    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    This! I thought my LCP "sights" were bad. I won't be going near this abomination. If it brings new shooters into the fold, great, other than that I don't see a use.

    I love a company that tries to put lipstick on a pig (the 738), then market "features" like a total lack of sights... The sad news is I'm SURE Taurus will sell tons of these.

    I will say that the concept of an integrated light/laser into the polymer frame is forward thinking - didn't Ruger just come out with something similar that turns on automatically on drawing out of a special holster?

    IIRC it's a Viridian equiped model, LCP and LC9. There's a magnet (?) in the holster that activates it when seperated. Neat idea, but IMO the holster sucks and I only trust CT on my pistols.

    I think new shooters would be the last people I'd want using a gun with no way to aim, at least if I'm present.

    Looking at this objectively (not just trying to get a laugh like some commenters), and separating DESIGN from EXECUTION (where Taurus usually fails hardest):

    1. integrated light and laser. Laser integration has become more common in recent years, but not light AND laser.

    2. Every design is a trade off between shootable ergonomics and concealability. Every gun is somewhere on that continuum. This gun veers farther towards the concealability end of the axis than almost any other pistol we've seen. Whether it pans out or not, it will be an interesting case study for that trade-off.

    3. Lack of traditional sighting setup seems to be a step too far. Even a Guttersnipe like the old ASP pistols would be better and not much bulkier.

    4. Integration of a holster (belt clip): We've seen these before (Keltec, LCP, Technaclip).

    So, it looks like they took several existing technologies (lights, lasers, clip) and wrapped them up with something that prioritizes concealability FAR beyond shootability. Like I said, I'm more interested in discussing the merits of the DESIGN choices they made than I am bashing Taurus' known poor reliability and quality ad nauseum. WE KNOW Taurus makes crap. But what are the merits/demerits/etc of these design choices? Imagine the side of the gun says Glock, or HK. What would you think now? If I knew that this gun was made with typical HK quality, I'd plunk my money down in a heartbeat. Not because I'm a "HK fanboy", but because I'm interested in trying guns that try innovative things to push the envelope...which I would say this thing does.

    I have no doubt they will sell very well.
