Has anyone seen one of these for sale yet in person?

They are supposed to be shipping them this month.

Thanks

Nope.

Lifetime warranty or not, this is one weak design that you should be wary of. Other versions/manufacturer would not run.

Wait for the reviews.

Haven't seen one yet, but I'm anxious to get one. Basically a copy of Colts ill-fated 'Lightning' design. But, with a pump stroke of about 2 inches, and being "Slam-Fire" capable, it interests me.

Can you say; Cowboy Assault Rifle!!

Here's a short Review

Taurus created a gun that is a letter-perfect duplicate of the Lightning, but, internally is a beefed up M62, probably the most tested and perfected pump gun in existance. My test gun is, as I said, a blue .45 Colt with a 26-inch barrel and a 14-round capacity.

I talked to Taurus USA in Aug and they said they will be shipping in October.

Blued ones first, then stainless in Nov.

Also, the stock on the stainless will be the same as the one they now show on the blued stock. The tigerstripe was a 1 off for marketing purposes when they came out with the prototype.
