s'pose someone saw a need for S&W to make them.
wont mention....................riveting: leave that to 007.

It would be effective to take out a single combatant providing the wearer was trained well enough to not telegraph his punch. This would include the dilation of the pupils of his eyes.

I'd dilate @¿@ just putting on the glove. :p I remembered seeing it for the first in the IB movie. Pretty cool but hard to conceal without bulky sleeves or a serving napkin, in this case.

when I saw it, my first thought was the derringer that could be concealed by a sleeve & strapped to the arm. We had toy ones as kids & I think a young Robert Culp played the gambling part in the western & dressed to the 9s: that was a long long time ago.
