!!!!Taurus .45ACP Snub-nose Revolver!!!!

ED CHAVEZ · March 30, 2001, 03:11 PM

I just heard of a rumor that Taurus will bring-out a snubby .45ACP revolver. It will be a 5-shot revolver loaded with moonclips. Has anyone else heard this? Later-on.

revolvergeek · March 30, 2001, 04:31 PM

Did not hear anything about that at the SHOT show, but it would make sense for them to do. They have the .45 colt gun to use as a platform. I bet they would sell a TON of them. I sure as hell would want one (stainless with the bobbed hammer).

They did show some cool S&W 640 copies there in .38 and .357 that I am praying they will bring into production.

Revolvergeek, do you like your snub-nose revolvers ported or non-ported? Especially in a .45ACP.

RickB · March 30, 2001, 06:59 PM

Makes a lot more sense than .44 Special, especially if they shorten the frame and cylinder to suit.

"Makes a lot more sense than .44 Special ..."

How come ...?

dewey · March 30, 2001, 11:26 PM

...but only handloaded. 240/250grn at 950 is a top performer for me....dewey

ED CHAVEZ · April 9, 2001, 01:21 PM

I like .44Special also. But no gun person can refuse to pass a .45ACP revolver.

guerilla1138 · April 9, 2001, 01:48 PM

I sure hope they are brining one out in .45acp.
I have been wanting a totall titanium snub nose in .45 acp since I first saw one in .357.
It owuld be a smart moce on their part, or so it would seem, because I bet a lot of people would buy them.

If they arent going to, they should, and if they are, good for them! I'll take at least one

Robert the41MagFan · April 9, 2001, 02:15 PM

No Taurus 45 acp revolvers at Shot Show, but they did have the S&W 940 knockoffs.

Poodleshooter · April 9, 2001, 02:36 PM

A 4" factory ported.45 auto Taurus set up to use moon clips would rule for SSR in IDPA. Probably cheaper than the Smith 625,too.

9mmepiphany · April 9, 2001, 03:20 PM

i think i'd like 2 please!

a stainless 4" for IDPA and a titanium 2.5-3" for carry

41magfan - a real 940 clone? i heard about the .38 640 clone but not the 9mm...gaad, another one to add to the list

Cowgunner · April 9, 2001, 03:31 PM

i want one too!

Robert the41MagFan · April 9, 2001, 04:46 PM

Oops! My mistake. No 9mm revolver, .38 Special only. The model at Shot Show was a 342 knockoff (It's fuzzy! Between squeezing the Para Ordinance air operated LDA and watching the Springfield girls next door, the little pea shooters weren't on my mind.

), not a 940 model. Taurus is calling theirs a 850 model. Too many numbers to remember.

If they are gonna do it I wish they would hurry! I wrote them last week asking them about one. We'll see.

stjesel45acp · July 24, 2011, 12:45 PM

The moon clips that came with this Taurus .45 ACP revolver do not properly fit over the ( what's the proper terminology for this piece ? ) sprocket. I have been advised to send it back to Taurus. Anyone else have moon clip problems since this thread started in 1999 ?

9mm · July 24, 2011, 05:18 PM

10 year old thread.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I thought these things where imposible to find.

When I clicked to view I thought Taurus had came out with a new version of it lol.

taurusarmed.net can help you out.

Coastal · July 24, 2011, 05:25 PM

And you thought that people didn't use the "search" feature.

EdInk · July 24, 2011, 07:03 PM

Ya' know sometimes I would dare say that is better to start a new thread. Also, I have heard good things about that new "google" website.

ipscchef · July 25, 2011, 01:17 PM

Ten years old??!!

I was actualy much better looking when this thread started!

Maybe this one should be put back in the ground and made to stay there!!LOL

Looks like ten years ago this site didn't bash every Taurus thread that came up.

My thoughts exactly!!! I guess in 10 years there's a lot more people with a lot more opinions of a lot more guns THAT THEY DON'T OWN !!!

Boberama · July 27, 2011, 12:22 PM

I hate it when I'm about to unwittingly respond to a comment posted over 10 years ago.

Good idea. Shame about it being a Taurus.

Not to worry, S&W or Ruger will see Taurus making mad bank on that, and do a proper one.
