I just think it is about ergonomics. Safety is way at the back. The mag release is in a weird placement and not conducive for quick release. Trigger seems more crispier than a Tavor. Feels that there is no "mushiness". Just want to know how it would fare when it is is put up into its paces.
What store has the T97 display model?

Except everyone that has handled this rifle say that the ergonomics suck. So that means the only thing it might do well is go bang.
video shows the shooters doing mag changes in less than 2 seconds.
It's going to be fun to shoot. I'm not a soldier and don't need to change mags in 1.5 seconds - my paper targets are not firing at me and I don't use a safety, they can fail - it's a personal preference.
If you are in competition it's probably not the gun for you.

Give it less than a week and one of the first owners will post a thread showing how they modified it to be better.
Mods will occur.
Had chance to handle it at Reliablegun ... mag release is in an ideal location ... (....for left handed shooters) .. safety is set way in the back.
Small and light rifle.... good balance holding the grip. Trigger better than Tavor than Reliablegun had on hand.

Handled it at Reliable too. Seems pretty decent for its price. Look really tiny compare to the Tavor. Better trigger but balance felt a tiny bit front heavy. Also require a rail mount adapter for mounting scopes and since the handle is made of polymer, and the adapter seems to be the slide/snap in type so I wonder how good will it hold zero.
The activation is still a thumb press at pretty much the same location.
The rail sold by CanAm comes with 4 nuts and bolts. Loctite that ish and she'll hold zero no problem.
Saying the tavor also plastic isn't fair at all
It's not same grade plastic. T97 is loose and tavor is much more solid
Also tavor's reciver is one piece T97 isn't
I think $900-1000 still too much for what it is
I may pick up a used one for $800 or less later but not for $900-1000

Which rail are you talking about?? Can't seem to find a T97 specific rail on their site.
I agree, by the looks of it it should be a 6-700$ gun new. It looks pretty low quality. But it will sell for 1000 because it is the only bullpup below 2500$ I will save my pennies for a Tavor, or wait and pick up a used T97 for 700$
