Kuna Competition? Meet the Taurus RPC 9mm PDW

[Talyn]

Taurus on Tuesday announced its first entry into the dedicated PDW space, the fully ambidextrous 9mm RPC.

Billed as being built to NATO standards– keep in mind that the company competes for and wins military and police contracts all over the world– the new RPC is lightweight via alloy construction and runs from curved 32-round magazines.

And did we mention that it has a roller delayed operating system, which offers a flatter recoil impulse?

Not a fan of the look on their housemade magazine.

I’m intrigued by this and the fact that it comes with multiple locking pieces. If this was made in Turkey @KillerFord1977 would already have two!

I have been looking at this......may have to get one.......

They showed me the ad at the gun shop while ago. price is about same as a Kuna or comparable other guns. mags look crappy and has a plastic lower. i'll pass.

I’ll stick with my Kuna. Just based on the Rossi 92 Triple Black I picked up last week (made by Taurus - first Taurus I’ve ever owned), it doesn’t seem like this would be a wise investment (FOR ME). The Rossi shoots fine, fit and finish not so fine.

Plus I like the moniker of Kuna much better than RPC (Rear Picatinny Carabiner?). Don’t think I’ll miss the 2 extra rounds per magazine much either .

Hi,

It looks good, nice features. Tempting, but I'd like a little longer barrel. Perhaps 8.5" or so.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Yea, using plastic (aka polymers) in firearms will never catch on.

 

[Tangof1!]

I've had good luck with Taurus guns until the TH 45. Three guns and not one would fire reliably. The KUNA works,

A $1000 plus Taurus? Thanks, no.

Of course my opinion could change if the price comes down by $350 or so and someone starts making FRTs for them. They did manage to persuade me to by a TX22 using the FRT trick.
