Any word on Taurus Instant Backup in 9mm?

[SapperLeader]

Has anyone heard any new info on the Taurus IB line in 9mm? It was released last shot show and I thought it came out this fall but I havent seen or heard anything. Ive been interested in a 9mm moonclip revolver for a while and one built on a I frame sounds intriguing for some of the smaller pants pockets.

Friend asked for one to evaluate when he was at the shot show. Still no gun. Have any showed up in the gun rags?

Besides the grip, what is the difference in this gun and the regular 905?

The important difference is that the cylinder and frame have been shortened to match the 9mm cartridge (as well as some others). Other snubbies have cylinders designed for either the .38 Special or .357 Magnum.

The barrel's also shortened a tad, too (more like a S&W J frame at 1.75"). I don't think Taurus makes a concealed hammer IB model, though, which kind of spoils the intent of the shorter gun for deep concealment.

Dang you folks!

I keep convincing myself I don't need any more guns and you just keep yapping about new guns that I'm sure I need.
I'm no fan of the 9mm, but I'm totally into a smaller frame revolver. Can't wait for this one to come around.
