Taurus RPC

Taurus is working on a new PCC. It looks good so far from what I see. I'm not a PCC guy, but I wouldn't mind one of these as a truck gun. I wouldn't be surprised if Taurus releases one in 45acp and 10mm too.

Taurus Armas SA is also preparing to launch a revolutionary submachine gun called RPC ( Raging Pistol Carbine ).

As the company previously reported, the RPC will be the most compact and lightest submachine gun in its category, weighing less than 2.5 kg and - in another world first for Taurus - it will have no screws.....

According to renowned Brazilian expert Paulo Bedran and confirmed by company sources, the preparation system adopted is direct delayed recoil, using a roller solution ( roller delayed blowback ).

This is a mechanism similar to that used in the HK MP5. In the German weapon, this ingenious mechanism is responsible for much of its success and, from a technical point of view, sets the MP5 apart from most other submachine guns, which, as a rule, adopt the simple direct blowback system.

The roller system regulates the opening of the chamber and, consequently, the movement of the bolt assembly. This has a positive and significant impact on the perception of recoil, improving the controllability of the assembly.

the roller delayed blowback is not an outdated concept, quite the opposite. Its current lack of popularity is related to cost, given that it requires a device with greater mechanical complexity.

I think it will sell like hotcakes. Will probably settle around $450 retail. 95% or more of American gun owners aren't going to spend $1,500-$2,000+ for a semiauto 9mm PCC to plink with and use as a beater truck gun. This will probably compete with the Keltec Sub2k, S&W FPC, Ruger PCC, PSA AR-PCC, etc. market, and not the collectable, gun snob, expensive, tacticool, or military pedigree market.

Not everyone is out to buy the least expensive firearms on the market. Money is completely relative to a person’s situation and means.

I’ve always been amazed at the lengths the Taurus faithful go to defend the brand on this forum.

Are they as horrible as they used to be? I think not.

Are they near as good as the mainstream players? Absolutely not

Their G2 and G3 have been very popular, haven't had any safety issues or recalls that I know of
Yes, I heard about it years ago, but have since forgotten because it's a non-issue and has never been an issue.
So now you did know about the design flaw but because you didn't deem it worthy, it didn't exist. :rolleyes:

For some reason you seem to be enamored with a gun that is so bad that there is even a web page devoted to fixing issues with the gun.


Good luck with your Taurus.

No, I didn't remember it when I originally posted because it's not a flaw and has never been an issue. It hasn't even been something anyone talks about or has brought up in years. You have an agenda, so you're making it into something it's not.

For some reason you seem to be enamored with a gun that is so bad that there is even a web page devoted to fixing issues with the gun.

This just goes to show how immature, bias, and trolling you are being on the topic. Is the Glock 19 also so bad that there's even a web page devoted to fixing issues with it too?


Glock 19 Problems: Common Issues & Fixes for Your Handgun
  1. Problem No.1 - Glock 19 feeding issue
  2. Problem No.2 - Glock 19 recoil
  3. Problem No.3 - Glock 19 failure to extract
  4. Problem No.4 - Glock 19 slide issue
You misleadingly cherrypicked the Craft page dedicated to alleged Taurus G3 issue while dishonestly ignoring the fact that they have these articles devoted to several guns including Glocks, Sigs, etc... Heck, the issue they listed about the G19 sounds worse than what they said about the Taurus G3! All you're doing is Googling and grasping for straw. Like I said, you have an agenda, you're searching for information to support your preconceived notions, and you aren't being objective or fair. Run to Google and cherrypick something else.

I expect it will be a decent seller, barring any major issues.

Not something I'm interested in though. Not because it's Taurus, I've had very good luck and been impressed with my purchases of their recent offerings.....I'm just not a fan of PCC's in general.
