You have a couple of typos on your website... examples:
"This safety mechanism is superior compare to. .."
"Simple design with low part count increase reliability and reduces..."

Agreed. Looks like an interesting firearm but the website needs a bunch of help. Especially since you are competing with a lot of others in a very crowded field.
I saw a couple of things that makes Gill unique but nothing to wow me. You are going to need some videos, A front page that actually does something. If Didn't specifically wonder around to see what the web sit was and instead had stumbled across it somehow. I doubt I would have stayed very long.

If gill arms wants some suggestions or references I have some for you all. Feel free to PM. BTW the drawings look familiar what design program are you working with?

Nice to see another maker out there, but I strongly agree with the other posters, the website is unprofessional and I would not have confidence plunking down $800 on a firearm when the website is not even updated to be current.

That being said I have never tried the firearm so it could very well be very good.

Another Glock clone? For the price, it'd have to be MUCH better than the Glock.

There are four ways to sell handguns in the US.

1. Appeal to history. Make 1911s, Hi-Powers, revolvers, etc. No R&D needed, really.
2. Wide adoption by LE/military. Civilians know that if a handgun has passed through those gauntlets, it's a quality gun. How many full sized Berettas were sold in the U.S. before the M9?
3. Get tons of buzz among the shooting community for being innovative/interesting/well-made. Then keep the train going through competition and a continuous media presence. This is where Hudson and others failed after the initial buzz wore off, but where Walther appears to be doing things right with their line of handguns after coming back from the dead. HK can't seem to do the same, but it's partly price/value related.
4. Be a compact/subcompact 9mm that costs less than $400.

I wish Gill luck but unless they can do #3 in a hurry they won't sell any guns.

Just the $0.02 from a sales and business management guy.

Agreed. And the marketing must not be very good. I lived apparently within 20 miles of the company and never heard of them until now. I've never seen one in any local gun shop. If you want to sell guns you have to get your product to the showrooms to be fondled.

And the website is in dire need of an editor. I read the 2018 notice and saw at least 6 grammar and spelling errors in the first 1/2 of a page. That doesn't reflect badly on the gun and engineers but it does not instill confidence ...

I'd aggressively hire a marketing, copy/edit company for an overhaul and aggressive campaign. Right now gun makers can't keep guns in stock and profits must be enormous.
