New Taurus Curve

[miller_man]

Well, its a Taurus so it'll prob be great  :shake:

[10-Ring]

If it was super comfortable to carry and functioned well I may be interested in one regardless of how it looks.  I have some pretty guns and I have some functional guns.  For a gun that will stayed hidden 100% of the time I could care less what it looks like.  That's why I own Glocks.   I will never see the point of adding a laser and/or light on a pocket sized .380 though and that alone would turn me off to it as it did the Bodygaurd.

I think the laser may actually appeal to certain women who may not be comfortable with their shooting skills (not that women can't shoot as well as men but they frequently lack some of the confidence) and the light is ideal for finding crap in the bottom of their purse ;)

From a guy who carries a 4" XD IWB, what is the point. I can't imagine that there is anywhere I need to go that I have to be so concealed that I need a curved gun. I am out on this one. When they go down to$100 I might get one for wife as a novelty gift(ghetto butt.)

Meh, Taurus left a bad taste in my mouth years ago. Interesting concept but I think this is like trying to reinvent the wheel.

What's the point of most things? More choice is almost always better.

Meh, it's only the plastics so in theory, they can hit a couple of programs on their CAD software and knock out a mold for a left-handed version also.

The magazine looks like it's probably straight to me.

Would you also need left handed mags?

Neat concept, who's going to be the first to post a review?

[tnguy]

I'd bet on the mags being ambidextrous.

 

I would expect the ejection port to still eject to the right on a left-handed version but there's no real reason that would have to be the case.

I can't see the magazine being curved, unless somehow it's flexible.

I'm not convinced this is anything but vaporware.  Their spec sheet talks about a manual safety, but heck if I see one in any of the pictures.  And, how do you activate the light and laser?  Am I missing the button?  Maybe it's Crimson Trace-ish under that grip pad?  Do you activate the lights and the laser?

The spec sheet only discusses a mag disconnect and loaded chamber indicator.  I assume the headlights & laser beam are activated using the big switch on the left side in front of the trigger.

Actually th big round thing under where it says curve on the slide shows 2 positions in their photos. Indented in one and bulging out in another. Looks like a switch to me.

Here's the page I'm referring to:  http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=901&category=Pistol  Notice the two pictures.  The big one up top doesn't match up with the one where they're inserting the "Taurus Security System" key.

 

When the Security System is engaged, the pistol cannot be fired or cocked and the gun's manual safety cannot be disengaged.

 

You may be right about the button.  I was assuming that the oblong one directly in front was the mag release.  Maybe that round spot above is an activation button?

[broox]

maybe it is voice activated

I think you're right.  I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

I don't mean to sound so down on this pistol.  I'm just not sure it's fully baked.

 

Maybe that's the firearms industry at large these days, though.

From the looks of it, it was OVER baked...

Where is this mag release you speak of?  :lol:

 

I wish y'all would quit making me look at pictures of this thing.  It's mildly disturbing.

[Raoul]

If you hold it urban style to shoot you'd probably shoot your own foot.

[Dustbuster]

Made to go in Kim kardashians back pocket... And that's it.

You naysayers just wait.  American Rifleman will review this thing and it will be the most awesome gun they've ever reviewed since last month's most awesome gun they've ever reviewed.

They're not going to have space to review it. Elections are less than two years out.

It's quite obvious that it's a specialty build for the one and only gorgeous Jessie Duff. That's the only gun that will lay flat for her when concealed. Carry On!

In that case a southpaw edition should be forthcoming shortly.
