New gun coming to Canadian market

[patjohnw]

Taurus Makes a new style GENERATION 2 ... 24 / 7

Im hoping to pick one of these up maybe in 9 or 40
You can tell from the coding of the guns that a dealer can order a
10 round mag version or a 17 round version

Oddly when i'm in Buffalo Gun Center in the States they have no idea when these will come in or is at all . The particular salesman was kinda "anti-taurus" I didnt try to beat info out of him ...

They have an interesting mix of features ...
ambi mag release
glock like trigger
decocker which implies a decocker like a P99

a link that make work to the American site

Anyways im beating a drum here ... hoping other express interest so the dealers start importing them ... are others also interested ... !?
DEALERS comments are welcome !!!!

Price would be a major factor.

 

[MikeHammer]

I'd get one for the right price

 

[eg23]

I'm not really a fan of the way they look. I think I'd pass. My opinion is purely aesthetic though and nothing to do with function.

 

[rustysdream]

^ +1 What he said.

 

[Kevin M.]

Lotsa "no" answers, me included. That gun has no appeal to me.

 

[Northman999]

Looks good to me. Price is always the big issue.

 

[misanthropist]

I would tend to side with the salesman...I might be interested if somebody other than Taurus made it.

Unless, I guess, it was whatever Croatian outfit builds the XD for Springfield.

 

[bellero]

The look reminds me of the Ruger P-85

 

[bigboss]

I like it price is the big factor tho.

 

[patjohnw]

Any money says they would be 500 to 550 Range
they would be the same market as sr9 sr40
Im surprised from all the nos ....
looks like a glock xd xdm p99 mix ... all of which are great .. so :/
oddly on the negative side

 

[IM_Lugger]

I would have to play with one first, plus who knows when or if they actually make it.

No thanks.

Looks like a Glock-type takedown, hate it.

I have no use for a thumb safety on a pistol with a Safe-Action type trigger.

 

[Lessonz]

Interesting gun but i'll pass

 

[slicknick]

It'll have to shoot/ feel amazing to compete with the SR9 selling for less than $500.

 

[patjohnw]

Contacted p dent ( good folks over there ) .
Theses creatures are back ordered until Feb

They ( the handgun ) look interesting to me !
I had a XDM in 40 , the problem , or dislike was the grip
Was long as heck to support the ( American mag ) 17 rounds

 

[sonoftweety]

had the original 24/7 in 40 and 45 hated the sights and feel sold them both quickly.if i remember right they sold for about 480 each taxes in.

 

[NAA]

No thanks for me...

Wow, it looks like a Ruger/PX4/Glock/HK hybrid.
