Pistol-caliber carbines are becoming more popular, and Taurus has a great take on the platform. The CT G2 is available in .40 S&W and .45 ACP, along with 9 mm. The 9 mm version has a 32-round magazine, a 16-inch barrel and weighs 9.25 pounds. It retails for $820.
The landscape of the combat handgun in America was very different at the dawn of the 1980s. For starters, the U.S. was still largely revolver country, but it’s the world of duty/service pistols that I’m looking at.
