cooper_999 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hey guys, got interesting news from IWA show in Nuremberg (unfortunately, I wasn´t there, info is "second hand") - the info fits to Randy´s Taurus news from shot show.... Taurus comes out with a new Revolver series called "Taurus pro shooter series" for sport shooters. First models will be a 7-rounds 9mm Revo with unportet 6" barrel, black target front sight on a Tracker basis and a 6-rounds 10mm Auto/40S&W Revo with also unportet 6" barrel with black target front sight on the M44 large frame basis. things get going......

spook Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Great news! I can't wait to get more info. Already the 7 round 9mm and the 6 round 10mm sound like a great setup for both Steel and IPSC. I'm particularly curious about the type of moonclips the 10mm uses. If it uses S&W 610 clips, it would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robopup Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 It would be nice if they made the 9mm an 8 shot based off the 608. (without ports) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 No 45 to recycle all the 625 moons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brit. Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I've got a Taurus model 456 in .45acp. The standard thickness moonclips that shooters use in their Smith & Wessons etc are too thick for my Taurus. We have to use custom made ones which are 18'thou thinner. I am thinking about having my cylinder machined so I can use the more popular ones. ( the custom made moon clips cost me $7.50 each!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 perhaps out of beer cans? That would have to be called the "Conquistador Series." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lee Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Robo, According to the CEO of Taurus USA, it'll take a couple of months for the plant to make the platform revo and get it to me. Then I need to chamber the gun and see what is most likely to fail under competition conditions. I would figure on a year if all goes well.

For the cause of course. oh yes, I agreed also already to do the testing for the german gun magazine - but the editor told me, that they will do the tests by themself when they get the new Revos...

Nemo Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Randy, What's Taurus plan for the .45 competition revo? Five or 6 inch barrel? It would be most convenient if I just have to get it out of the box and have it work on my 5" 625 rig with my 625 moons... Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lee Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Nemo, I'm waiting to hear back from Taurus on the new 9mm. The .45 I'm going to recommend for competition is the 6" version for IPSC/USPSA. Rumor has it Dan Wesson may be getting into the game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
