(GunReports.com) — Matt Carmel, president of Constitution Arms, said the company has received its first working prototype of the Palm Pistol and that the pistol is undergoing endurance testing.
Carmel said that all critical components Palm Pistol are working as designed. The low bore axis results in no detectable muzzle rise as predicted. Trigger “push” is 9-10 pounds and unloaded weight without the optional Picatinny rail is 13.4 ounces.
Carmel said, “Endurance testing has begun and should be completed this summer. This will be followed by drop testing. Production is estimated to begin late this year or first half of 2011. Specifications are subject to change.”
To date, 458 units have been pre-reserved with paid deposits. Only 1000 units will be built during the first production run and these are expected to sell out quickly. Retail pricing has not yet been established.
