Description:

Made between 1962 and 1970, the gyro jet pistol was intended to replace the standard powder filled cartridges with a super high velocity "rocket" type cartridge. In place of a traditional cartridge, it instead fires a self contained spin stabilized solid fuel rocket, removing the need for a strong breech or rifled barrel. Fed by an internal fixed magazine, the hammer, mounted in front of the grip, drives the rocket back onto a fixed firing pin, and is reset as the round shoots forward. A sliding action cover takes the place of a traditional slide, and is ported to direct the escaping gas to the sides, away from the shooter. The grips are molded into the gun, with a checkered pattern. Included with the pistol are six original rounds of ammunition, which are even more rare then the pistols themselves.

Rating Definition:

Good, with some light scuffing and handling marks overall. A crack runs down the left side of the frame from the loading port to the butt. Mechanically good.
