Day One is Media Day.

Sorry everyone but there isn't anything from Taurus shown on Day One. However, there is a pic of an XD with a manual safety, looks quite a bit like a Taurus safety (based on the 1 pic).

Day 2 is posted, yes this is Day 1 of the actual show.

As I scan the pics I spot a couple of things of interest.
The Charter Target 44 Special should appeal to the 44 Special fans (yes, I know it isn't a Taurus but its something to increase interest in the caliber).
The Ruger 380 appears to be an actual, functional carry gun from Ruger (yes, I know that many of their guns can be carried but this one is sized nice).

It figures, I take a nap and a shower and they post the next days pics!

The 709 appears to be a modified Mil Pro. I'm hoping that its thinner that the current versions. Then again, I'm guessing.

My question is what is a 5mm Magnum? Its now available in a Tracker

Since the GB posted another Ruger 380 pic I'm thinking that they like it and will be doing a review in the future. I still think I want one.
