My understanding with the Boberg is it's basically a bullpup style pistol, where the barrel is behind the magazine. It's an interesting concept but I'd be worried about burning/blowing off my fingers shooting two-handed.

You don't have to worry. Pistols generally don't go kaboom! in as spectacular fashion as rifles do. The rounds simply don't have as much pressure.



Of course there are Elmer Keiths out there who will manage to blow up whatever with their experimental loads, but that is not your everyday situation.

Boberg is a well-built steel gun that will survive a squib no problem. You may have to replace the barrel though.

The biggest problem with Boberg is that most ammo is not designed to be jerked backwards, as it is with this design. Some have reported of rounds disassembling during loading cycle, leaving bullets and powder in the mag well. Messy. I think Boberg now recommends ammo on their website that will not do that.

I was referring to my hands/fingers sticking out past the muzzle when firing, not a catastrophic failure.
