It's a semi-automatic pistol with a mechanism similar to the one found on the Luger, but it's sideways instead of being on top, which uses .357 Magnum ammunition. Chambering a round must be a pain in the ass.

Apr 26, 2020 · And how is a "sideways Luger" NOT novel? One certainly doesn't see them everywhere, or often. Clearly the action is more then a bit "Luger" inspired, but there are features not direct Luger copies, or "just" a Luger turned 90 degrees.
