The *NEW* Taurus Curve

Post by Rongo »

The Concealed Carry gun that prints on your body like a smartphone... Not a gun. Why didn't I think of that!! :facepalm1:



Suggest Retail is under $400, If it proves to be reliable Taurus is gonna make a boatload of $$$ off this one. Did I mention they patented this little guy? 380 Auto, 6 +1, has a laser & LED light to boot! :vcool:

I thought this was going to be about the car, nice teeny little gun, I like something with more heft. With a little gun my options are reduced to shoot, I am not always in the mood to kill someone, every February 31st I have a weak moment were I might just bash someone's teeth in instead of shooting them. For that I need the solid heft of my big Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Cool gun, wish they made it in 9mm.. Easer to find ammo, and a smidge more stopping power. Wonder how snappy it is.

The NEW Taurus curve is sure different. So much so it looks more like a phone than a gun( like my LCP . 380) The one time I had to pull a gun on someone to protect myself all I had to do, before actually shooting,was show them I had a gun.The expression on their face, upon seeing I had the means to kill them ,was pure terror.It probably saved me from a legal nightmare and many nights sleep.Nice gun though.JGC

I can't believe I am thinking this, but I think I like it. It is a purpose built tool rather than a perfumed pig.

I'd imagine they'll step up caliber sizes once the market accepts it as a viable CC piece. I'm liking on this as well. I would like the option of removing the laser and light.

I was thinking the same thing. All the bother of holsters, proper apparel choices & such gets some reprieve with this one. Reminds me of when the Glock first came out. A eureka moment.

Cool! A gun I have absolutely no desire to shoot or own. Don't have lights or lasers on my handguns either.



But, that is the beauty of a more or less free market. You want a compact 1911 in 9mm, they make 'em. You want a .44mag revolver, they make 'em. Want a large .45 Glock, or a tiny .380 Glock, you guessed it they make them. The curved grip is interesting.

And just think Fred how guiltless you would feel if you suddenly had the need to toss the pistol in the river. Couldn't say that about a nice 1911!

Do I detect a slant cut on the front of the barrel? A slant cut would help reduce the rise when shooting and help keep it on target.

I thought so too... It seems that the cut helps in it's snag free ability though.

It's hard to tell in the pics, but the entire frame of the gun is "curved" to form against your thigh. Neat design, not sure about lack of sights but i guess your aiming for central mass with that one.

This might be one of those guns that shot around corners.
