Not too sure that I'd want to shoot even "bunny fart" loads in it. Recoil on standard hardball loads must be something in such a light weight pistol.
The Liberator Pistol is back!

$599.00 is an awful lot to pay for what is essentially a Government approved zip gun. It almost looks like something you could fabricate yourself.

This is an interesting development for California, in as much as a CA law deems any homebuilt gun that is not a copy of a commercially-sold (and taxed) gun to be an illegal zipgun.
...now home copies of the Liberator can legally be built in CA, with rifling...

My uncle had one off them and back in the late 50s he told me it was a "government .45" and let let me fire it. I was a 13 yr old farm kid and thought it was the kind of gun John Wayne always carried. I didn't look like what I was thinking of but I fired it.
Man 'o man! I'm not really clear on when it left my hand, but I remember my uncle picking it up somewhere behind me and laughing. Anyway, I don't know what happened to it.
I'll add that I think it's a shame that the repo is $600 dollars. I'd buy one for maybe $250 but I don't think too many are going to leave the shelves at the $600 price.

I would not pay that much for a handgun whose primary purpose is display only. If you're gonna spend a lot of cash (i.e. the MSRP) then you'd BETTER be able to fire it!
A replica with modern materials, sights and safety at a cheaper cost that fires .22 would be excellent in a backpack/camping kit.
The Liberator should remind us of one very important thing...just how easy and quick ANYONE with a small amount of material, tools, and know how, can make a completely usable and serviceable firearm.
