That looks as small as a Mini if it weren't for the snatch, does anyone have pics of the two side-by-side?

I think it would look a lot better without the snatch grip personally.

I think it would be cooler if it had a single trigger frame and a left feed.
Silly space gun.

this gun is lighter than the mini, but it is longer.

some people (like me) find the mini to be too "short" and feel almost "cramped"
when holding one. this gun is a little more spread out for a more comfortable feel.

the gun is nearly the exact same size as the threshold was. the reg is slightly
further out to allow for more space, but the rest of the dimensions are the
same. they just cut a chunk off the back of the dump chamber because it was
not needed with the shorter bolt.

thought i'd test it out:



btw, someone got one of these on a scale. with barrel/asa/etc it was 1.86lbs

See that looks good. I'd take it even further and get rid of the bump on the back. Just continue the back of the grip frame straight to where it meets the back of the bolt.

i think that would be pretty terrible for actual in-game use. you need a lil' something there
for when you're shooting one handed and reloading. even the PS i did above would be
cutting it close. i think DP went the safe route leaving the snatch that long. if you really
want to remove it, it wouldn't be hard

...although cutting as much as you mentioned wouldn't allow for the frame screw to hold.
a cut very similar to what is shown above would be possible

TBH, it looks sorta like a short Ion. It has a distinct sexiness.
