Taurus International has announced a new series of duty-sized handguns based on their popular OSS-series of handguns that was designed and marketed to the military.
The new 800 series will be available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.
The Taurus 809 is the 9mm pistol. Like many polymer frame, duty size pistols, the 809 has a 17+1 capacity. Unlike many polymer frame pistols, the Taurus 809 is not striker fired, rather it uses a “normal” hammer.
The gun is a single action pistol, however, it has a “Strike Two” capability. If the round does not ignite on the first pull of the trigger, the gun reverts to double action. This is Taurus’s method of providing a second-strike on the same round. I find this feature to be dubious at best, yet it is a capability that many gun writers have been touting as a life-saver. If it is something you want, the Taurus 800 series pistols have it.
Suggested retail prices are in the mid-$600′s depending on what you want. Taurus offers its lifetime warranty on these pistols.
Stay safe!

They did have them at Gander Mountain., but I am not sure if they still have them. I am looking for one myself. Let me know if you find one, or found one.
Thanks
@ bryan brunning. just look for a local dealer that does weapons customization. its easier to buy the weapon and have it coated pink than to look for one already pink.
