Did you mean "now"?
I've seen Australians talk of them on TargetTalk.org
Are they finally coming to the USA and maybe Canada?

I was told they won't be sold in the US market because they lack a manual safety. If they do come here for around $1200 I will def try one out.

Several for sale on GunBroker right now...

Greetings,

Kindly post a link to the GunBroker sales.

I cannot find them.

Cheers,

Interesting that none of the vendors on GB or indeed the Chiappa website mention how many magazines come as standard with the gun. Might be work checking before buying one

I saw the same as well as zero information on trigger weight or adjustment. I swear I read all that info somewhere before.

Here is one

There are many other.

Search "FAS 6007"

No FFL required. That's what it says on the listing. I suspect that is one of those alternate truth things.

Edit. I sent seller a question about his 11.95 shipping and no FFL required.

saw that also Lenv.Like your answer as mine would be BS.

Greetings,

Thanks for the search words. I was able to locate several.

Interesting that all post the same photo. No photos of the actual item being purchased.

There was mention of a "manual" safety?

Cheers,

Dave

Greetings,

Managed to find an on-line manual in English.

Fairly well written with lots of pictures.

Quite similar to my FAS603 in design.

Rear Sight has been much improved!

Grip adjustable for cant.

Manual safety is a flag you place in the chamber.

Cheers,

Dave

Dave,
I don't know why searches are incomplete; I found them earlier on Gunbroker, but see:FAS Chiappa 207 New . Dipnet

I certainly would like to see one. Not sure if I'd upgrade from my FAS607. But the one thing I have hope for is it seems the magazines are the same, so I might finally be able to have more than one.

Unfortunately, my experience so far with the Chiappa service center in Canada has been atrocious. It has been impossible to even get pricing information out of them for simple things like grips for my Rhino.

no I don't speak Italian but you can see it's a top loader

Silly me. I got them to change their FFL requirement and adjust shipping cost but forgot to ask how many mags it came with.

I hope its finished better than their 6004 air pistol. On mine the trigger wasn't the best and it had issues shooting some pellets. I sold it to a guy that was interested in refining the pistol and succeeded in some aspects.

I find it amazing that a company goes to the trouble of importing a specialist target pistol and distributes it to many vendors, but they don't even put a decent and comprehensive description on their website and just a single photo.

Don't they have any staff who actually shoot and have an interest in firearms? Or are they just general traders who think this is no more than a piece of hardware, like an electric drill or a nail gun?

If that is their attitude and competence level it surely makes one think twice about buying one, and they are not cheap enough to just be a "throw away" toy.

I shot a Rhino, it was weird but nice. The Rhino looked to have been well made not excellent but good. 

Spare parts would be a concern but it looks like a great EIC /International pistol.
