I think it's an interesting idea, but in it's current form it needs a lot of work. It took the guy far too long to deploy and acquire a sight picture for me to feel like it would be useful in the kinds of situations I'd want a firearm.
For something like this, I'd want it to be spring operated (or similar) so that it could fold out faster. It looked like it was mostly gravity operated in the video (hard to tell, though).
I guess it really depends on if you're trying to find alternative ways of concealing your existing pistol, or if you're trying to make a non-pistol shaped device fire bullets. Each has different design limitations.
