Taurus RPC Review
American firearms manufacturer Taurus has launched the RPC, a roller‑delayed compact PDW chambered in 9mm with a 32‑round magazine. Weighing under 5 lb unloaded, the gun features ambidextrous controls, full‑length Picatinny rails, M‑LOK handguard, and a quick‑change barrel system. Its roller‑delayed blowback reduces felt recoil, delivering sub‑2‑second bill drills and 1.78‑inch groups at 25 yards. Priced at $940 without the brace and $1,099 with, the RPC aims to undercut rivals while appealing to tactical and civilian shooters.
