Do you know if it takes Glock magazines? I would love to have one of these and be able to use my Glock mags, which is why I was looking at the Kel Tec Sub-2000. I do like the looks of the Taurus much better but I like the folding feature of the Sub-2000. Not to mention the Taurus looks like it is better quality.

Is there a price point on this as of yet? This looks like a great gun. I am going to have to hit the range and see how it shoots. I really want a Sig 556 but that is a bit harsh on the pocket.

right now it looks like the going price on pre-orders is $609....
if you wait that might come down a lot ... if sales lag

I know it would be a lot to hope for but if this thing hit a $400 point I am sure they would start to sell a lot.

This thing looks very similar to the Beretta CX series carbine which I am not a huge fan of. If I know Taurus it is probably closely modeled after it which is a negative for me. I have shot and had issues with the Beretta versions jamming.

I'm curious to see how it's accuracy compares to the shorter and very accurate Cx4.

I don't know, 8 - 9 lb's sounds a little too heavy for a carbine like this.

Hope it could sell a lot.

I wonder if it will actually make it to market in 2012. It was in the 2011 new product catalog as well. A few shops even started taking orders and then stopped. I will believe it is coming when it gets here. Taurus has a bad habit of promising new products and then not following through.

unless it's cheaper than the High points (:-)) I don't see the point? The 223 AR is capable of using a 127 gr subsonic load, which hits about like a subsonic 9mm, and with good softpoints, full power 223's have 2-3 times the power and 3-4 times the effective range of the 9mm carbines, so about the only real use they have is for those who can't have a pistol and who can't afford an AR. If the 9mm carbine costs almost as much as an AR, it's a big ripoff. High Point has shown that 9mm carbines can be sold at a profit for $200, so why do any of them cost more?
