This is ridiculous. A gold paperweight could be identically described.

It reminds me of the "I Am Rich" app store app.

 

Oh, it’s totally ridiculous. That’s why it appeals to me.

 

I'd have to see it up close. No doubt it's amazing. But the optic really ruins the lines.

 

I agree

Comes with the rear sight. Mine will never see an optic.

 

That design with the huge chunk of metal up front is to compensate for such a high bore axis which will lead to more muzzle rise. Cool looking pistol though. Dude likes his rare earth magnets.

 

It’s more of a mid bore. CZ 75 clone

 

I get what a CZ 75 is but that looks like the barrel rides higher than a CZ. Maybe the barrel design and how it looks.

 

True

I’ll have to wait until I have my hands on it

 

A new 9mm???!!!!! Just need Taran Butler to do a Schwarzenegger imitation while he talks about his TTI Viper in comparison to this. Ze Viper con blow up ze chopper. Vas con dis sparkly child toy do?

 

I can see why bac likes it. It's unique, well built, and innovative. Definitely NOT designed for the masses and not made of plastic. For what it is, 50 pieces for the U.S. is probably ambitious unless bac has a few relatives hanging around
I hope when he gets his that he gives us a range report along with his "usual" fantastic photos and write-up.

 

Certainly the pics

Whether or not I fire it remains to be seen. I’ll have to think on it. Chances are, they may do a more basic model in years to come for less money.

 

There are definitely higher bore axis pistols out there, but it looks like a CZ75 is on the upper end of the middle. It is closer to the highest bore axis on this list than it is to a Glock 17. .31 higher than a Glock but .23 lower than a P226. Thought this was an interesting chart for comparison.

Very interesting chart. Never seen that before. 😎

 

Neat idea with magnets and the trigger.

 

Does it pass the drop test, and does it fire on it's own? Seriously, not fond of it at all. Too much metal up front.

 

Well, they aren’t meant for the masses. That said, the company will sell every unit they build.

 

Kinda reminds me of a blinged out Hi point.

 

Reminds me of the Maxim 9.

 

I like seeing these pistols I know little to nothing about and will probably never see in person. Thanks for sharing.

 

Bro-dozer level tacky...if we're talking aesthetics...which I imagine is the sole selling point of this firearm.

 

It’s the firearm equivalent of being ‘trans’. Just… no.

I think we get it after the first time.

 

I wouldn’t buy it, even if I was a billionaire.

 

That’s a big load off my mind

 

Introduced at IWA 2024, I’ve been tracking its progress. One just got to the ATF and the importer is anticipating approval sometime this year, according to the email I received today.

The Elysien is a luxury pistol in every sense of the word. It’s not built for competition, target shooting, or any other singular purpose. It’s simply built to satisfy those with a taste for rare and exotic, high quality handguns.

Coming into the states is a variant specifically built for the US market, called the Eagle Limited Edition. I’ve been on the waiting list, as only 50 pistols will be imported (at least for now). I will upload a picture later, but it’s similar to the silver model in the videos, with some additional graphics. At 10,000 euros, price is way high, but it’s certainly a very cool piece. Between euro to dollar exchange rates and once import fees and tariffs are factored in, it could top $12K, I’m thinking.

I’m obviously looking forward to getting my hands on one.

Has anyone heard of it before now?



Edited to add picture of Eagle Edition:

Sorry, Bac, but as a former art student and a fan of more traditional proportions in mechanical design, that gun is beyond ugly. it's downright wierd looking. It's as though whoever designed it was on a high dosage LSD trip.

I may be overstating my case here, but this funny looking gun has inspired me to express myself creatively.

 

Kinda looks like the alien from that Sigourney Weaver movie.

 

I don't have a strong feeling either way on the aesthetics of the pistol, but it is certainly technically interesting

 

I don’t think it’s beautiful by any means. It’s just cool and different. I buy every luxury pistol, so this is my routine.

 

Lots of interesting comments…

The great thing for the naysayers is that you’ll never see one

 

GOOD

I’m looking forward to reading your review Brian. Definitely an interesting design with some innovative features. There’s likely no other source for an honest review of this super rare pistol.

 

You got it, Mike. I’ll do my best to give my honest thoughts, whether I shoot it or not.

 

This does not appeal to me at all..... i hope whomever buys this likes it as much as I hate it

 

It's not for me, but I'm kinda hoping it becomes a big thing and @bac1023 has the last laugh.

 

Thank you sir. I usually do

 

I actually dont mind that one ..leave off the optic though that ruins it.

 

I hear you

I don’t put optics on anything.

 

Hard decision, and I will pass because I know the difference between desire and need

 

I do too, but don’t care. I haven’t “needed” a firearm in 30 years.

As with most hobbies, they aren’t a necessity. That’s why they’re hobbies.

 

I can always count on bac to bring something to the table that I've never even heard of!
