SHOT SHOW 2011 - Puma

[John Y Cannuck]

Puma '92 large loop 45 Colt

Fit and finish on all the Puma line is acceptable as a working rifle IMO.
They lack the 'polish' of more expensive rifles, but seem to be well constructed, and reasonably finished for the dollars.
These are of course reproductions, and they are not exactly true to the originals.

WoW!
Any other new SASS lever's or handgun's coming to market?

Thanx for the non-tac head's up!

I love that lever shotgun!!!

 

[Tuco Pike]

Puma 87 shotgun 12 gauge 2 3/4"

I was at a match and saw a guy drop two shells in from the top,then close the lever, fire one, reload and fire the second, how does this work?

Probably the Chiappa version with the 'Fast Load' system intended for CAS.

Explain Please?

Explain Please?

the fast fire part , or the fact that all the new puma's are made by chiappa now ?

 

[Canuck44]

Well if you run into any Canadian retailers tell them to bring up some inventory. We can't buy what they don't stock!

Take Care

I agree. It would be nice to get my hands on the shotgun.

You didn't happen to ask if they are bringing back the .454 model 92s did you?

I couldn't, they caught me trying to slide the 45 colt model down my pant leg.

Seriously, there are ten thousand questions I wish I'd asked at a lot of booths, that's one of 'em.

the fast fire part . Is that a repro feature of the old ones or a new feature.

 

[Bittermansbro]

Explain Please?

Just something they did to the internals so that you could drop two shells in one on top of the other and when you close the lever, one would go into the pipe, the other into the tube. a quick two shots.

I have wanted one for a while, just haven't got around to actually getting one.

Haven't spoken to anyone who has one to check on reliability.

The fast load system is new and not original.

I love that shotgun and would buy one in a heartbeat if they are brought in!

This feature must then be "addable" to an older gun, because I know for sure my friends gun is not a Puma or a repro, it is the real deal. Perhaps some American smiths do this mod?

Epps currently has one, listed at around 1100, looked at it, don't care much for case coloring though.
