Weird curved pistol for carry.

One of the stupidest things the gun world has produced imo and there have been plenty.

Look real close [ Say from 25 feet or so ] and I think you can see a small nick in the crown.

Why is that guy in the video trying to target shoot with a 5 to 10 ft gut gun and use a Laser in bright sunlight?He must have gotten a bad one out of the box because this curve didnt jam.

He is trying to use the laser because that is the only viable sighting system the included out of the box. The range issues are because BUG matches are designed to push marginal platforms to their breaking point. For some guns that means pushing them to double digit yards instead of practically contact distances, but the courses do need to push good BUGs too, not just the trash.

And yes, Taurus can produce reliable guns, and the Curve is just a simple blowback and so should be innately reliable. But Taurus is also know for wildly variable QC and has a reputation for screwing up even the simplest things (like magazine base plates) because they cut corners at every opportunity. This is why it is generally good advice to function test new guns at earliest opportunity, because if there is a problem it is far easier to get support when you are fresh from the gun store, rather than after the gun has sat in a safe unused for over a year. This is true even for manufacturers that have a reputation for reliability and great QC, but is especially true for companies that have a reputation for no QC and shipping whatever falls off the end of the production line.

If you have a good one that is fantastic, but that is never a guarantee from Taurus. It probably helps that the gun was used, as that imparts a fairly significant "survivor bias" as I am sure many bad ones found themselves at police turn ins and abandoned at gunsmith shops.

Forgotten Weapons did a BUG match with one of these;

He was somewhat less than impressed.

Jam-o-matic!

I think it's pretty darn cool, albeit gimmicky, but for only a hundo... sheeeeeet you can't go wrong. I say great acquisition!

As much as I hate Taurus, some of their ideas are interesting. The judge and other firearms are pretty fun. The curve? hmmm...
