Royal Armories just uploaded a video about one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-llVl1ofUU
I say "one of these" because we can pretty conclusively say there are at least two in existence. The first pic here looks identical to the gun in the video but the second pic is definitely a different example, with a number of detail differences (grips, safety, hammer) and more importantly a different serial number. Jonathan doesn't know much more about it than we do (maybe less, considering he doesn't even know what to call it, while the first pic here at least establishes the "BDA-9C" name) but he's confident it's a factory piece and not a custom, and the better-quality look at it in the video makes me agree.

That's way less grip than I've ever seen on a BDA-9C. This must be a custom piece, or factory experiment. That grip just seems WAY too short to be actually useful lol

I mean, it’s clearly a compromise for concealment. You’ve got the small mag to give you a few shots instantly when shit hits the fan. Then you reload a regular mag and use that as the grip. It’s not a terrible idea in theory…

I see it as too much of a compromise, especially with a 9mm. That's a one finger grip, I'd rather have 2 and half minimum. Extra inch would do and not be as much as a compromise.

That's what she said!

I mean we would all like a extra inch but we have to work with what we got

Like so many other things in my life, I can look at this and honestly say,”well… that was a shit idea!”
