hi this is Joel Persinger I'm the gun guy thank you very much for watching my
channel I'm very very grateful I'm still here at 2018 shot show and one booth I
was not going to miss is the tourist booth as you know I carried tourist
model 85 all the time and it really liked their guns
so Dustin has been kind enough spend some time with me they've got some very
very cool stuff one of them is that we'll get to that in just a minute but
anyway what else what else have you got new for tour - thanks for coming by so
what we're at now is our new product location as you see we have a lot of
stuff going on here stuff everywhere yeah so is everything here new
everything here is new so you know we have a lot of different hangouts up here
a lot of variant of one and then we got some new revolvers here if we're gonna
talk about we got some new polymer handguns 1911 and even some long guns
stuff going on but we'll move around a little bit absolutely so here we're
talking a guide my heart the Sholto all right yes know you told me how much you
liked your 85 so I get a lot let's start with this guy right here which is the
tours 856 it's basically your 85 with the addition of with Shiksha now another
slice it doesn't seem to be any bigger it is not larger at all so what we've
done is we've made a little bit more clearance for a larger cylinder to fit
that extra round in but now you can walk around and carry a little more power on
one more yeah whatever shot can oftentimes be the difference between
tragedy and none absolutely especially if there's people so many people around
the country carrying them yes you know carrying is very important you know the
tourist model you can look around and you know we have a lot of different
models whether it be a semi-auto whether it be a you know a revolver to suit
anyone's need but you know we we tend to focus on the carry concealed market a
lot it tends to be one of the strongest parts of the our industry and you know
it's very important very very just with all steel this is all steel model right
here so it's a yes please what that's lighter than that feels
lighter than my my 85 it actually is so it's when outs lighter than your 85
you're getting ik you know in a capacity increase of one more round so I love the
group yes and a good point so our grip is a very nice ergonomic contoured you
watch it back you see him going like this he thinks I'm Lee Yeah right there
I can't no you know I you know it's it's a very good gun you know here at Taurus
we've done a lot to to work on the fit and finish of our revolvers you know
earlier we were looking at together needn't mention the tightness of it when
you look at the cylinder lock up really you almost can't see light through the
cylinder gallery so we've done a lot of here at Taurus to to finish off the fit
and finish to get you know the side plate you know flush with the frame here
and really ergonomic s' you know just making it nice to carry well you know
one of the criticisms that I hear about the older Taurus revolvers from you know
20 years ago or whatever it is is the fact that they don't you know when
they're cocked they don't lock up and run tight there's a little bit of
there's a little too much you give there but this one is just tightest I could be
and as you said you know I start looking at the gap between the end of the
forcing cone in the front of the shoulder I mean they're really it's you
know you couldn't get a you couldn't you could you might get a dollar bill in
there the age of a dollar bill but she certainly wouldn't get a get a business
card in there exactly yeah it's right so a lot of what we're doing now is
adjusting the gun in the assembly level rather than per part so you know we're
it really is much better you know and even interchangeable you know it's tough
so not only are the nice and tight but they're also interchangeable very cool
absolutely so we're also going to what we have here is very unique you know and
new for us and we're very excited about this but we have the the tourist track
it's this is our trucker series but the 692 so this is a very unique gun go
ahead and open it here so what we have here weight push to four solar cell
truck this is a seven shot we have a non millimeter yolk assembly with the
cylinder now with the push of this button here we can actually pull all of
this credit of nine it was a nine okay wait wait wait wait
hold up well you have energiehal this boy yeah
that's an on millimeter cylinder with the little Clips right yep so what we do
is we'll ship to moon clips with a gun we call them stellar clips to me moon
clips with a gun so that you can have extraction of the nine millimeter and
then here here we have a 357 Magnum oh my goodness and that's all show do four
six seven same round count seven shot the a 357 Magnum interchangeable
shooting chillin yes and so what you have here you give a push to the button
here and we slip this back in and what we've given the user is the ability to
swatch swapped calibers with the same gun so if you want to go 357
nine-millimeter yeah all in one gun that is extreme versatility and then I want
you to fill this grip okay I like to yeah what how does it how does it do
that so what we've done is we've got like little yeah we collect user we're
calling our River grip but it's it's it's ribbed and what it does is when you
hit rabbit it moves it forms to your hands so you know a lot of that material
will conform to how you you know the size of your hand you probably have a
little bit larger hand than I do so we wouldn't know but it's like a glove it
does conform well so it helps you you know if your target shooting it helps
you hold that and become more confident with the gun now that's one is very
impressive I mean the grip is the guns impressive a general but the grip is
shit it's a bit of a Marvel that's amazing we can't we tend to keep the
weight down on these guns so that's not that's not as heavy I've got a I've got
a 357 Magnum a lot more now that's not that's not bad I mean it's
you know it's it's it's a it's a magnet epistle it's gonna it's got a little
weight to it but it's not it's not heavy at all and I like the porting because
that's really going to control the magnums and keep the the barrel on
target it does well that's extremely cool which model is that again this is
the this mixture I have a right here the 692 yes 692 interchangeable cylinders
357 Magnum or nine-millimeter 350 seven thirty eight or nine through this guy
one guy yep that's extremely cool all right now look so far I'm very excited
about what they have but this is the this is the mack daddy of them all
whatever it is when I walked up to the booth I looked at this and I went okay I
don't know what that is but doesn't it look what that looks cool so you got to
tell me what this is that I don't yes it's that's extremely cool if you're
familiar with the line of Taurus revolvers we have our Raging Bull series
huh which you can also find a raging judge so it's our large-frame revolvers
we took a gun about two or three years ago and we took it to a high knowing
gunsmith and we asked him to do some things for us so what he did is he went
in we put some picatinny rails on top we put some on bottom we did a little bit
of trigger work on it and we took those guns out and we started messing with
them we went on some hunting trips you know yeah we do a little mag along here
at Taurus and two years ago you could install me in there and I shot a gator
with it so maybe not the correct application but I don't know you killed
the Gator to let me kill you well are you open jobs yes you know we actually
put a little 4x magnifier long eye relief scope on it and it wasn't it we
were a few feet away but you know but it was very effective we did some boar
hunting and stuff like that but um you know I the the handgun hunting market I
you know I think that's something that's just to get it could be really funny
know what are the chamberings are this so this right here what we have here is
a 44 Magnum so we have that right here
yeah and we have a two-tone finish here it's also available in all black matte
black one thing that you know you mentioned how cool it is and we're gonna
concentrate it up here on the front where we have that Picatinny rail we do
have a ported barrel and if you look closer you actually see
that there's a barrel liner in here so this is actually aluminum so this is a
lot of shroud is aluminum but the barrel of steel it barrel is still yes that's
why it's bound it seems a balance really would yes it is yes please
dude the balance is right in the middle mm-hmm and you know with you got a
little like a little red the little micro red dot or something on that
exactly and we did that because it does offset the weight you know of any kind
of optic you might put on the front well for 44 mag that's not a heavy gun it's
not evenly as well and that's not it heavy vandal you know it does a lot for
you if you're carrying so if you are a handgun hunter you know you're tending
to try to get closer to it you're on your target so territory yeah you know
you may not be sitting in the stand so if you're you know checking my footing
you know if you're on the ground crawling so it's a much smaller package
we've taken some weight off so again you know much easier to carry
now what's what's going on with that I was just so with all of our AG series I
was looking at it earlier I got all these questions I probably just shut up
and let the man talk I'm sorry so you know with all of our raging series and
even with the raging hunter we have a double lock up so you have a lock up in
the front and one in the rear for the shoulder from the cylinder so we're
locking up the front of the oak and here back at the rear of the cylinder for a
nice tie super strong yes you know we talked about fitting finish again very
tight on that cylinder gap again I don't I'm not sure if you can get the dollar
bill in there I'm not sure you could either I was looking at it I don't know
tight cylinder and then and then if you go ahead and cock it what I noticed
earlier is that's right there yeah I got the tagging wait what I
noticed earlier is doesn't move I mean once it locks I mean it it moves it but
it's imperceptible I mean it's so small it locks up so stinkin tight that's like
a bank wall dude I mean I know that's that's and that's really amazing yes you
get the adjustable iron sight on the rear and of course and a rail to put
whatever a little with Optical necessary so you know that that pretty much well
this is my new pocket pistol yes please carry this yes absolutely you have to
have really deep pockets I don't know how you draw it and you know one thing
we haven't mentioned here you know tourists you know
if the attractive thing about tourists is not only we're coming out with start
to come up with innovative product you know we always have but you know with
with the fit and finish here and then our price points you know with the 856
we're talking about the MSRP of 329 oh my yeah and it's just it's a fantastic
RP if you shop around Oh retail is you know yeah
as we get towards the 692 we're talking about MSRP and 650 oh wow yeah and then
here you know this is what we're really proud of MSRP of just what we're just
over now at nine hundred nineteen dollars so much got in here it's a lot
of cut for $900 like I said retail you know as a retailer it's gonna be lower
and there's many things you can do with this I mean the applications are endless
with this so they put a lot of meat on the table with that thing that's for
sure yes so you've got some new semi-auto products to go through we do
have some new semi-automatic handguns we can talk about some 1911 some hammer
fired and also we go 1911 for a long time can we go look at those let's do it
oh okay hang on we're gonna go look at those we'll be right back we've shifted
around a little bit now we're over here where we've got some brand new
semi-automatic pistols one of which is a commander sir about this yes 1911 SAR
near and dear to my heart as well so so far we've got we've hit two things I
really love revolvers and 1911 you did you set me up
yeah exactly so what have we got over here well we have basically our 1911
line here so new to Taurus something that we've never had is the
officer commander size so these tend to be again more the more popular 1911's
because the concealed variability is you know right if you like that metal frame
gun 1911 is usually you know where you tend to go to most people have a 1911 a
lot of people make it like 1911 believe it or not we make a really good nice and
Levin a Taurus you know I'm very impressed with how tight our guns out
how smooth they are that tends to be a lot of the 1911 you know
what came from mr. John Browning but right you know I'm really proud of our
1911's we have the new Alfa sir we have the new commander here we have our
full-size all these are single stag 45 we have the note back cut we do have you
know the nice extended extended yeah yep then at safety you've got the extended
beaver tail for comfort Becky absolutely you know although it looks like yeah you
know something really that's really important to note it on a lot of our
hold it for us on a lot of our newer nights and 11 says we're going more
towards the spec to the government's backup of a 911 you know some of our
previous models weren't so friendly to the aftermarket you know aftermarket
barrel slide sights and stuff like that what we're trying to get that back on to
where people can get that gun and customize it to their liking right so
you know now we have the true novak side couple tend to do that with 1911 so like
they do where they are yeah every kind of aftermarket featuring a and strip it
down to the frame you put what you want on that wraps and yet you've still got
the skeletonized trigger yes you've got the extended shapee you got the nice
comfortable beaver tail on them yes I what I was one of things I thought when
I picked up as I really liked was that was a real positive yeah rip on either
side of the slide and I'm here as well yeah our serrations are dug out pretty
deep living this you know a nice you know it's it's hung it's it's got some
meat to it but a nice little Ridge there which does provide a very natural
positive if you're you know if you're police officer or security officer or
you're just current it's gonna and you're in the rain and your guns wet yes
you need to have these really to be very very strong so you can grip it
absolutely I've experienced it where the guns been wet and
and you shake your hand watch the slip yeah so these aren't these don't cut you
they don't aren't uncomfortable they're they're deep enough that they're really
strong and they wear down your scan your clothes yeah they're not gonna beat you
up they're not gonna grab you and I could hurt you but when you need to get
a hold of it to rack the slide you've got a really strong positive grip on you
crack found that very I mean it seems like a minor thing but if you've carried
one as I have for many many years that's not a minor thing that's actually a very
positive thing you're correct you know some of the things you can see here is
you know we have our our own side plate grip panel here we have the nice new
Taurus logo in there we have our serrations you know on the frame front
and rear so you know there's the other thing I know there's two of us looking
at them earlier is a lot of times when people do this on the on the front strap
it's not really called a front strapping when they when they do that it's it can
be so it can be overly aggressive you don't I mean yep where it's
uncomfortable and these aren't these are just these are not they're not
understated and they're not overly aggressive so when I grip the pistol
it's a very comfortable grip I don't I don't feel like that's biting into my
hand or gonna tear my hand up shooting it I agree so again I just like kind of
minor things but they're you know when you when you got the gun in your hand
and you're and you're shooting three four hundred rounds that day it's not a
minor yeah and these guns you know I like the shoot are 90 Levin's you know I
think they're very smooth like I said if you know I'm gonna I'm gonna hand it
back to you and ask you to do a little Iraq there sure just to see wow it is
written yes not hadn't done that that is very smooth there's no grit to that at
all you know it doesn't hang up it doesn't
okay that's really smooth yes why do I get the feeling he wouldn't have hand it
to me unless he thought I was gonna be impressed planets that's really smooth
it's almost like you guys did you polish it or what did you do it straight off
the machine I just you know I I don't know if our
1911's get the respect they deserve apparently not yeah apparently not I was
very impressed when I was standing here looking at him earlier I truthfully I
don't think of I've never thought of Taurus in 1911 manufacturing he right
until I came over and picked him up you know I thought wow they're precious when
I joined the company you know I picked some up and shot him I said this is good
you know I've worked for some companies that have done something nice 1911 stuff
but I'm very impressed with this and again you were talking about that that
price point that that tours hits on so you're talking about a very you know our
new product our new 911 officer and commander both ago reached our suggested
retail at 6:09 oh wow or 1911 yeah that's very inaccessible yeah and we're
talking about guns that are more towards the spec now I don't know if I don't
know if they're available and I live in the people's Socialist Republic of
California they may not be there and now they're not so if you're if you're with
me and you're a prisoner of California I'm sorry I can't get one either so that
is what it is we're in the same boat but everywhere else and the last thing to
touch on is you know we do these this is our full-size here again 45 and we have
a matte stainless finish and you know in our grip plate here's actually has a
little bit of great tone to it which I think pairs with the stainless as well
they just really have a really good feel tool I mean I like I said I'm you know I
love 1911 anyway so it's hard to get me not to like a 1911 to be quite honest
with you but just the way the grip is and the way the you've knurled or
whatever you want to call it the back and front strap it's just aggressive
enough without being painful without a job it does the job and no more
that's a boy that's a great way of saying it does the job and no more this
one this particular model here you're going to get a ambidextrous manual
safety and it's just a really good gun all the way around yeah you know I
should have made it to Russia I should have made it the industry ranged a media
rainy day and I didn't make it try to get the shoot one sure
so that's our new night see look this guy isn't so much new but these are our
new 1911 so you got a bunch of little guys over
there that we can't really she can you pull one over to one side and you know
this isn't so much new to the world we actually released the tour spectrum last
year at shop show yeah and you know really good
really good stuff happen here you know with the release we got a lot of
attention and some fantastic done it's a fantastic shooter
we just started shipping recently so you know we took our time to make sure this
pistol was right before it went out so we didn't want to deliver something that
we weren't proud of so you know obviously I have not shot one but I have
heard nothing but good about it you know we saw this opportunity as there are a
lot of problems that we can solve with the torah' spectrum so as we know we
build our products buck out we you know we made a bullet point you know these
type of guns tend to be a bear to shoe they tend to feel like you know I don't
feel social or you don't feel right it's gonna come out your hand or you know and
typically you know this size gun you you you purchase it you get a nice stuff
that fits around you go put that you know a box do it you say I hope I never
have to shoot that again and that's the problem and that's one of the things I
talk to students about if you've got a gun that you don't like to shoot you'll
never practice with it and then it's supposed to it's supposed to be used to
save your life exactly and then you have to think about how it works or you know
no it's got to be something that you like to shoot you shoot
yeah and you know we talked that we've hit on the concealed carry a lot you
know a lot of people get into the the firearms industry through concealed
carry so they feel like they need protection and they may not actually be
a weekend range warrior or something like that so you know they're part
they're purchasing something to do a job and has to protect them so we want to be
able to make sure that we've made a product that that person can take to the
range and build the confidence that they know they can use it in that time so to
take it to the range and just shoot a box and moku and say I never hope I have
to use that again to me it's not settling you're not comfortable with it
obviously because you have it at the practice and to know that you can take
this and you can if if you have to get an unfortunate circumstance to use it
that you feel that you can do it you shoot at all junk yeah right and we want
you to be the one to come out of that scenario so that's why we that's why we
put our heart and soul into these processes so they come in a whole bunch
of different colors yeah you know the spectrum hence the name it comes in a
whole lot of different colors and the idea there you know we have the black on
black if colors offend you that's fine you know black black guns matter and you
know they're in the scholarship one to Yuma though for me and I'll reveal for
you out there if you want to show you that do it yeah back yeah absolutely
absolutely I think you'll love it I have a question for you that's not related to
that and it's related to your wall yes one of the things I notice you have
longest up there we have some long guns I don't think of Taurus as a rifle
company you know and you know we're know and the reason is is we have another a
few other brands in our portfolio so we see some long guns back here and that's
our Rossi brand so can we look at those absolutely ok let's do it we're gonna go
look at us we'll be right back I saw these from before okay I really
like rimfire type rifles in general as you know because if you watch my channel
you see me shoot a million of them and these were very intriguing to me so what
is it we have on this wall yeah so when you look at our Rossi brand and what we
have going on here we have a whole list of new hand long
guns here so I'll rimfire like you said we have some we have a semi-auto and
then we have a few bold actions here our semi-auto is a 22lr this particular ball
action right here is a 22lr and we get a little bigger a little longer we get the
22 Magnum and then down here we have 17 HMR which is that's extremely cool very
popular round these do these days so bolt action you know it's a typical bold
action excuse me it's smooth get nice locking bolt with the 22lr in both both
of these the the semi-auto and the bold action you have iron sights we have a
3/8 dovetail cut on each of these right the rear sight will actually fold down
and go forward and allow you to get you know for a little more scope of kind of
accountability off extraction of fiber optic sides nice and bright yes they are
you know this is a these are particularly for you know introducing
kids into yeah my kids learned to shoot on 22 Jared I am I started shooting when
I was five my dad taught me how to shoot on a 22 that's pretty common way to know
a lot of people come through something like this so we got the you know both
action if we don't want to get into semi maybe they graduate to a semi-auto all
of these rifles here are magazine fed the capacity on our 22lr is ten rounds
well even the bolt the bolt cutter magazine fit both guns our magazine fed
as well yep external magazine that you insert
the 22 Magnum and the 17 HMR our five round magazine-fed now here's some I'm
just going to share with you yeah here's the thing that startled me when I walked
up here if you case you know what I'm pointing at I'm looking at the price tag
but these things what one now I'm old in my eyes don't work so correct me if I'm
wrong a hundred and thirty nine bucks that is 139 no semi yes sir 179 179 and
I'm once like I said I'm blind what is that this one 179 is what it is
yes so 179 for our bold action and then our semi-auto here is 139 and that's
that's MSRP that's MSRP that is astounding
it is great that's actually this a great price point is I mean I pick one up
please
that's great for kids that doesn't wait anything and you know you know we worked
with Rossi to do a lot of stuff on the grip here the excuse me not to grip but
the stock yeah so we have we've added some some texturing here where it counts
we've done a little bit of relief here for your front arm we've adjusted we we
like to say we put the the comb height where it should be and the length of
pull it should be right where it should be yeah so you know it's a good it's
it's you know it serves the youth purpose as well as you know an adult
purpose so you know I think it also just honestly the way you've done the
checkering or whatever you want to call here it just looked cool like I said you
know there's a certain cool factor to guns when they look cool yeah I tend to
you know push the development team to really concentrate on that so again make
it something that's aesthetically pleasing when the purchase at the
counter you know whether it be the aesthetics or the way it feels the
smooth action but you know it you know 1:39 price range that openes live yeah
you bet yeah a lot absolutely so maybe this year so
these are do these are brand-new for Rossi so everything at this part of your
booth is all new all new yes so come on so come I mean good you're talking 30 40
yeah we have a lot going on here yeah so we have a little bit of repetition with
different skis and stuff like that I'm gonna but when you break it down we're
talking to almost a dozen new products Wow
