Not so much to us but to explain it to a customer. I don't recall ever selling one, though we may have. It was really a bit of a complicated approach to a simple concept that might have been better served by two pistols (TDA and DAO), as most companies did. Today I'd thrill to own one of course.

I remember reading an article about him and the pistol in one of the gunzines when it was first introduced.
