Can I even consider this a sidearm anymore?

Neat, that looks very similar to something I just built from ebay spare parts after I picked up what was advertised as a Spyder body and turned out to be a Piranha body. Mine's got a JCS 5.5" barrel on it, and a Winchester hopper (easier to reload, and no need for an elbow as it'll press-fit directly onto the powerfeed quite nicely), and I violated my ebay only rule to get a flush cocking kit. Looks like it might work out nicely for an indoor or close-quarters gun, maybe even speedball.

*edit* By the way, forgot to mention, did you end up using a shim under the bottomline adapter when you mounted it facing reverse? I noticed mine was a little wobbly, but I had a nice piece of 1/16" or so black plastic that worked perfectly to fix the gap.

My usual definition is can it be holstered, is it self contained and can it be shot one handed....

My answers are no, not exactly and yes

And here is the updated photo, the gravity feed was not fast enough for this thing.



Ok so maybe it's no longer a sidearm but it's a lot of fun. Now I gotta make another one for the other hand.

Pop a halo on it, that hopper may not feed quick enough haha!

I like the wooden grips on her too.

Best of luck finding a holster for her.

Seriously cool pistol - why not chuck the hopper and mount a QLoader under the barrel on the RIS rail you've got spare?

Would be chunky, but it would also look B.A.F.
