I've owned one Taurus, a PT22. I owned it for almost 20 years and I've got no complaints. While I can't base my entire opinion on a company on only one gun, I personally have no reason to dislike them. I've known folks with their revolvers that love them.
As for the curve, I'll pass, too much of a gimmick for me.
