Taurus Curve... It's strange

[DStewart]

Have any of you seen this new design. Definitely different.

Some of the comments on instagram were cracking me up!

"So it's got a mag and a clip? #operatorasf***"

This could be nice to conceal carry to church and maybe an office job where you have to wear a tie...

problem that i see is its a small .380 that isn't smaller than its competitors.

pocket .380's don't have printing issues anyway- its the only reason they sell at all. the "curve" is gimmicky and stupid, just my initial impression.

 

[DStewart]

I can agree with it being gimmicky. It's not really my cup of tea. I mean I have to say they really thought out of the box, but I kinda like the box.

Dave, yeah I saw some too, they were cracking me up.

Definitely a Glock Killer.

no iron sights. white crosshairs on back to align...

Kind of like the KSG- it's a niche market gun that very few people have any use for, and it's over-priced. I'm betting there are reliability issues out the door, too. Not a fan, but if it gives someone the option to carry when they didn't have one before, then fine.

So, we're going to sit around and knock the gun before any of us have fired it? Gotcha.

Personally, I already have the Bodyguard .380, don't really have a need for another .380. I think it looks cool. I'd like to shoot it, just to say I did it. Given that it's a Taurus, I wouldn't expect too much from it, but I'd be open minded about firing it.

So, we should praise it before any of us have fire it?

First thought, I question the pocket gun that says " That’s right, no holster needed."

It also says, for IWB carry, " A removable belt clip is also bolted to the right side of the frame, allowing the pistol to be worn in your waistline for clever concealment with an included triggerguard protector." But I see no picture of the trigger protector.

I'd love to shoot one, and personally don't knock it just because it is a Taurus, but I'm not sure it would be any better for me personally than the Ruger LCR I currently have for this purpose.

Look at the pics at the bottom of the article. It comes with a Raven Vanguard 1 knockoff, basically.

I didn't notice them mentioning capacity while I was reading. Does anybody know what that is? I could see it being a solution for when someone needs a super-deep-concealment handgun, and wants something better than a NAA mini revolver. But being a semi-auto, it better be really reliable.


Edit: here

6 round capacity.

Love to see some alternative hand swapping to manipulate the firearm effectively.

My $.02 is it is gimmicky junk.

 

[general mills]

ok, i see the clip, guess i didn't scroll through enough pics. Thought the were advocating putting a gun in your pocket with an unprotected trigger, not my cup of tea.


I'll hold off and see what nutnfancy has to say about it!

How accurate can it be with that barrel crowned like that?Or is that what curves the bullet?

I'm pretty sure I didn't say that.

I think it's pretty doggone silly to bash a gun that just hit the market, and nobody here has even held in their hand. If someone has shot it and offered negative feedback on it, that's another thing entirely.

Idea of the gun contouring to your body is pretty innvovative. But ergonomically I wonder how it will feel in hand.
