Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Saw it at the NRA show today. Looks great and cycles very smoothly. MSRP is north of $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me, but all their literature on the rifle and the rep said they, as in Taylor's, is making the rifle. https://www.taylorsfirearms.com/tc73-rifle-18-9mm-tuned.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I guess they're relying on both the weight of the rifle and the lack of recoil of the 9mm cartridge. Because the thought of 16 of these Stacked in a line, with that full metal jacket pointy end sitting on the primer of the one in front of it, is scary as hell.

DeaconKC Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Yup, definitely want a flat point on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 And lots of folks sell 9mm rnfp, to include bullet makers like Missouri Bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I believe you are missing the point. Yes, you can find flat pointed lead bullets to hand load your 9mms with, so there will be no danger of your magazine tube exploding. But if they chamber the gun for 9 mm, it is supposed to be safe with any factory ammunition. Including 115 grain pointed nose full metal jacket. Because you know and I know that somebody is going to stuff that tube full of 115 grain full metal jacket pointed nose factory ammunition. It will happen. So, as I said, they are undoubtedly relying on the weight of the gun and the minimal recoil of the cartridge to prevent a magazine kaboom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Every pistol caliber rifle with a tube magazine has the same potential problem, yet I don't hear of very min any idiots blowing themselves up. Don't think it will be worse with a 9mm rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, they do not have an 07 manufacturers FFL. They can’t manufacture firearms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I think the words “New Arrival” and “Taylor Tuned” pretty much tell me they didn’t make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 9mm is cheaper and easier to get than 45 or 44 or 38 but I wouldn’t hunt with it so it’d be for when you want to plink cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I cast almost every bullet that I shoot, price for ammo is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassnetguy50 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 From a review: The barrel is rollmarked with "Winchester, Va.," where the guns are built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I’m guessing the parts are all made here by different companies and assembled by Taylor’s. Hence 100% American made. I really wonder why they didn’t introduce it in .45 Colt or .357. 9mm really??? No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I have grown to love the 9mm round. I’ll bet with a 124 or 147 grain XTP bullet loaded to +P velocities one could have a slick little short range (100 yards) hunting gun for animals up to deer sized game including zombie’s and chainsaw wielding carnivores.
