Anyone have any insight on the availability of the new for 2002 Taurus 851 ("Protector," .38, zero-profile hammer, adj sights) or the 651 (same in .357 magnum)?

Is in the new catalog but my local dealer says he can't get them yet.
 
I hate it when they catalog stuff they don't have. :mad:

Try contacting Taurus to see what kind of timetable we're looking at.
 
they look like they can compette with the s&w 11oz 640. but on the site it says the gun weights 24oz, i would think there would b a lighter model. i want the 640 but i imgen the 851 would b about 200- 300 less.

Catalog wrong?

You are right, the catalog shows the 651/851 at like 25 oz.! Looking at the other guns, that has to be the weight in steel. The ultalight and titanium weights must be around 15 oz. or so.

I think I am not going to wait for the 851 and just go with a Model 85 multi-alloy ultralight Police. It has a concealed hammer, so DAO -- but its less than 14 oz. and +P rated! If the 851 isnt available until December, that probably means February and prices will be high for a while.
