tactical imports needs to get some fake cans for there NR barrels! I'd buy one. I could just see it now.......I'm out gopher hunting and the RC's drive by....
We can! No problem! Just give our gunsmith (Herron Arms) a call and he can have one done up easily. We had a BRS-99 fake can on display at the TO Sportsman Show. They do really add to the looks thats for sure.

The newer models are optimized for use with a red dot/reflex sight mounted on the rail. The irons are more of a secondary. On the older models the use of a red dot with the downward telescoping stock resulted in too high of a cheek weld. The older downward telescoping stocks only had one position; the newer ones have 4 positions.
That being said if you extend the newer style telescoping stock to the 2nd or 3rd position out it makes it much easier to get down onto the lower based iron sights.
Any plans to bring in the railed foreend model?
Railed foreend will be coming in on next shipment
Got mine last week. At first, I thought that the long barrel would look awful and ridiculous... but it really doesn't. Believe it or not, it actually gives a very nice balance to the entire rig. It essentially balances right at the grip when you're holding it, with a tiny amount of pull towards the barrel (good to prevent muzzle climb, I guess). The gun itself is quite massive and has some good weight to it, definitely more on a "rifle" side than a pistol (which is something that I like). The overall quality of this thing is quite amazing too... everything is nicely finished, tight, thick and feels like a tank could drive over it and it would still work without issues.
The only bit of confusion you might get is with the safety... the red "Z" letter means "Safe", whereas the white "P" letter means "Fire". Moreover, I have trouble putting the safety on when the gun is dry cocked, plus you can't pull the bolt back whenever the safety is engaged (weird system). But the safety is so out of the way that you'll hardly ever have to deal with it, unless you really want to. Personally, I never load & #### my firearms unless I'm ready to shoot, so a safety is really a non-issue. Like with any firearm, the safety-conscious operator is the best safety you can have.
Overall, this thing might've been a tad on the expensive side, but well worth it in the end (any second thoughts or buyers remorse were cleared when I received the package and examined the gun, lol). Being a 9mm, it feeds on cheap ammo too, which is always a big plus (as opposed to .380 or .32 ACP which are much harder to find and therefore more expensive, for example). And the long barrel/NR status is just pure awesomeness, since you can actually enjoy it on crown land or even hunt with it! Just imagine how many other hunters would be impressed and/or confused by such a "badass" hunting rig... even a TAR-21 is not as exotic-looking!
Thanks Tactical Imports, you guys rock!

Too bad about the 22LR thing... I was so excited
I thought it was a great idea too, until I got the gun. It's a lot bulkier and massive than what it seems in the pictures, so a .22LR conversion would feel awkward to say the least. Shooting 9mm out of it will be okay, but .22LR may not even cycle the bolt unless heavily modified parts are fabricated by Radom (which would probably be so prohibitively expensive that no one would buy it in the end, hence why they're not interested in it to begin with).
Spring tension is quite stiff in this rig and a tiny .22LR would definitely not have enough juice to push it all the way back and cycle the bolt carrier, plus the bolt & carrier are quite large themselves and have a lot of bulk to them (just the carrier under the dust cover is about an inch wide and quite long... and made of steel). Actually, it dwarfs the action of a Glock 17 despite that they're both 9mm's (surely because the BRS is made to withstand higher stresses generated by a FA milspec setup, which of course requires a stronger action). In essence, it's not exactly a 10/22 setup we've got there, lol... and it makes 9mm handguns feel like toys. You'd have to see it in order to understand that it's not a good idea to go .22LR with this.
Besides, 9mm is cheap and readily available everywhere... it's the .22LR of centerfire cartridges.
