Agreed ..................... but I still want one! In 300BLK!The Tavor is a "variety is the spice of life" champion.
It's short, handy, plenty accurate.
I have a 5,56 and a factory 9mm.
I want a 300 BLK for sure.
Trigger is pretty terrible.
Muzzle blast so close to my fillings hurts.

Not a great suppressor host (mostly because of how gassy it is).
The 9mm might be alright, gas wise, but I'd rather have a CZ scorpion than a 9mm Tavor in all honesty. My post was strictly from my experience with 5.56/.223 Tavor. I imagine the 300 BLK is just as gassy. I've noticed most of the gas is from where the pic rail is. It doesn't seal it up, so a lot of gas escapes from the back of the pic rail and goes across the right side of the face. I'm sure some messing about with it could fix that, but I've been taking of the pic rail pretty regularly for mods up until now, so I didn't want to fool with it just yet.I will add that in 9mm it's a very quiet and fun so shoot as a suppressor host.
The only factory 9mm Tavor I've ever seen is the one I have. Conversion kits are not cheap, $800ish!
As mentioned previously, I want a Tavor in 300BLK to suppress, though the gassiness worries me.
An additional con is that bringing the muzzle blast a good bit closer to your cabeza makes all bullpups seem loud to me. The price paid for the physical brevity.
The 9mm might be alright, gas wise, ....
CZ scorpion suppresses excellent. A little bit more recoil, but it has a massive chunky bolt and it's straight blow back.Yes. The 9mm Tavor is fantastic suppressed.
Some blow back pistol caliber carbines, when suppressed, vent a lot of gas and blast out the ejection port.
Not the Tavor. I think that heavy Tavor bolt cycles relatively slowly and allows the bullet to exit and the pressure drop prior to the extracting case mouth clearing the rear of the barrel. Also, there is no gas block port venting super-pressure gasses.
The 5.56 is the opposite.
Suppressed it's over-gassed and the bolt furiously slams back before the pressure in the can drops I think.
I've read that the 300BLK Tavor has an adjustable gas block. A huge benefit when shooting suppressed.
I NEED one!

I'd be interested in a 300 BLK conversion if it's got an adjustable gas block, thatd be neat. I hadn't heard that, but I haven't dug into them
I bought mine as a .223 but put a 9mm kit on it. It is really superb as either.
I prefer the SAR to the X95, if it matters.
