Taurus OSS

[Holleta]

Anyone handled one? It's on the cover of my NRA mag. It was Taurus's entry into the US mils SOCOM sidearm competition. Seems nice and big (just the way I like 'um) and SA/DA/

Tom, has it even been released? Taurus like many companies announce new models, but availability is another story. I know that it took forever for Taurus to roll out the PT1911, so I'd say it's safe to say that the OSS will take a while before it hits the stores.

Sy, Dunno....that's why I'm asking. They are listed on the Taurus website though that doesn't really mean anything. I really like the looks, specs and the fact of an SA trigger on it though.

I have one of those and it says glock on the side?

I dont care to much for Taurus's guns mainly because they always knock off other guns

as for all the trials. I dont believe the taurus OSS would have beat out the HK .45, M&P 45 or the sig combat that was submitted.

I think that's why I'm drawn to it Jay. I love my Glocks except the trigger (even with 3.5lb connectors) and I love the triggers on all my 1911s. A "Glock" with a SA trigger??? To good to be true to me!!!!

I also want one of these OSS models in 45. I called Taurus yesterday and the CS rep said they most likely will be available in the Fall of 07. Which probably means spring of 08.

i agree, they hype the 1911 for a long time. then when they did release it they had limited amounts at first. probably to keep demand high.

I handled one of the Taurus 24/7 guns at my local shop (the gun the OSS is largely based on). I wasn't that impressed. It was SA/DA but the SA was nowhere near a 1911 SA, I mean not even close. Hopefully the OSS has improved upon this otherwise I will continue to be a happy Glock consumer.

I thought you might like to know that Tautus 24/7 OSS .45 seems to be back on the market. I bought one at a gun show in Jacksonville, Fl on April 12. I will go to the woods and try it out on Sat. Will probably make a 45 Super out of it. It is suppose to have an 18# spring but it is a lot stiffer than my G20
