Multiple casing lenghts in same gun....?

Just a little question...It seems that your new feeding concept/design might be able to handle multiple casing lenghts...9x18/9x21/9x23 in the same gun would that be possible?
Greetings!

yes yes, please take care of that 85% remaining, so we may bask in the 3D renderings...

I have gotten through a good portion of the core of the design, but I will say more about that on the .45 Gap thread.

.45 gap??? isn't that almost dead. I have to say CZ 82 and 83 's are some of the best pocket pistols until you released your little badass gun so I would also say you would get good response from the 7.62 x 25 I personally know a few who use that round as their EDC and the .380 is becoming more popular. .45 gap is going to be like the .41 mag in a few years. I know 7.62 x 25 isn't the most talked about round but it is still widely used as a carry round and for an odd caliber it is still widely avilable and cheap , .45 gap I personally don't know anyone who owns one or that has to have one might as well make a 10mm version if you are going down the rounds that didn't quite stick list.

Since we are already a niche' market company, the .45 GAP wouldn't seem out of place. What Glock should have done in the first place is create a super-small gun around this cartridge.

I do a lot of work with the Tokarev and while it is cheap and powerful, I would not run the surplus in a modern pistol. OAL is 1.358" which means the grip is going to be larger. Surplus cases are all over the map. Even reloading manuals can't agree on case length. Lee lists it at .988" and I've measured them down to .964". When I build one there are a lot of tweaks done to make them go Bang. Not to mention most cheap surplus is corrosive. I'll run the surplus through my M57 all day, but my new favorites are the 9x23 & 357 sig for the power hungry. IMHO

OK - if the case length varies by that much, our mechanism may not work. However, we do have another way of doing it (which is in the patent), and that is to use the bottleneck shoulder as a reference. Is that feature reapeatable?

Love the .357SIG. I shoot it whenever I can afford.

Have hunted with it.

Yep the Sig is way cool, so is 9x23 for power. The Tok shoulder on surplus stuff can vary .010" between mfg with .003" - .006" being common. I reload to shoot, only buy factory for testing.
