Triangular Bullets

[35 Whelen]

Whether used for war, self-defense, or hunting, guns that can stuff more cartridges into less space offer their users an advantage. That’s why Sig Sauer’s “high-capacity micro handgun,” the P365, was such a sensation when it dropped in 2017 and why other gun companies wasted no time mimicking...

I'm okay with this conventional solution utilized in one of my wheelguns:

I'll pass...


No need to go looking for solutions for non-exhistant problems.
