Taurus PT38S .38 Super - Anyone seen one in person?

Interesting...I wonder if it will shoot 9X23?

Looks like it might be a double stack higher capacity beast as well..

The pimp look is popular these days...

Haven't seen one in person yet, although I am pretty sure they are single stacked.

 

[hifi]

Yea, it does look singlestackish now that you mention it. Was hoping for a double stack.

Everyone knows that Taurus sucks I got to play with a 24/7, and if this gun is anywhere near as nice as it, it is worth the price plus some. Not to mention the bling bling. What what what.....Yeah!!!

 

[hifi]

Yea, I don't own any bling bling guns. The seller on Gunbroker has the usual ridiculous price though.. yea... I'm gonna pay $15 under MSRP + shipping FOR A NEW CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION GUN ON THE INTERNET...helloooooo....

I'm sure he's got the "rare vibe" going like they all do. That and the 'there's a sucker born every minute thing'.

You guys are all so technical!!!!!!!!!
What you are looking at is the PT945 with a rail and caliber change. Thats it.
It IS a single stack, has the greatest safety in the world...decocks/cond 1 etc.
Nice gun....not a bullseye gun buy any means but plenty accurate for CCW.
As far as 9x23.....if a std 38 Super will do it, so will this..................
Shoot well.

I would love to own one, but of course, living in California I am not mature enough to be trusted to do so. If I were a free man, I would remove the "mother of toilet seat" grips and install a set of the factory black plastic grips. The gold accents would still be a bit bling-ish, but a bit less sissy-ish!

I have one and it shoots fine. 2 inch groups at 50 feet. However I would really like to get some "real" grips and loose this slick pimp grip. A good checked grip would improve overall performance. By the way, Taurus makes slides and recvrs for Springfield Armory.

I have one, got it for $359 NIB, the standard blued version. My neighbor has the pimp version.

Not much info on them around. DA .38super autos aren't exactly common either.

Mine is very reliable but has issues with not locking slide back. My neighbors doesn't like Armscor ammo.

Had one, great shooter and fit and finish, but with how spendy 38 super ammo is, I sorta preferred only one gun in this calibre, that being my Colt, so I traded the Taurus off.
