Taurus Carbine CT G2

[drache]

Not bad looking! Comes in 9mm, .40, and .45 ACP!

Any future for these in Canada? Just happened to spot them in the Taurus 2011 catalog...

 

[Ohno]

What type of mags does it use?

 

[maliqua]

The mag well just doesn't look right..I think that I would rather a Beretta storm.

x2....but factory made NON-Restricted would be very nice!

I like this ALOT. I want one in 9mm...and i think its kinda cool they added a "grip" to the front of the mag well.

Definitely a gun I'm going to keep an eye on.

 

[dudley2112]

kinda like a fugly bastard child of a Storm and a USC but if the price were right and if it were non restricted i would do it.

With a folder and if it takes pistol mags- sign me up!

I would assume you could mod this pretty easily? Addding a folder, shortening the barrel if you wanted and so on. I am hoping for a non-restricted version.

Yeah if they are at the same price point I agree but i'd be willing to buy one for much less than a storm

 

[J0HN_R1]

This would look much better... Especially if it folded...

 

[ChristopherPhoenix]

I agree with this.

 

[Boomer686]

Depending on the price point I *may* be interested n a little .40 cal carbine

Well according to the guys who were at SHOT the MRSP for these will be just over $800 USD... so what, $3000 CAD?

 

[kickassnikov47]

if made by tarus it will be hella cheaper in cost than the other carbines i have seen!

also i like that hk'esqe styling! and thank god im an american and will be able to get an un-neutered version with mags etc..... lol!!!!

 

[kickassnikov47]

so an msrp of 800 usd will translate into about 600 or so retail lol!!!!

Do you mean $600 USD ?? If it were possible to get it into Canada without additional fees $600 USD would only translate into $475 CAD thanks to the US's current economy

It uses Uzi mags apparently, so they'll be pinned to 5 rounds unfortunately.

I do believe that they're still feeling out the interest in the marketplace, and these carbines are still not in full production (may still have some development time). Perhaps we should send Taurus some polite emails requesting they make these in a known pistol magazine? Or maybe suggest they make a aftermarket magwell kit (like the AR kit for the SL8) that would accept a known brand of pistol mags if the design is finalized?

How easy are Uzi mags to find in Canada anyways? Not being sarcastic, I never really looked for one so seriously don't know.

The mag well just doesn't look right..I think that I would rather a Beretta storm.

By the looks of the website the mag well is that wide because it also houses the mag release. If this means extra life out of the mag release and protection from breakage it's a necessary ugly in my opinion. It also gives you a vertical grip, leaving you room on the bottom rail for more stuff, cool option.
