similar but with better trigger and looks,

As the PP700 is a regulated PCP I wouldn't say the Taichi is that similar. All the reviews I have seen comment on the heavy trigger so it's not necessarily better either. I don't like the sound of the filling procedure where it will vent the entire cylinder if you forget to cock the hammer or tighten the grub screw quickly enough. All my match pistols have a pivoting trigger so I don't see a straight pull trigger as a particular advantage.
It looks quite good, it appears to be a cross between the CP1 and the PP700 using the 700's breach and hammer system. Its a shame they didn't make open sights that fitted the shroud instead of having to remove it and fit the muzzle weight from a CP1 to the end of the barrel.
If you want one I would wait until SMK import the same pistol for probably £50 less than airforce one charge.

we had one in ....an all black one.
Looked quite nice and cant comment too much as i only had one shot with it as it was passed around among about 20 members but the trigger moved back in a straight fashion rather than arcing and felt a bit odd and galling slightly.
It was farily good but had a dramatic tail off in power much greater than say a 2240
It was not figured out quite why this was so.....it hasnt been back in since but ill try it again if it comes back
