Freedom Arms Single Shot Pistol

I thought that I would start a topic just for this in case anyone missed it on the other topic.

I must say I was pretty surprised when I saw it.

Surprisingly, the TC Contender looks nicer...... bet the TC is less costly as well!

Elements of the design are much like the RPM.

It is still in prototype form; its appearance will change some by the final design, but I don't expect it will change much.  I was able to really wring it out last week.

I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised when I shot it ... it was not what I expected at all, was very comfortable even with a heavy 375 Winchester load.  It opens easily, closes easily, has a good trigger, balances pretty well, and nothing on the gun bit me in recoil.  It is, I reckon, sort of a hybrid of the RPM and other designs, but brings together what I consider positive aspects of each and adds some proprietary features that send it over the top.

I'm still in awe of the 1,000 yard shooting that we did with it with the 6.5 JDJ barrel.

I will volunteer to run it thru several IHMSA matches and report on how I do.  I will work up sight settings before the match and put it thru the rigors of an actual IHMSA Silhouette match.  Send me the .22 barrel and the 6.5 JDJ barrel and I will get it sighted in out to 200 meters.  Oh, I will need to borrow 6.5 JDJ dies as I don't have any.  Suggested load?

Where do I send my address?  Can you get it coming to me right away?
