Curve 380

I know the curve is coming out here very soon. beyond what is posted on the website what do you guys really think of it leading up to its release.

I think this thread covered a lot of people's feelings towards the pistol

I think if you would want one, buy a lot of extra magazines, because while it will probably work, I do not see a long term market penetration. It is not like you could creatively convert some other magazine to work.

Don't do it to yourself.

im not looking to buy one myself but i like the setup of there built in lights and lasers. I think its been over critisized by people who are afraid of innovation. It may or may not work but at least they are trying something new.

What was the last big innovation in the firearms industry? Im not talking about ergonomics but true firearms innovation. Glock double action trigger, palm safety device ?

Innovation usually solves a problem. This is a solution in search of a problem.

 

[Toughestsoldiers]

Your right, mostly. Complacency leads to deterioration. My guess is carry style weapons are the trend so taurus is trying to find a way to gain a larger share in an industry that i dont feel that have any dominance in.

I'm not afraid of innovation. I'm afraid of trusting my life to Taurus' reliability.

Ok what if this is a smith or a glock or a kimber or something? Is so much of the hate on this thing because its made by taurus compared to its unique design

No I think people would still make fun of it.

No. It's because it's ridiculous.

It's about on par with a grip zone.

 

[Toughestsoldiers]

Remember this when you talk about being rediculous. Do any of you remember the backlash of the poly pistols. The backlash against the glocks was crazy and now the "plastic guns" have really taken over the mid priced gun catagory.

If you're looking to buy one then do it. I think it's an interesting gun. Would I buy one? If I already had a few more guns and had some money burning a hole in my pocket I'd get one if only to see what it's about. Interesting design, great that a laser is built into it, especially since a proper sight is non-existent on it. Does it solve anything? Probably not. Is it a solution in need of a problem? I don't think I'd go that far. Nor is it an innovation. It's a curiosity. Maybe just an exercise in trying to expand market share because there will always be someone that wants something just a little bit different than anyone else.

Cool concept and I want to shoot it, but can't say I would want to buy it...
