An original project, the CBR-9 employs several original solutions and several patents, according to Chiappa. One interesting new feature is the proprietary magazine design.
“Another nifty feature is the magazine. Proprietary usually rubs us wrong. However, what they’re doing is they’re feeding the round off the side of the magazine. So all the spring pressure driving that magazine up, for those of us who have had experience with battery issues on the first or second round, this alleviates all of that spring pressure by feeding it from the side.”
