Taurus's new revolvers

[WonderNine]

I wonder if this one is gonna require moonclips to shoot. Moonclips are nice, but I don't want them being a REQUIREMENT like with the (unfortunately hammerless only) S&W 940 9mm's. I hope the Ti's are like the Ruger SP-101's in that you can use moonclips, but it will still fire without them.

And get rid of the porting Taurus!!!

just went to the Taurus site to check out the 9mm stainless snubby.

it said: grooves 0, as in zero. gives a twist rate, just no grooves. this must be a misprint. no rifling? a smoothbore?
maybe i'm just not reading correctly.

i have a little 8l7 stainless snubby seven shot ultralight with porting. it has rifling, however shallow. have just popped the cyl and looked down the bore with a light to verify this.

hope they expand this line of 9mm to include a 4" with no porting. whatta plinker. and, can plink cheap 9's for what i can reload .38's.

That would be great, but I won't hold my breath.

I'm sure it has rifling.

Anybody know when the 9mm revolvers are due?

 

[WonderNine]

The website claims "Summer 03".

45 COLT GUESS

Maybe because they were just inertia bullet pullers?

I think I'm gonna give Taurus a call as soon as I remember too and ask them about the availability of non-ported titanium and 4" titanium 9mm's.

I'd be all over a 3" barrel 9mm 6 shot un-ported revolver.
