They Dared to Innovate: Taurus Curve

In this Taurus Curve review, I take a close look at one of the strangest concealed carry pistols ever made — with its curved frame, built-in laser, and bold "body-fitting" design. We test how it shoots, how comfortable it really is for everyday carry, and whether this 2015 .380 still makes sense in 2026.

The Taurus Curve’s curved polymer frame was designed to fit the human body for better everyday carry comfort, and it actually delivers on that promise — it’s surprisingly easy to forget you’re wearing it. We go over the gun’s history, unique features like the built-in laser and light, the lack of iron sights, and how it handles in real-world point shooting drills. I also put the Taurus Curve through a full shooting test, including close-range drills, rapid fire splits, and longer-range steel hits to see what this little .380 can really do. Along the way we talk about its pros and cons, how it compares to modern micro-compacts like the Sig P365 and Glock 43X, and whether it still has a place today as a backup gun or fun collector piece. If you’re into weird guns, innovative designs, or honest concealed carry reviews, this one’s for you.
