thefirearmblog.com gives us the heads-up on an Elvis scepter-length flashlight gun. We’re not talking about some woosy .22 caliber derringer deal. This bad boy shoots a .410 shotshell. Yes. One. Maybe someone could shine a light on a simple question: under what circumstances would the CSG Maglite Flashlight Gun be a good idea? The caps lock product description [text and pic of the “trigger” after the jump] calls the $895 Flashlight Gun a “last chance” back-up defensive weapon. So you pull the grenade style safety pin, slide the button across, cock and release. Then the director calls “CUT!” and you move on to the next scene . . .
