evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 There is going to be a lot of gear flooding the market, so people can gather up the funds for these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm totally ignorant when it comes to this gun... Is that a left side eject port in the picture? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ejection left or right. Charging handle left or right. There is going to be a lot of gear flooding the market, so people can gather up the funds for these. I'm thinking the Red Jacket S12 may get "traded in". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) it just doesn't do nothing for me, so I will pass on it, I'll let one of you guys spend your coins on it, I'm out of the running to get one of these things.

rs51085 136 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 looks like the best bull pup I have seen so far. the only thing i question is the trigger pull weight. at around 9 pounds trigger pull that is stupid heavy for a rifle imho. hopefully you can change it. other than that it sounds great, but i am to poor for it any way.

XD45 7,124 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) First shots. Stand by for the full review. Edited March 2, 2013 by Darth Saigus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 hehe... I was just going to point out MAC's reviews on it. I'd have to try one before I would consider buying it. I did get to try a PS-90 once, and didn't like the grips at all, esp. the foregrip area. I would also like to try the P-2000, I think I'd like that better than the '90. "IF" things settle down with the RJF "Zombie Killer" .22 and they become more readily available (or I find a used one later), I might consider that one, too. Provided the budget allows for it, of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunman1 1,753 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well....I guess the Kimber takes a back seat AGAIN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sccritterkiller 473 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Great another gun to not shoot for lack of ammo. I like it but when the best deal on .223 ammo I can find is .40 cents a round reloads with me supplying the brass it kind of takes the fun out of buying a new toy....

Zombiehunter762 376 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 As much as I would like to have one. I'm going to pass for a long range rifle. DTA SRS Covert .308, .338 Laupa & .300 WIN MAG all in one. Of course each caliber is a separate conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Venia 249 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Good enough for the IDF, certainly more than good enough for me....I dig it especially with the Meprolight sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I would just suggest this: if you want one, wait. I believe there will be a lot of people buying it up and discovering that they don't like the ergonomics of the rifle at all, and they'll be dumped back on the market lightly used. That, in combination with lowering prices as the scare buying levels off, should mean that you could pick up a Tavor at a nice discount in some time - maybe a year. It's a nice rifle, but the feel is very wrong for me. I shot one at the range and I didn't like it. The bullpup thing sort of fizzled on me as well after owning another bullpup rifle a while back. Most of all, I don't like the weight balance of most bullpups. I feel like I'm holding a DVD player against my shoulder with a french baguette coming out of it.

Remek 771 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 ^^^ Per the availability and pricing, I am hoping for the same. I haven't shot one, but I know what you mean about the balance, it seems a bit off when you are used to a normal rifle. That said, I'm hoping in about 6 months or so to get one. I think it might be an optimal close-quarters (inside the house) home defense rifle. I'd at least like the chance to try it out a while and then decide against it if I must. Doesn't matter right now though, I am not paying a buck and a quarter per round to try out a new gun, or even to shoot my others. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm putting my Red Jacket up for sale to finance one. I've had it 6 years and shot less than 200 shells through it. It's just a safe queen and I'm not attached to it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with mancat, it is not for everybody .Thats why I have a folding stock on my siaga. For me the KISS method is important for any gun I use. This looks like an awsome gun but pups are akward for me. Thanks for the information post.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
