Any idea when the micro will be available?

Arnie,
I am impressed that you are an engineer. As you know, the determination
of the first product specs is quite a riddle. It is a combination of what
you can do, at a cost allowing profit based on what customers are
willing to pay and what the competition is now and may be doing
in the future.
You have zeroed in on the
benefit of your new action which is both more power and smaller package
in 9mm. But the competition could add an ounce or two of metal to handle
the +P pressure stresses and offset your power advantage only if your
gun is limited to standard power level ammo.
If your product performs well and your reputation develops positively,
investors will seek you out and want to be a part of a successful growth
enterprise. If you stumble, well it wont be pretty. That is why I say
make it tough and reliable.... If there are design constraints against
building an unbreakable tank, then make it easily repairable with wear
components that are designed to be replaced economically.
I'm for ya buddy,
BTW, I did some freeze frame activity on your function animation
and got 8 different photos that I can sequence through at the
speed that I want. your animation happens so fast, I cannot follow
it real well. If you can put a super slow motion switch on it, that
would be great. I know you said powerpoint was available, but my
freeze frame snapshots were easier.
It really is an awesome design, a hundred years from now
folks will look back at the original design of all the futuristic
pistols yet to be made and you will be like this century;s John
Browning. - Attachments:

You know, Scott - all those "frozen images" are in the Powerpoint file - and each is in high def. The only way to slow it down in video mode would be to load the .mpg into Moviemaker and "stack" more of the same images in the timeline to expand the number of seconds of play. I think Microsoft did the world a disservice when the new Media Players could no longer allow you to click through a video frame-by-frame (at least I haven't found a way to do it in anything newer than Media Player 10.0)
Just so you know, the XR9-S is rated for +P ammo. Aside from switching to a larger caliber, the XR9 will always have the power advantage for a given size gun.

It's hard to keep an objective perspective on a product when you're so personally and deeply involved with it on a 24/7 basis. Arrange to have focus groups, both gun owners and prospective gun owners, evaluate different models...might be an eye opening experience. Also, money spent on professional marketing consultants should pay dividends. Know who your customers are and what they want! I, for one, plan to by shorty when it comes out, but I would rather have a micro for front pocket carry. Ease of draw is as important as concealment and weight to me.
