SHOT SHOW 2011 - Tangfolio single shot pistol Thor/Raptor

[tootall]

I noticed this interesting gun by Tangfolio. In Europe it is called the Raptor, while the same gun for the US market is called the Thor.
It is chambered in some fairly powerful rifle cartridges, including .243 and .308 Winchester.
The expected price in the US is around US$2100. Not sure of the Canadian price, but they did say that Freedom Ventures is a dealer.
Now if we could only handgun hunt with it...

There's one for sale in the EE I think. Don't know what brand though...

Cool but the price kills it for me...that AND that I can't hunt with it

Old idea revisited again. Pachmyr once had the Dominator upper on a 1911 frame.
You should research some of the recoil reports of these handguns in 308 Winchester.
IMHO, it won't be long before this line disappears after dwindling sales.

Imagine one of those in .460 Weatherby Mag... :eek

Likely intended for the silhouette crowd methinks.....

Agreed. The bore is too high over the wrists for rifle calibers.

It would be fun to shoot with cheap 7.62x39 surplus.

didnt Tanfoglio ALREADY had this out?
I remember seeing that last year on their website...

Perhaps it has been out for a while, but it was new to me.
