SHOT SHOW 2011 - Taurus CT G2 carbine

This firearms is not yet in production. According to the Taurus rep, it is on display to gadge for market interest. It will only go into production if there are enough orders, and production will take somewhere between 8-12 months.

The firearms itself has ambidextrous controls. Charging handle can be swapped to either side. The sights are removable, the production sights will probably be redesigned with some sort of QD mechanism (right now is screwed on). Projected MSRP is a little over 800 USD.

Well if a Taurus rep is reading this or someone is down at SHOT can they please suggest these are built to accept common pistol mags?? Perhaps a Canadian distributor can get on the phone and show interest, and while doing so suggest they're built to accept pistol mags?

What's the deal with the magwell? It almost looks like a .223 well that's been adapted for pistol rounds.

When bringing guests to the range I've noticed the most common place to put their offhand is on the mag. This seems to take that into account and have a built in place for your hand. ;)

See, you totally should have invested in that VFG ;)

I understand the front of the well, but it looks like there's a 'web' of material that extends from the rear to the trigger guard. It might be for aesthetic or durability purposes related to the magazine's placement, but it really looks like it wants a .223 mag in there. ;)

Yes, I should have got a VFG. Next time, next time.

I get what you're saying now. From the new pics it seems that it's to protect the magazine release. I see how it looks like it can hold a .223 mag from the side though.

Why is that? The sub2K takes 10rnd's.. Is it because it uses uzi mags? I thought pistol's were limited to ten rounds?

Uzi mags are specifically mentioned in the magazine regulations as being limited to 5 rounds.

Looks great, well thought out and ergonomic. If we could get them here non-res for around $1000, I'd definitely consider adding one to my safe. It'll go great next to my Sub 2000. :D
