrel, this design is the reverse, where the inside end tips up and the round pushes down into the barrel. From the looks of things the result is remarkably less barrel flip combined with extremely low bore axis allowing for much better accuracy and faster follow up shots. A really well thought out design I must say.

As someone who loves cyberpunk fiction, I think this is awesome. As someone who loves new firearm designs, I think this is awesome. Earlier this week, a Forgotten Weapons video covered the newest version of the Laugo Alien, and I couldn't help wondering if a Browning-style tilting barrel could be flipped upside down. And this pistol seems to say yes, the recoil spring can go on top, with a barrel on the bottom that tilts upward. The most interesting part of this in a practical sense is the magazine capacity - it looks like the position where the magazine meets the chamber is very close to where that happens on a normal pistol. The Alien loses a round or two for its magazine size, thanks to the lower position of the barrel. This pistol seems to have a loading position very close to a normal pistol, allowing for magazines designed around feeding ammunition to a barrel overtop of the recoil spring. The most interesting part of the design is the location of the firing pin/fire control group. I would be very interested to see a disassembly video, but fully understand why that wouldn't happen.

If inventing you must check patents because a lot of ideas the public don't see. But the Patent Office knows, and will not grant a patent even if the other one never worked, because the Patent Office doesn't know if it worked or not. 🙂

I was thinking in a tilting up barrel as a means to increase reliability on conventional designs. That has 2 advantages: one, you can feed the bullet strait to the chamber, no ramps required. Ideal for hollow points. Two, when extracting the case, its is pointing to the outside of the gun, not the inside like a traditional Browning action. That reduces the possibility of a "stove pipe" failure. Imagine a Beretta 92 built that way. The thing would be unstoppable.

I like how the breech tilts up to unlock. Already looks like a blade-runner weapon. Can't wait to see it in movies and on shelves. Pruno

Looks like something you'd see in a movie. Interesting design.

Thats dope

Wildebeest is the correct spelling for the African Gnu. The inventor may be an ex-pat South African. This pistol seems to follow the design philosophy, " 'n boer maak 'n plan ". Or the inventors identify as African explorers. Or Ozzy explorers...

I am an Aussie (of Dutch descent coincidently). Simply Rhino was taken, and I didn't like Hippopotamus or Aardvark. 😁

That's pretty cool, I always appreciate a different action type!

Will it cycle 38 special , that would make it more versatile.

The reverse tilting barrel is a cool idea for rimmed cartridges

Looks like something an 80s scifi action hero would have

It really has a brutalist vibe (as in the architecture style). It would match pretty well with the latest map that @AntonHand is making for H3.

I've sketched a gun that looks/works like this a billion times, it's really cool to see that it can actually exist!

Well you should have patented it like me. Don't go to court and show the US patent office your date verified sketches otherwise I'm in trouble. 😁

@@ImpulseResearch I'm gonna get a BILLION patents and become the low-bore axis .357 kingpin with the cool vaguely Ruger .22/C96 slide that has the nubbin on the back you pull OF ALL TIME!!!! Seriously though, very cool gun!

I like the looks and having a new semi-auto 357 mag is always welcome! Looks like a steampunk/sci-fi tank of a pistol.

It's VERY professional looking, like something that's been around for decades.

This man has made the quintessential "Florida Man" pistol.

That might be one of the coolest handguns I've ever seen, sign me up!

I like the fact it doesnt have a bunch of unnecessary nooks and crannies. Slab sided no extra bullshit. I dig it. 👍

This gun is like something from a futuristic sci fi movie.

This thing is GORGEOUS.

its a pretty sexy gun, i hope he gets the chance to develop and sell it widely

That's a really cool firearm, but I'd like to see it adapted to more modern standards - handier mag release, bolt hold-open, and perhaps something like an extension to the charging handle that wraps around the frame, making it possible to rack it like a more traditional handgun

Gotta take baby steps. Most of those features are planned for the production version. 🙂

@@ImpulseResearchOh. That’s really cool! I thought this was going to be like a one-off. In this case, I can’t wait to see more. It looks really cool already

It looks amazing, I hope to see future iterations look even more cyberpunk!

That's really cool. Would definitely love to see those hit the market in the future.
