You got it. The even stranger part is you "shucked" it forward vs traditionally pulling a slide rearward.

You're correct. It's a subcompact .45 ACP semi auto pistol from the 1970s. It was a cool idea back in its day being a small, but hefty .45 autoloader. It was a delayed blowback .45 where the paddle on the back strap (resembles what most would think is a grip safety) would use grip force to slow the slide down to safe pressures before going back. Due to the design it was not the most pleasant pistol to shoot thus its short time of production and it only had a 5 round magazine. Otherwise it's a pretty cool pistol for its day.A.J.

Sundance Industries point blank in .22lr - it's loosely based off the Hi Standard derringer and constructed of polymer and zamac mostly. Sundance was owned by a nephew of the founder of Raven Arms.
Outdoorsman4880.... Bingo!
( I had an original first-generation High Standard .22 magnum double-action only derringer, and it was great.
I wished they made one in .32 H&R mag or even .30 Carbine.)

On a gun with a D.A.O. trigger that requires more than 10 lbs. of pressure to fire it, I'd be OK if they eliminated the front of the trigger guard. (It doesn't need guarding!)
Like the High Standard derringers.
Or like the "Fitzgerald special" Colt revolvers.
