But I saw something at the SHOT Show in Dallas that would shape the future of concealed carry in a huge way. With the passage of the Brady Law and the Crime Bill looming (signed into law on September 13, 1994), the show was busy with dealers trying to get guns before they’d be outlawed. Sales for the moment were brisk, but no one knew what the future held. For the next 10 years or forever, as far as we knew, magazines would be limited to 10 rounds. My gloomy outlook brightened for a moment when I found a single booth in the basement of the Dallas Convention Center. 18 PERSONAL DEFENSE WORLD • 2019 personaldefenseworld.com personaldefenseworld.com 2019 • PERSONAL DEFENSE WORLD 19 GUN TEST The 25th Anniversary K9 features special slide engraving and Hogue aluminum grips with custom set recoil lug on the bottom of the bar- checkering. rel.

Dater Antares Technologies, Inc Nature of Sound • Air in motion • Pressure variation the human ear can detect • Pressures measured in Pascals* • Threshold of human hearing: 20 µPascals (0 dB) • Sound is a form of overpressure *NOTE: 1 PSI = 6895 Pascal Decibels (Db) • Pressures in Pascals are unwieldy numbers • Decibels are a ratio of pressures (named after Alexander Graham Bell) dB = 10(log10(P1/P0)) where P0 is the reference pressure (20 µPa) and P1 is the measured pressure Example: doubling (or halving) of the pressure is a 3 dB change, changing the pressure by a factor of 10 is a 10 dB change or a factor of 100 a 20 dB change If 1 PSI = 6895 Pascal. How many PSI overpressure is a 170 dB gunshot? Firearm Sound Sources Firearm sound generated by 1. Sudden release of hot, high pressure propelling gases in bore, and 2.

  • Design Sketch
    CONSTITUTION ARMS™ 12 Hoffman Street Maplewood, NJ 07040-1114 (973) 378-8011 www.constitutionarms.com Specification An ergonomically novel self-defense firearm intended for seniors, disabled and others with limited manual dexterity or hand strength. ATF classified as standard pistol, not “Any Other Weapon” (AOW) under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Page 1 Rev. 3/28/16 Palm Pistol ® Patents US7905042, D628259 Specification Introduction The Palm Pistol® is an ergonomically novel self-defensive firearm that uses the thumb for striker/firing pin release instead of the index finger. It is both ambidextrous and bilaterally symmetrical about its longitudinal axis rendering it functionally independent of the users hand dominance or bilateral orientation. It has no iron sights thus rendering eye dominance and sight alignment immaterial. The Palm Pistol® has 10 safety features, including three independent safeties that must be activated by the shooter using three different fingers before the pistol can be fired. Therefore, the action of the Palm Pistol® is not comparable to other single action handguns. Design Considerations One of the two principal factors of inaccurate fire is lateral muzzle drift induced during trigger squeeze.1 Use of the thumb for releasing the firing pin mitigates this problem. Also, the slim profile presents the ability to readily conceal the firearm without imprinting. There are no external moving parts which permit it to be fired from within a pocket or other clothing without the possibility of jamming on fabric. The design incorporates a latch safety, striker block, disengaged sear stop, cocked striker indicator, loaded chamber indicator, hand guard and grip assist ramp.
