Full Conceal has a booth at the SHOT Show NEXT Pavilion, a section intended to showcase brands never before seen at SHOT. Their product is an ultra-concealable modification for full and mid-sized pistols which cuts down the frame to a sub-compact size, roughly equivalent in size to a modern cell phone. The models on display at their booth were based around Glock series pistols, and Polymer80’s 80% Glock frame.
M1
The M1 model cuts down the pistol’s frame to a sub-compact size, either a G17 or G19 with a magazine capable of holding 7+1 9mm rounds. A magazine holder capable of holding a 15-round 9mm magazine is integrated into the frame and is mounted via the accessory rail, giving a wielder a potential 23 rounds of 9mm carry ammo.
M2
The M2 model is a bit more customized when compared to the M1 model. Rather than have a 7-round magazine loaded into the gun, and a full-size backup mag, it utilizes a full-size magazine with a rail-mounted baseplate that stores into the pistol grip/magwell via a cutout on the grip. The trigger is spring loaded and folds upward into the frame when the magazine is stowed. As you can see below, this configuration does remove the trigger guard.
Full Conceal is currently taking pre-orders for either model, which can be viewed at the link below.

I understand the thought behind the M2 but the concept seems rife with problems. Firstly, how do you carry this? It doesn’t seem like a kydex holster would work as it would likely retain the mag as you pulled the frame out. Then there is the issue of a spring loaded trigger. No idea how this actually functions mechanically but it seems like it could mess with trigger reset. Last and most important, where is the trigger guard? You’re going to carry this and attempt to load a mag in a high stress situation without a guard protecting the trigger? Not smart.
It’s a cool thought, but it’s built for a very specific and limited purpose. It’s a deep concealment/pocket carry option that seeks to provide all the benefits of a full size duty weapon. For 99.9% of us the m2 seems to create an unrealistically complicated process required to go from stowed to firing, and the m1’s features are difficult to justify vs an off-the-shelf g26. If they can find a better solution than an unprotected foldout trigger, and a “quick draw” technique with “some assembly required” the M1 might actually provide something new and advantageous, but in the meantime it will only be useful for people like Jason borne who need a good dop kit gun, or maybe it’ll just save him the extra $50 required for the medium size safety deposit box typically needed for a handgun.

Thanks Michael S., I just shot coffee out of my nose.
Lol, no prob
An answer to a problem that doesn’t exist
I’m at a loss as to what this does that a regular pocket pistol doesn’t.
Besides making it easier to shoot yourself in the foot, of course.
Does your company want to file bankruptcy? Seriously this is how you file bankruptcy.
maybe if you scrubs had an actual need for deep conceal handguns on HTHR missions where being discovered could mean death or worse, being disavowed you’d realize how amazing this design is.
Ok Operator I’ll go with the joke, if being discovered with a firearm is too dangerous Id rather carry a compact sheath knife. The other alternative is a 5 shot snubbie revolver, yes real operators do carry them, and they can be concealed even easie than that farce of a pistol…
You’re gonna end up made real quick when this contraption nd’s into your crotch..
Is this a Smart Gun or a Dumb one…
wtf is going on here?! Now choke yourself
I new when this had gathered 10 comments that it would be an awesome day-starter read…
I see some out of the box thinking. Just because it doesn’t make sense to some of you doesn’t make it stupid. I guess lightweight ARs are stupid because real men aren’t afraid to carry a few extra pounds right?? Come on guys think beyond your own foxholes…
Just because no one has done it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
That trigger design isnt just bad its insane. Thats not inovation its lack of understanding basic safety
Exactly, it’s a bad idea. And sometimes it hasn’t been done yet because it’s a bad idea and not because it’s a great idea nobody thought of it. This falls into the catagory that pretty much everyone thinks it’s bad.
I can’t believe someone put together the money and actually committed to attending Shot Show with this product. Did no one on their path to the show tell them how stupid this was? Kudos to SSD for covering this with a straight face.
We’re all dumber for having seen it.
Ok I’m not going to bite. This is clearly a joke on us, And if we respond, we fell for it< That is the only explanation I could possibly have for this products existence. Like someone just said, how could they have possibly gone this far without someone saying something, I mean it's misguided on so many levels it's insane.
A flawed concept from its very inception. And really it's not that outside the box, they just built on the idea of a full size glock chop. Then they added a magazine to the rail(in a horribly clunky way) as if that will make up for the lack of firepower in a real incident. And then threw all safety procedures out the window. Eg: how do you grab that reload without flagging yourself, then mix that with the fact that you have no trigger guard and a poor firing grip.
This product will provide the person that just shot you in the face a good laugh.
I don’t think you can shoot it with the mag loaded on the rail.
