I'm looking forward to the pics and video, that is just too cool. I'd rather get something like this for an existing pistol than buy a pistol caliber carbine, though I would really have no reason to get it. It looks like it would be fun to shoot though, and I bet recoil and muzzle flip would be next to nothing.

Is that lever on the left side used to rack the slide? Does it come with a longer barrel for the pistol? Is this coming to the USA?

This pic would seem to answer the questions:

Without a 16 inch barrel, wouldn't this make a pistol into an SBR?
I was wondering the same thing. I wouldn't buy one anyway, as I see no practical use for it considering the options I have on hand.

The only product of theirs that I will probably end up with, eventually, is the FSC:Hera GmbH Splash Page. I've got to buy a HK USC first, but it's on my list. I shot one at a range a couple of years ago and it was so much fun! It's on the expensive side for a toy, which is why I don't have it yet. I opted for a Ruger PC4 to start with. Anxiously awaiting it's arrival. :)

Wouldn't it be extremely difficult to line up the barrel up perfectly with "extended" barrel in this setup??

Could it just be some sort of "barrel shroud" that is a good bit bigger than the bullet, but extends past the front of the attachment??

I am sure I should probably look on the site and that will tell me. Hahah

"All NFA rules apply"

I'd assume that the RONI would make a pistol into an SBR as well? If that's the case, then I probably won't get either. I like the looks and the attaching and detaching of the pistol on the TRIARII better, but the RONI looks to have a shorter length of pull, which would probably be better for me.

How much do these things cost by the way?

Agreed. Without a definitive answer on the NFA stuff, I wouldn't even consider it. Besides which, I just don't see the point...I'm not likely to be looking to shoot my pistol out to 100+yds. If I'm going to carry either of these systems, I can just as easily carry a rifle.

I don't know about the Triarii, but I found the Roni at €420, which comes out to just over $605. Too much, considering what it is, at least for me.

I am a bit underwhelmed, it seems like a novelty item to me more than something with a practical use. I would like to know if any agency has actually adopted one of these systems, it seems to me that it would be highly preferable to have a serious carbine and sidearm in the field rather than one of these.

Also, what advantages in training would one of these bring?

may as well chalk this one up with the bumpfire stock thingy for AR's that costs an arm and a leg.

if i wanna bumpfire i'll hold the rifle to my side and do it.

i highly doubt ANY agency has or will adopt this system.

First of all, this thing IS an SBR. Prepare to fork over your $200 tax stamp. One other thing you may or may not know, if you are taking this thing from State to State, YOU MUST HAVE A LETTER OF PERMISSION FROM THE BATFE TO TRANSPORT IT ACROSS STATE LINES!!

I urge anyone interested in anything that would turn a pistol into anything but a pistol to get a copy of the ITAR rules & take a look for yourself.

Pistol rounds are no cheaper than 556 ammo for training. ALL pistol cartridges calibers SMGs (yep, the MP5s are gone) have been eliminated form the FBIs inventory. BGs have gotten up after being shot with pistol caliber weapons. They DO NOT get up after being shot with frangible ammo from an SBR AR 15 weapon.

Sourse, my FBI CT SA neighbor. They took his MP5 & gave him a 10" AR!

I just thought it was cool. :D

Not $400 cool, but still. If this thing costs as much as another pistol, and I would have to go through extra paperwork just to own the thing, it is not for me. With $400, I could buy 8 factory PPQ mags, about 13 MR mags, or I could just convert a rifle I currently own.

As far as agencies adopting this, I never really paid attention to what agencies adopted. I'm on the Walther forum after all. :D

I don't know about anyone else, but I think that thing is pretty doggone cool and would be a fun range toy. If it boiled down to one of these or a, say, P22 or PK380, it would be an easy call. No question it won't be for everybody, though.

Thanks for sharing this, Harald.
