I think both of them just fell off the map because of the gimmick factor.

Even the 7.5 FK BRNO pistol disappeared after people realized they weren't getting their money's worth.

>>643841

The Maxim 9? It's still available on silencerco's website, so I assume they're still selling it.

>>643841

>>643844

Isn't the Maxim 9 not only cheaper, but actually more innovative than the powerpoint gun?

On top of looking miles better than shitson H9

>>643843

7.5FK BRNO pistol disappeared because it cost 7.5K$, that's not "even", that's a fortune for the cost of a heavy gun with the size of almost an AK pistol.

>>643846

With the hype behind it, the gun flopped so hard it fell through the floor. You would have thought it would get flaunted around like a new-age Deagle at the very least but no.

The trigger is shit, the grips are bad, the sights are awkward, and there's no steady source of ammunition - not to mention it's a snowflake caliber. Apparently just enough people bought it for a new version to be imported, however.

>>643848

That's more than they deserve for designing maximum incompatibility in their products.

>>643841

LGS wage slave here, we sold 2 or 3 of the maxims and 1 hudson in 2018. Still have 1 hudson on the shelf, people keep asking "what is that thing?"

>>643873

Something about it being a striker fired wondernine for people that like 1911's, "muh low bore angle", and the fact that the recoil spring is in line with the trigger guard. One of those was stupid, one of those is overrated, and whilst I'd still like to see how it'd look with an osprey can, it's not really that sexy.

>>643884

So literally every new striker fired handgun post 2010. And these upstart noobs wanted to sweep the market with something that is just plain ugly?

>>643865

In some cases yes, but most have just never heard of it. No one wants it though haha

>>643884

>low bore angle

It's called bore axis, and it does make a difference. Granted, if you want a low bore angle just get a Steyr A1

>>643890

I don't blame them. Shit's ugly, a gimmick and a bad one at that, and way too fucking overpriced. At least the Maxim 9 has the gimmick of being suppressed.

>company can't survive on selling nothing but $3000 9mm 1911s that barely function.

Whoah.

>>643921

Where does it eject empty casings?

>>643922

Down your enemies shirt

>>643923

It fires the whole bullet?

>>643924

>We fire the whole bullet! That's 65% more bullet per bullet!

>>643934

have you seen ian's wife? she's actually 17 years old, she's just experiencing accelerated aging due to his miasma.

>>643862

As someone who frequents a small mom & pop store twice a week because its on the way home and they always have something rare or bizarre in for Christ sake they have had 5 calicos including a pre-ban .22 with a serial number in the double digits in just the past year alone There was exactly one hudson 9 that showed up and it sold the same day it arrived. I looked at it and thought it was kinda odd. Guess it could have sold fast from hype but it could have also been the same reason the zip .22 that showed up didn't last long before getting snapped up ether.

>>643841

This one is one of the pistols I really want to buy, despite a good chance that if I will ever break it, I will have shit chance of actually repairing it, especially if baffles break. It looks like a pistol from a videogame, but the look is functional, and its dimensions are not that big for a suppressed pistol.

>>643948

>Guess it could have sold fast from hype but it could have also been the same reason the zip .22 that showed up didn't last long

Yeah you're right, the one we did sell sold pretty darn quickly. The one we still have technically sold as well, someone had it on layaway, but as he never came to pay it off we put it back out and now here it sits.

>>644291

>Think it has an ejection port on the right side

Indeed it does

It looked so alien I didn't think of something as simple.

>>644291

>No low bore axis

Wasn't this a big selling point? Why not just get a 9mm 1911 or a glock at this point.

>>644467

That's easy, just ask an American company to make an authentic 1:1 copy of any weapon, and it will look like a shitty bootleg from MGSVTPP.

I genuinely like the look of the H9.

>>644492

Brilliant, how do i get InterracialTV to shill for those?

>>644492

How will they look like bootlegs if they don't actually exist after four years of development?

>>643848

>>643846

>>643843

7.5 FK is a boutique niche pistol sold for the exact amount of money it cost to make it.

It's dubious they made more than a couple hundred and they at the very least made their money back, the "company" (workshop) isn't gonna be bankrupted any time soon.

Hudson made the classic "we're gonna make a cool pistol and make millions while aggressively pricing them in an impossibly crowded market ".

Guess what it NEVER WORKS.

The only company that succeeded at that was GLOCK because they actually brought something new to the table.

>>644484

They couldn't lower the bore axis in any meaningful way without disturbing their "muh striker-fired 9x19 1911" design, so the lowered recoil spring acts as a placebo making shooters feel like it recoils less than a plain 1911.

>>644563

Glock succeeded because marketing prevented Gaston from putting a low price tag on an incredibly inexpensive production. You can't lose money on something that costs almost nothing to make.

>Franklin Armory employee tries to tell Ian and Karl to talk to the guy in charge before an interview

>Karl yells at FA employees

>gets both of them kicked out of their booth for making a scene

>Karl rushes to make a video saying it was all Franklin Armory's fault while pouting on camera

>Ian goes back later to apologize for what Karl did

Is there anything Karl wont do to make himself look like an asshole?

>>644665

>"satanists" are mostly manchildren

Wow, what a surprise! But the fact that cuck ian is still standing on karl's side is hilarious. This is so cringeworthy. Grown ass men being a bunch of menstrual teenage girls.

Only in muttmerica, land of the (((free))).

>>644686

Watching them at trade shows is the worst. Grilling employees who are there to show off the company's inventory on engineering questions. I remember when Karl went to the Mossberg (I think) booth and kept asking the lady why the Shockwave only had a bead sight.

>It's meant for indoor use at close range

>But why doesn't it have any sights?

>It's meant to be used at such close range that sights (cut off)

>But why didn't you put sights on it? Just a tiny bead sight?

>goes on and on until Karl stomps off like an autist

>(employee internally seething) It's meant for when someone is right on top of you and you need a shotgun you mouthbreathing fuck

>>644665

>Karl wont do to make himself look like an asshole?

Well he's an asshole, so most of the time he has to disguise himself as a likable guy which he can pull off when he's alone and facing a camera but in nearly all his video when he's with someone he's gonna be a douchebag at some point.

You can't change a bird feathers…

>>644698

>480p video in 2018

Well… Why?

>>644694

When do they all get together and ban him and his boyfriend from SHOT Show?

>>644694

I think these nusoy cuckolds are starting to get that e celeb mentality, which actually doesn't apply to the gun industry at all.

They probably actually think because they have Interracial TV and FW, they are the hottest shit in the firearms world.

Truly autistic.

>>644703

Probably never. Their numale reddit audience is too large.

>>644795

nusoys from leddit don't actually buy guns though. Didn't we learn that with MAC and his pissrael tour? Or the Shitson H9 too.

>>644792

>They probably actually think because they have Interracial TV and FW, they are the hottest shit in the firearms world.

Karl definitely has it in his head that, since he derailed Ian's work on ForgottenWeapons, he's the new hot shit and does not want to share the spotlight.

Ian's only a dick to fans, he's still anxious when it comes to talking with people on video.
