Anyone Seen the Curve?

Karl/PA · 12-01-2014, 12:39 PM

Introducing the Taurus Curve™, the world's first and only curved firearm. Engineered to fit the unique contours of your body with no visible printing, the Curve is easily one of the most groundbreaking firearms ever conceived.

An extreme departure from your typical compact .380, you'll find the Curve takes form and function to an entirely unprecedented level. With its patented, snag-free design, the Curve boasts the industry's first-ever light and laser built right into the frame.

Exceptionally accurate and extremely lightweight at just 10.2 ounces, the Curve is one ultra-comfortable, ultra-reliable personal defense handgun.

That's different.

I wonder if it shoots crooked?

10 Bears · 12-01-2014, 02:39 PM

Quite a radical concept.

44044 · 12-01-2014, 02:50 PM

And it comes with a 'clip'...

Eightball · 12-01-2014, 05:01 PM

An interesting idea. Looks like it dresses to the left.

Schlitz · 12-01-2014, 07:36 PM

I think I sorta like it.

The Taurus View has a curved grip. I am willing to bet it will not hit the market till 3rd quarter 2015 if even than. They should have then at the Shot Show one could handle...

It was in the last update from Guns & Ammo. Can't say I'm interested.

WWes · 12-02-2014, 07:35 AM

Absolutely butt-ugly but for what it's made for I can't really criticize it.

Definitely not a display case queen or something to customize. Someone said they kinda like it, I kinda agree.

But is it "gentle giant" worthy? (on the Wilson end, not the cigar side)

Guess my question would be is how many .380's does it take to drop a linebacker minus "peeling the cap" to use their slang?

Cops would be quick to pick up on the left pocket "knife clip", most adversaries aren't that observant. I normally wear more than I'd need in the summer, looks like that might be where it really shines. 90+ day with lightweight shorts. Probably a good option for that?

I'm sure the reviews will come soon enough.

Wouldn't be any good for a left handed person. I wouldn't want it if it was made for a left handed person. I don't even like 9mm Luger.

It's a Taurus. That's already factored in.

I shouldn't say that seeing how I own a Taurus, but darn if it doesn't consistently hit to the left no matter how I try to compensate. Never noticed my others doing that.

It's a TAURUS. If it hits consistently to the left, you got a good one (because it's kept firing long enough to hit consistently ANYWHERE without breaking...)

To me it looks like the perfect answer to a problem that doesn't really exist.

5knives · 12-04-2014, 03:37 AM

Hmmm ...

MSRP will be $392, for the laser/light version, unknowns for the non-tarted up version.left handed version to follow. Being as the concealment problem with semi-autos is the grip, they've got that issue covered.

Meant to be a close up and personal self-defense tool, and modern 380 with the right load and bullet is adequate for that purpose ... they could be quite successful with it.
At first glance, it's worth taking seriously! Whether or not the public goes for it ...

Regards,
