Not sure I like how the gun has that much of a free hing.  It looks difficult to reload or should I say reload. 
Get one!  Tell us how it works.

  I thought about one a while back but didn't care for the scope mount.  just looked out of place on the design.  wasn't aware that is was imported by taylor's.  Thought it was of thier own production.  I can't see it being anything but a decent quality firearm being from them though.

Looks pretty neat to me.  I don't think I like the MSRP of $850 though.  I can get a new Ruger for less than that, and the Ruger is the best looking one in my eyes.

I rather have kept the Beretta 412 series Folding Shotgun, I rebarreled to .44 Mag, back in the 70's.

It, at least, had a known good quality - so all I had to do was unsweat the shotgun barrel from the monoblock & turn down  a .44 barrel from Numrich, sweat it in place & chamber it, and was good to go.

I also found this at www.chiappafirearms.com when I downloaded their pdf catalog. Called their number in Dayton, Ohio for the past couple of days but cannot get past voicemail.  :-\

Have emailed Taylor Firearms yesterday but haven't gotten an answer on what a delivered price would be on one of these.

Guess that they're not interested in selling these.
