Single shot?
38?
Looks like something just begging to go off in a pocket.
None for me , thanks.

New Palm Pistol
Would anybody actually buy this?
What is the Palm Pistol®?
The Palm Pistol® is an ergonomically innovative single shot defensive firearm chambered in .38 special that may be fired using either hand without regard to orientation of the stock. Suited for home defense, concealed carry or as a backup gun. It is also ideal for seniors, disabled or others who may have limited strength or manual dexterity. Using the thumb instead of the index finger for firing, it significantly reduces muzzle drift, one of the principle causes of inaccurate targeting. Point and shoot couldn't be easier.
Pre-Production Sales
We plan a limited initial production run with a projected retail cost of $300. Sales are restricted to US citizens and resident aliens as permitted by law. All transfers must be made through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL).
Key Features
■Uses thumb instead of index finger to fire
■Optional Picatinny rail for accessorizing
■Designed for LaserLyte Subcompact V2 laser sight
■Loaded chamber indicator
■Cocked striker indicator
■Easy breech access and loading
■Dual independently operable grip safeties
■Discreet concealment
■ATF classified as standard "pistol"

Too bad it would have looked badass with a bayo and flash suppressor.
Here is a pre-ban palm pistol from 1893- with matching numbers
Interestingly, this is not really a neww idea as evidenced by the below:

Dental tool gun ??? I love it !!!ten ring said:
MAPLEWOOD, NJ - Endurance testing of the Palm Pistol prototype was completed in August, 2010.
The procedure consisted of firing 10,000 standard rounds and 100 proof loads. Every 500 rounds, the gun was completely disassembled and subjected to wet fluorescent magnetic particle inspection (MPI) by an ASTM certified non-destructive testing laboratory.
The five structurally critical components (barrel, latch, receiver, barrel pivot pin and latch pivot pin) all withstood the test and passed with "no indications found." Findings concluded the design was robust and structurally safe. The next task is the drop test. There were some functional/ergonomic issues that surfaced which will be addressed in the production model.
We have started the process of obtaining production quotes from the various manufacturing specialties such as investment casting, wire EDM, plastics injection molding, stamping, etc.
We do not yet have an estimate on production start date or retail cost.
