Their new CCW piece is interesting ... wonder if this concept will be applicable to larger calibers.

That's going to need a better curve for some of the members here..
Can't wait for Salient to start offering customized bent Glocks. [Sarcasm2]
The curve wouldn't work on my flat fat assQuote:

Now if they could just make it fire a whole mag without a type 2 or 3.
FIFY.Quote:

Well my two questions are:
1) are the magazines curved?
2) just how bad is the trigger (I bet its like a COP357 or some other 15-20lb DAO)
The i1911 redefines the defense pistol by employing the powerful .380 Auto cartridge for excellent power and minimal recoil. It uses MIM parts to reduce weight, and has a 25 pound pull for long-lasting and smooth operation. It's available at your local Apple store beginning at just $7,499. Upgrade to the i1911 Plus, and you'll get 7 rounds of the even more powerful 9mm for just $7,999.Quote:

Yep. knowing the brazilians, they probably tested the right curve on a beach in copacabana... "do you mind if I test the curve of my gun by sliding it in the string of your bathing suit, miss?"Quote:

Wonder how it will mentally affect some peoples' aim as hey hold it with a cant to try and subconsciously align the curve....
Bathing suit? What bathing suit?Quote:

And it's a Locked-Breech and not a Blowback action, so it should be softer recoiling and easier to rack.
The T&E guns are reviewing well and the MSRP is going to be $392 (so expect the street price to be in the $350-370 range ... not bad for a gun with a laser and light).
sorry, but it reminds me of The Homer:
Attachment 52507
or the real life version:
Attachment 52509
It looks like most of the "curve" is on the inside, which doesn't help conceal much. It's probably one of those things where the difference doesn't seem like much until you hold/wear it in person.
How cheap?Quote:

I'm sure that will work well for left handed shooting...
I imagine if the right handed models sell well they'll eventually do a lefty.Quote:

Great thinking outside the norms but bad application. Integrated light and laser was imminent. I'm suprised it hadn't been released already.
I've read a handful of reviews and for the most part they are positive when it comes to shooting (trigger doesn't suck and its a locked breech action so recoil isn't all that bad).Quote:

Overall I think the idea is a solid one (especially from a marketing standpoint) but as others have said its still a Taurus so there's that.
Taurus blows. They make a revolver with a curved grip too.
Backup curved around ones ankle? That way it is hidden because that is one fugly piece of tupperware. It may work or it may not but......[Shock][Whacko][Puke]
They had already started doing the "Curve" on some snub nosed 38's in a limited run a while ago. The one I'm referencing has a clear side to view the mechanics of the revolver. I'm still not impressed.
Correct me if I'm wrong but if all the internal parts are still straight (have to be for that mag to function) then isn't the 'curve' really just a thicker body to create a curve and in which case wouldn't this actually be adding material to what is otherwise a much more slim but flat version? So added weight and thickness to a CCW piece? Sounds like snake oil more than anything but I'm sure in a world where marketing trumps all actual benefits (see RIP ammo for proof) it will sell well.
OMG thanks for this. I lol'dQuote:

Look at the thickness of the slide in relation to the barrel for instance and now compare that to the thickness of the pistol on either side of the barrel to similar firearms in the class. If the magazine is straight then that means that in order to get the curve they have to add material that otherwise wouldn't be there. It seems that unless the magazine were also curved you are just taking what would be the standard internal plane and just adding more material to the outside to get the curve. So your lines should extend down on either side of the barrel to show where the magazine and fire control group is and then everything on the outside is essentially not critical to the firearm aside from some degree of strength. If more is added than say what an XDs or Shield has then that's added thickness overall and weight even if it does curve. It's still excess. Does that make sense?Quote:

I think I agree.... Based on the picture above, material on left might be added for structural rigidity, but that's about all.Quote:
