Reply | Edit | Del All The Talon Industries .380 ACP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been looking for a good somewhat compact 9mm or .380 ACP handguun for the money. I have came across Hi-Point.. which I heard was no good.
I recently came across a company that is based here in Montana called Talon Industries.. I really like there model of the .380 ACP .. THE T100. It is actually a really nice gun and has a alright length for a barrel(4")and the price is right(150.00)
Has anyone heard of The Talon Industries T100 and T200 guns? If so let me know because Im thinking of getting the .380 ACP model.
Also another question..
How is it to take care of a .380 ACP caluber handgun? Iss it more work than say . a regular 9mm? Is the ammo hard to find ? And also how powerful is it compared to other guns near its caliber.?
Thanks for the Input

I have sold two Talon 9mm pistols. The 1st one came back with a cracked slide after firing less than 50 rounds. The factory did replace the pistol but for about the same $$ you can buy a Makarov or PA-63 in 9X18 cal. Much better pistol IMHO.

I was just looking at some Makarov pictures and specs.. You were right this one is actually cheaper and plus it comes with a holster and a magazine.. But there is one thing, is this PA-63 a .380 ACP caliber.. It mentions it being 9x18? Im not much of a gun person so I have no idea what that means.

Welcome aboard Frequency X, I agree with S45, the
Mak or FEG PA63 is a much better way to go, I have
sold many of them with none ever comming back and
mucho compliments on these pistols, they are a well
built little pistol in my opinion.
The 9X18 is the same diameter as the .380 bullet but
with a slightly longer case, it carries a bit more punch
with it when striking a target.
As far as care goes, not much difference than any
similar semi-auto pistol.

Go to www.makarov.com to find out more about the Makarov pistol. Lots of info there.

The good thing about the Makarovs is that you can get one in the original Russian Makarov caliber, and get a replacement barrel in 380 ACP from Federal Ordnance fairly cheap - then you have one pistol you can change out to two different calibers.

Thanks for the information! So if I was to get a Makarov, which one would I get? I have seen bulgarian ones and some other types. And where would be the best place for price to buy a Mak? Preferbly the one where you can switch the barrel to a .380 ACP?
Thanks

Bulgarian is good. East German is also good but usually costs more. I second the recommendation of www.makarov.com for more information.
The 9x18 Mak is very similar to .380 a little more powerful but not much. Ammo used to be hard to come by but I think that one of the big boys (Hornady maybe) sells a defensive load now. Check it out first or get the switch barrel to use which ever is at hand.

Hi, FrequencyX, welcome to TFF.
Please be advised that the FEG PA-63 also comes in the .380 caliber as well as the 9 X 18. I'm saying this because I have a .380 in its holster with extra clip. Very accurate shooter.
But the Marakov is probably a little sturdier pistol with a little more oomph in velocity.
But the FEG is cool as it looks a little like the James Bond PPK.
