Taurus Curve... It's strange

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.

I'll just leave this here.

I'll just leave this here.

The contour of the weapons curve is setup for right handed shooters to carry. From everything I read, there is no options in the near future for a left handed design.

I never even thought of that. Good point.

That was the first thing I noticed. I was commenting on Devilneck's quote. He was saying we shouldn't criticize something we have never shot, but what lefty wants to shoot this thing? lol

My $.02 is it is gimmicky junk.

So....... like the KSG

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.

Given the manufacturer's less than stellar record on reliability, I'd say concerns are valid.

And that is a valid criticism. I'm a lefty.

It looks like a heavy-duty cigar cutter.

I was wondering about that crown too. It doesn't mess up trajectory having unequal barrel contact with the bullet as it leaves the barrel?

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

[oleheat]

Yeah, that's a little too "dedicated" a design, for my taste.

Yeah- I'm a southpaw, too. And we just ain't takin' it no more.

Between that and Hipoint buying Colt I believe we just won the universe.

Hipoint buying Colt .

Is that a joke? Did that really happen?

A sinister plot!

I suspect that long range accuracy is going to suffer.

Seriously though, I think that it is interesting that Taurus isn't afraid to take chances on some radically different designs lately (The View also, and to a lesser extent the little M380 revolver). You don't see this kind of bizarre out of left field thinking coming from many gun manufactures these days.
