I think I will be getting a revolver instead of an auto. Maybe an 800 series or maybe a Rossi.

The PT809B is on the list of future purchases. I've been coveting one ever since Taurus released the first picture and details. ;D

I can see myself getting the 809. Still wish they'd make one in 357 SIG though.

NYPD, Did she happen to mention anything about pricing? I was very interested in the 909 but purchased a Steyr instead. But this new semi looks like a potential "gotta have" in 45AP assuming the "gotta have" is in proportion to the "gotta pay".NYPD in AZ said:Was told by Maria at Taurus Int'l that the PT800 series will be shipping at the end of April. If so, I'll be getting a PT809 blued and a PT845 with SS slide. Lets' keep our fingers crossed.

My dealer has both on his website right now and he's showing prices for the blued 809 at $425 and $435 for the stainless.rainman said:
He doesn't have them in stock but Taurus has an order number for them and you can expect these to be the ballpark prices.
yeah, i saw them in the nra magazine and figured that it might be a while before i touch one.
i still havent seen a 24/7c in 45 yet, nore the oss, wonder what will show up first, i would sure like to get my hands on that 845.
my wife actually saw it before it did (in the magazine) she pretty much knows when i find one the checkbook will take another hit...... she admitted defeat before even putting up a fight when i find this one.

I hope they're still planning on offering the PT1911s in other chamberings as well as originally stated. I want one in 9mm.Gray_Wolf said:

I think they will offer other calibers. Buds has them listed on this page down at the bottom. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/21_50_495/sort/3a/page/2
Of course they aren't available yet.

I bought both my Taurii from Buds. Prices were better than my area and guns were just as described. I highly reccommend Buds.

I was considering one, but after looking at printed production pictures I think the grip is a bit too long (tall) for my tastes.

Bob Morrison, President of Taurus International, said on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk that all three of the pistols were in production now, and that they would be on the shelves in April.
Touting the ease in which these pistols can be field stripped, Morrison said that the 800 series has “the easiest take down on a modern firearm.”
Earlier reports indicated that the 809 pistols would have a 17+1 capacity, however Morrison stated that the 809 would actually have a 19+1 capacity.
The price on these pistols? Try under $500 retail. That is a great deal in anyone’s estimation.
Hmmm....April. I can see that happening since the OSS finally arrived a week ago.
I'm licking my chops as I type. (And praying this is true)

NYPD in AZ, Don't mean to be a sceptic but did Taurus mention April of which year?? Unless I'm mistaken April of 08 is about over and it doesn't appear, that as of this late date, any of these guns have been shipped to dealers. I'm very interested in the .45ACP model when it becomes available but I don't think I'm willing to wait forever. There are a lot of very nice .45 autos out there. Sometimes I think Taurus passes on less than acturate information just to keep people like me from wondering off and getting a different brand.NYPD in AZ said:
