The XR9-S uses a claw to raise a round from the magazine and chamber it at the rearmost part of the slide. Boberg’s got the coolest design I’ve seen so far. People are going nuts for concealed carry guns with state after state adopting Florida-style shall-issue laws and a lot of manufacturers have found the market to be… profitable. So in homage to these guns that have gone onto the big gun locker in the sky, I give you five of the greatest shooters from the pantheon of never-meant-for-mass-production firearms. And an untold number of guns, despite their ingenuity, outside-the-box thinking, or relative uniqueness of purpose, get caste unceremoniously, by hook or by crook, into the dustbin of gun history. Others get shoved down our throats every couple of years whether we like it or not like the Desert Eagle (and also a little like communion wafers). Some of these guns have gone on to galvanize the industry like the Colt 1911, a true miracle of measure and harmony, which has had such a homogenizing influence on handguns you’ll usually find more flavor in a communion wafer than in a spin-off of this soon to be centenarian.
It goes without saying for us gun folk that some of the most inspired feats of engineering the human race has ever witnessed have been our answers to killing things-though the world may be in dire need of food, water and medicine, it’s almost a certainty it will never be short on guns.
