Taurus may be on to something here

yeah, im not sure the Judge was the best self defense choice for most people. I wouldnt carry one myself. BUT.... I would like to buy a used one cheap. We have lots of snakes here and it would be easier for my wife to push the stroller while carrying the 410 revolver over the 18.5" pistol grip 12 gauge now.

How cheap?

That Taurus looks like it will have one useful purpose. Little kids prolly won't get into trouble if they draw it or bite a pop tart in that shape!

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.

No matter how you bend it, it's still a Taurus.

Outta da park!

So just carry two guns then?

According to Taurus' website, the gun was built around being able to carry, not to shoot. Great thinking there [sarcasm]. Let's design something not for its primary purpose but for convenience. How about Toyota making an L-shaped truck that fits in my garage around my workbench? If they do make right and left curve models, the mags won't be interchangeable due to the baseplates.

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).

If they do make right and left curve models, the mags won't be interchangeable due to the baseplates.

Looking at the pics it almost looks like you could flip the baseplate around and it would work. But that is yet to be seen.

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.
