Any discernible difference in kick over a regular top chamber fired pistol?

I saw something on the revolver several years ago, but I think it was only a prototype at that time. I am glad they started producing them, because it looks like a cool concept. I don't supposed the gentleman mentioned what he paid for it did he?

There was a recent review of these guns in American Rifleman. I have to say that I am intrigued. I'd enjoy a chance to shoot one. There's no getting around the ugly. They fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. But, ugly is as ugly does, and if they work real well, I can get past the looks.

How did the trigger feel?

From the muzzle end photo it looks like the barrel screws in/out?
So, could you buy the snub and a longer barrel to screw in for serious work?

Thanks for the review. I love interesting ides like this...maybe someone will come out with a prettier version.

So does their snubby version just have a shorter barrel? Did it look to you like this would be a feasible gun for pocket carry? Seems pretty bulky for that type of use.
