During a routine inventory the design team at Hekler'Kok once again poured over their catalog and found that a niche was left unfilled, a magnum caliber pistol that could stop just about anything it came up against. With this gap in the lineup pointed out they began work on designing something to fill it.
As usual their first step was choosing the basic design that the pistol would follow. While the seemingly obvious first choice was to simply upsize one of their existing model pistols and chambering it for a magnum cartridge. They found however that there were significant structural flaws as well as extraction issues with this idea. In order to solve this issue they went old school and went with a eight-shot revolver design.
They next began working on deciding which cartridge that the pistol would be chambered in. They had a few magnum cartridges in their line up and they experimented with all of them before deciding on the 10.9x33mm cartridge as it was a good balance between stopping power and recoil.
With the design and cartridge chosen they began on choosing the materials to make the weapon. They used their trademark Titanium-Alusteel alloy for the frame, cylinder, grip and barrel, though it was made more dense this time around to handle the higher pressures. The grip panels were made out of Rubber to provide comfortability to the shooter. The barrel was plated in Chromium to reduce wear and tear and the entire pistol was coated in CeramiCoat to prevent external damage.
With the pistol all but built the final step in the process came, choosing what features would be integrated into it. As with all Hekler'Kok weapons a set of ambidextrous controls were added, a safety and cylinder release in this case. An automatic ejector make emptying and reloading the revolver much easier as it automatically ejects any fired cartridges.
A double action system allows the revolver to be fired either by simply pulling the trigger or by cocking the hammer and then pulling the trigger. A textured hammer allows for easier cocking of it when needed be. Textured grips and finger grooves allows for a more firm hold of the revolver while firing. Night sights make it easier to aim and fire in low light conditions. A underbarrel accessory rail allows for the mounting of lights and lasers. Lastly the design team created a speedloader that can be utilized with pistol to avoid having to load rounds one at a time.
