Lever Release Pistol, and yes it will be available in 45ACP!

#1 Post by Blackstuff »

If you're thinking of getting a lever release rifle you might want to hold off for the time being. Just announced on the UKPSA forum that this year Tanfoglio is going to be releasing ( :grin: ) a series of lever release PISTOLS, confirmed in 9mm and 45ACP (possibly 40S&W but why would you want to).

One (or more) will be on display at the UKPSA/MidwayUK stall at Phoenix

RRP is rumoured to be an eye-watering £1600! But then they will be custom pistols based on already expensive handguns. I'm not impressed that i've just bought a house.... :roll: :lol:

But on the flip side.. I'm all for the development of any and all firearms which give us pistol-like experience...

I think it looks a damn sight better than the Taurus lbr I couldn't get on with.
It will be interesting to see how they tackle the issue of not being able to easily convert it back to sec5.
I do have to say I would prefer this over the sgc rifle.
Any idea who is going to import them?
I would be interested in a 40 cal.

Sorry, not for me, it is a neutered offering for the UK market and leaves me cold. We used to shoot pistol, the law changed, we can no longer shoot pistol. Time to move on is my view.
