The Most Pedestrianly Exciting Shot Show 2022 Release

There is enough to be all aflutter about a few releases that were actually or sort of made at Shot Show 2022. 

Mega-boutique gunmaker KelTec's P15 demands a response from the blue-collar gun makers. 

.30 Super Carry raises many questions including: (1) Is it hype? (2) Will it ka-BOOM pistols? (3) Will it gain traction? 

A four-column (A)rmalite (R)ifle magazine receiver. 

A hunting cartridge that is perfected for a shorty bolt-action. And it is 8 or 9mm or something.

Franklin Armory's ridiculously expensive G-S173 binary trigger system (pretty much everything but the frame, barrel, and recoil rod and spring).

Harrington & Richardson has been reinvented with a retro M-16A1 clone being its first release. H&R really does still holds some trademarks to and full technical specifications for the M-16, because H&R was one of the original manufacturers. And guess what. Palmetto State Armory bought H&R in the Remington liquidation.

So what's the big news? Taurus has a .327 Federal Magnum revolver already cataloged on its website. It looked very exciting, because it looks very similar to the 856 UL revolver - the 6-shot .38-Special Ultra-Lite version of Taurus's 5-shot model 85. Unfortunately, the current offering of the Taurus 327 is a full-weight albeit snubnose 6-shot format tipping the scales at 22 oz. It's at a nice MSRP of $371 and 5 cents.

I really hope Taurus has a 327 UL in its back pocket. Maybe it will be called the 3277 UL - keeping the trend going for Taurus of adding a round at the same time that the Ultra-Lite version appears.
