Seems to me I saw in Guns and Ammo about 1980 or so a review of a .25 BUG made by - I think - Seecamp. The design was very unusual in that it amounted to a magazine-fed ---- well, SAO doesn't quite ----- ANYWAY. It was supposed to be handled with a two-hand grip and was activated thusly: Your two thumbs would be used to push the slide FORWARD to load the round and cock the piece, then the slide would blow back to eject the spent round, whereupon you would push the slide forward again to load/cock it. I may be wrong about the mfg., possibly it was Bauer but I am almost certain it was Seecamp.
In any case I remember it was an incredibly dopey design, second only IMO to that horrible Japanese pistol with the exposed sear that you could commit accidental hari-kiri with. The lone advantage I could see was that a bad guy would probably not be able to figure it out if he snatched it, but ifit was a BUG then the BG already had one that worked, probably.
The design was so damned STUPID that I wonder if it isn't just a figment of undigested pizza that infested one of my dreams way back when. I know this much: Before I got her well-enough broken in, "JJ" my Walther PPK/s used to behave approximately like that.
Anybody remember that gun? Or am I going soft in the head?
